Was trawling some Usenet newsgroups, such as rec.radio.shortwave -- see
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=rec.radio.shortwave
-- and got a pleasant surprise to find that broadcasts via Goa were being
reported far and wide.
Apparently, a 15-minute English language programme is going out at 1530
UTC/GMT on 11740.
Dan Robinson lamented that while we're seeing the end of the shortwave
listening era overall, there "have always been surprises -- the
improved audibility of Bhutan, new stations like Goa, and the various
Pacific island broadcasters (usually via religious organizations)
providing new opportunities (for shortwave radio listeners)".
Steve reported hearing the Goa transmissions in Holland, MI. Is that
Michigan? Can any Goanetter hear it out there?
And this is something "Bernado" is really going to love. Radio listener
enthusiasts, keen to log as many different radio stations as possible, are
also complaining that the old-timers have the odds in their favour. At
that time, Goa issued separate radio listener verification reports. That's
simply not available any more to those below the age of 50! FN
