Dear Mr. Patala,
Congratulations on being able to pick up the AFRTS programs you described.
It's true, we do broadcast the signal on shortwave from a location in
Grindavik, Iceland. The signal comes to us from American Forces Radio and
Television Service in California. We shortwave it now...a new thing...
because we want ships nearby to hear it.
I am the officer-in-charge of a radio and television station here. We have
Navy and Air Force assigned, as well as Icelandic civilians. We broadcast
only two radio stations from this location, but have around 11 cable radio
stations that are received in homes and work centers on the base. The
programming comes to us from California, but we insert local identifiers and
command information (wear your seatbelt, follow the speed limit, go to
college...).
The station in Diego Garcia still exists.
Today, it's 06 degrees Celsius or 43 degrees Fahrenheit. It's mostly
cloudy, but the sun is bright and, as you know, the days are longer and
longer this time of year. The tulips are about to bloom and the daffodils
have been in bloom for about three weeks now.
For your information, my husband and two daughters are stationed here with
me and we love it here. It's clean, safe and beautiful. We do miss the
trees of home, though. Sigh.
It's nice to hear from you. I've received reports from Finland, Germany,
Sweden, and Canada. I'm sure I'll hear from more countries as time passes.
Thanks for writing.
Trish Huizinga
