VOA Gone?
Jay
have discovered that I can no longer receive any of my old VOA frequencies.
I used to be able to listen to their Caribbean and Central America feeds
like locals, and during the day I got other feeds, generally pretty well.
Now I can't find them at all.
What are the details of what has happened at VOA and are there any
transmissions still receivable in the Northeast USA?

That's the first thing I checked, and I found the listing for Caribbean and
Central America is gone (I have on old printout). I haven't had a chance to
try daytime yet but there seem to be no nighttime signals in their current
list which I can hear here.
Any more details on VOA?

What more do you want? That's the damn schedule.
Sheeesh.... You want me to write reception reports for ya too?
Jay
tell me about what is going on at the VOA and if anyone could report on any
signals they might still be able to receive for VOA. They seemed like
reasonable questions for this forum.

No anger at all... I gave you the site for the schedule... what more do you

The VOA is audible most anytime here.
Turn your radio on.

Silly you - you clearly haven't noticed this group is about most everything
BUT
shortwave radio anymore. It's all about flame wars between 2 or 3 nutjobs
who think this is their private playground, and about political rantings -
surely
you've noticed that MOST of the posts have some stupid subject line that has
NOTHING to do with radio.
I thought you questions were fine - I'm curious myself if that in 10 years
there
will even be SW radio and Ham radio left as we know it - or will digital
modes
completely eliminate all of it?

From April/2004 Monitoring Times:
John Figliozzi writes on p 44 (summary in my words):
He called it "death by 1000 cuts".
VOA's already reduced to 19 hrs/day will soon be cut to 14. Smith-Mundt Act
(I'm not familiar with this) which means the changes are done out of public
view. The board of governors (mixture of commercial broadcasters and
political appointees) prefer spending $ on obscure commercial-sounding
propaganda outlets instead (Radio Free Asia, R. Farda, R. Sawa etc [I don't
know what the etc might be]). Other languages are also being cut. He
wondered if the funding cuts for VOA is b/c their charter maeans gov't
can't interfere and funding other outlets is subject to no such
constraints. He suggests writing to gov't representatives.
---
I'm guessing these cuts have occurred and continue. I don't generally
pursue VOA but have noticed I don't come across it as much when going after
other stations.

Shortwave has pretty much disappeared from this newsgroup. Nearly all
posts are by closed-minded ideologues berating each other. The best way
I know of to identify a fool is that fools like to argue with people
they consider to be fools.
In answer to your original question, many international broadcasters,
including the VOA, have judged that they get better coverage of their
intended audiences via FM, satellite, and internet broadcasting, at
least in the more developed countries. It has gotten much more difficult
to pick up international shortwave in North America because of this. So
it becomes much more of a research problem: understanding propagation,
look for a broadcast intended for somewhere else that might make it to
your location. I can't give you specifics because I haven't done the
research for the VOA, and in any case, it depends on what part of the
country you live in. It often depends on things like transmitter antenna
sidelobes. It's generally impractical to obtain this information, so you
just have to try a bunch of frequencies to see what you can get. A good
antenna is a must.
-jpd
Dan Robinson
Justice and State Department, or to your own representatives:
Dear Congressman/Senator:
I have observed, along with many Americans in recent weeks and months,
the steady decline in the availability of Voice of America (VOA) programs
using shortwave frequencies.
It is simply outrageous that American citizens, who continue to fund VOA
programs, are no longer able to hear programming that it is otherwise
provided on VOA websites such as "voanews.com" and clearly aimed
at being competitivewith other world news "portals" on the internet.
It is absurd that VOA's considerable news programming continues
to fall under the Smith-Mundt Act, and that this law remains on the books
in the 21st century.
Why hasn't Congress moved to eliminate Smith-Mundt? Does anyone
truly believe, in this day and age, that this law still serves a purpose?
Americans should be able to hear the output of VOA other than through
internet websites, which are themselves, a work-around that effectively
renders Smith-Mundt restrictions moot. VOA should be accessible, as
well, via FM outlets across the United States.
I urge you to address these points in open congressional hearings, and
move to reverse what appears to many who continue to respect VOA's
news output, to be VOA's "death-by-a-thousand-cuts."

I answered his question did I not? Did I not point him in the right direction
with the schedule info? Did I not tell him to turn his radio on? Did I not tell
him that the VOA is heard on a regular basis?
Once again I have to ask, should I go help him tune his radio and write reception

So tell the originate poster which transmissin could be heard in
NE-america for some chance and what local time due to maybe grayline or
night/ daytime only reception corresponding to the frequencies and
transmitter sites.
That would really help the originate poster to get censored
"information" from his government.

Listening to VOA is in fact worthless. For some bad reason I get their
hourly news from a local FM-transmitter during daytime on buisiness.
Pure propaganda for US troops travelling outside US and torture people
just for the ONLY reason to get control over raw oil reserves.
ALL other given reasons are pure lies of the US gouvernment. But most US
citicens are too stupid to realize it.
They just believe in the fabrications and lies of the gouvernment you
are supporting. So YOU are a fabricator and liar too. That's a proven fact.
I do just listen to BBC on 6195. But for sure I do not listen to
shortwave as much as you do as I am employed and having a real family
life. Get it.

I'm sure sorry you can't listen as much as I do, but seeing as how this is a

Yep, and I gave him the location of the new schedule... after that it's up to
him, is it not?
As I stated, what am I to do, come turn on his radio and tune it for him?
Some of you twits out there actualy have to put forth some effort.

information. I would think that just about everyone on here checks out
schedule information at one point or another.
There are a number of spoilers that schedule information can't accomodate.
Propagation, receiver differences, antenna differences, local noise etc.,
etc. can render even the most up-to-date schedule information as seemingly
useless. In other words, without knowing everything that Jay tried, the
information was useful.
The follow-up on the other hand........

I don't understand why you're such a pantywasted dicksplat. I don't
understand why
you have no wife and no life. I don't understand the meaning of life or the
answer to the universe.
I don't understand why you're sitting up there in the middle of a freakin'
lightning storm with your
delicate electronics running just so you can try to have the last word in an
innane exchange of
flames with someone that you've never met.
I guess that about covers it.
