Title: Radio Vanuatu with new promo
Post by: Ron - Calif. on May 29, 2023, 1135 UTC
VANUATU. 11835 (3rd harmonic), Radio Vanuatu, on May 29, at 0855 UT, heard a new promo for RV, with
some of their history ("proud history . . .established back in year 1966," etc.); then at 0900, actually had the
correct time ("eight o'clock") and into today's edition of "Vanuatu Focus"; especially good reception; 3945
(blocked by ham QRM), 7890 (very poor), 15780 (best ever reception, better than 7890) and 19725 (not
heard). My audio is at https://app.box.com/s/eqefvdygqfa8g8od52x1w5st1aweklsw .

Have been enjoying this station for many years! My 1980 QSL card - https://app.box.com/s/hnuulribb8isifp9fg7722s6j9sfnikf .

3945 was moderately listenable the other day here for the first time in over a year.

ive never heard 7890 or whatever that 8mhz harmonic was once.

11835 is freakin solid here.  Just bangin in like a local AM
