I've heard the transmitter at Xuan Mai in Viet, not sure if Xuan Mai has an English broadcast. |

I was listening from a tent last weekend with about 500 foot of 12 gauge wire stuck about 40 feet in a tree. Anyway, I made some pretty good catches of the Voice of Vietnam. The following times and frequencies 1000 UTC English 9840 khz 12020 khz 1100 UTC English 9840 khz 12020 khz 1230 UTC English 9840 khz 12020 khz |

I think it may have been discontinued. I listened to the 20th anniversary of the end of the war. It was interesting to say the least. Actually I remember they had a contest at that time for people who wrote in. I think there is a North American broadcast relayed via Sackville somewhere on 40 meters and 31 meters. |

People hanging off and clinging to the helicopters wanting freedom. That's what Iraq will look like if the democrats get their way. |

Do you remember the picture of the helicopter on top of the Embassy and the iron staircase leading up to it? That very staircase is in the Gerald R.
