This comes from Ron Howard in California, courtesy of the NASWA Flashsheet. This is one station that would be very tough on the East Coast due to the full darkness path, but possible on the West Coast...normally I don't echo things like this, but with the devastation there...
========================================
15285 PHILIPPINES. R. Pilipinas/VOP, 0217-0312, 10/409. Special coverage of the damage done by Typhoon Parma; in Filipino; relayed another station; clear references to “Sports Radio”. A check at 0550 of audio streaming for Sports Radio (918 AM) found identical programming as the audio streaming for Radio Magasin (1278 AM), so I suspect many stations were carrying the same audio feed. Sound of sirens between items; mention of “Evacuation Centers”, “report by Governor Antonio”, “National Disaster Coordinating Council” and 0Philippine Broadcasting Service”; gave phone numbers to call to volunteer; President Arroyo heard speaking over a loud speaker. At 0307 heard the only ID for Radio Pilipinas, in English and giving their address and phone number; back to the relay in Filipino and sound of sirens; poor to fair. Even though I could not understand much, it was fascinating to hear this first hand coverage! (Howard-CA)

By the way, Ron uses an Eton E1 - as discussed on another forum just recently....
