Hello,

"Subject:
         QSL Response for Jan Edh
    Date:
         Wed, 4 Oct 2000 12:23:49 -0400
   From:
         "Foutch, Michael JOC" <qsl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
     To:
         "'jan.edh@xxxxx'" <jan.edh@xxxxx>




Dear Jan,

        This letter serves as confirmation of your January 17, 2000,
reception of Armed Forces Radio and Television.  The signal originates
from
Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station, Diego Garcia,
at
12579 khz and 4319 khz.

AFRTS shortwave radio transmissions have historically existed to provide

AFRTS radio service to U.S. Navy vessels and outlying military posts
receiving limited American radio or television through other means.  The

signals will be in existence for a limited time until a new technology,
which is currently being tested, allows for reception of AFRTS via
satellite.

        We are pleased that you have received the AFRTS shortwave signal
and
thank you for your interest and confirmation of the signal's quality,
and I
apologize for the delay in my response.

                                        Sincerely,



                                        Michael Foutch
                      Chief Broadcast Operations Specialist"

No QSL for Guam this far...
Best regards from
Jan Edh,
Hudiksvall, Sweden
