KVOH / Voice of Hope, Los Angeles
is being reactivated this summer. Currently the station is conducting a series
of engineering test transmissions on 17775 kHz. The next scheduled test will be
this Saturday, June 29th, for two hours from 1900-2100 hrs UTC. The power used
will be 50kW, primarily targeted at Cuba, Mexico, Central America and the
Caribbean, but the signal should also be heard over a wide area of the U.S.A.
(east of the Rockies). There's even a slim chance it might be heard in Western
Europe before local sunset.
The test program will be
bilingual, with announcements in both English and Spanish. Reception reports
will be very much appreciated to the mail and/or email addresses given in the
broadcast. All will be verified by means of a new printed QSL card. Since the
Voice of Hope is a non-for-profit ministry, return U.S. postage would also be
appreciated where possible. : )
