An Indonesian Response
From my home location the band is full of stations from Thailand, which don't verify. There are a few Indonesians audible, the best among them being Bukittingi on 1512 and Pelambang on 1287.
Getting a response from the Indonesians is also a challenge. I have tried Pelambang with no luck, I tried Medan on 801 with no luck, but I have had a partial response from Bukittingi. They have sent me an email seeking my home address so that they could send me a letter. Fingers crossed!

Caveat Emptor
This means buyer beware. I purchased a battery charger from the web. I thought I was getting a good deal as it was less than 100RM. However, my foolishness was soon exposed. Initially it didn't work, then it decided it would work. The third time of use saw it stop and when I touched it, it was very hot. I feared I may have cooked my battery, but no, only the charger. See photo below.
I have since purchased another battery charger from the net paying around 270RM. This one works superbly.
I was off the airwaves for two weeks with a very flat battery. Lesson learned!

A verie has arrived
As mentioned in the post below this one, I logged Thunder AM, the AFN station on 1530 in Yongsan South Korea the other night. I had trouble finding an address and in the end I messaged the Facebook page.
A verification arrived today from George A. Smith, Chief Affiliate Relations/Public Affairs Officer/Broadcast Operations, American Forces Network (AFN) Broadcast Center, 23755 Z Street, Riverside, CA 92518. His email address is: george.a.smith32.civ@mail.mil

A new logging
For my SDR recording last night I have managed to log Thunder AM 1530 in Korea. This is an American Forces Network station. I now need to go back over the recording and see what further details I can get. The signal was heard at 25232.
One song was identified - Annie's Song by John Denver and there was an announcement heard in English - the only words I could make out were 'much better'. Later another announcement gave an 800 phone number.
It is a slim hope, but I have verified stations with less detail than that!
