1. A new Viet Nam transmitter has been heard on 11935 kcsl the frequency of the
regular iet Nam News Agency station YHA, sending press and quasi-press material in
English and French Morse. The new transmitter also originally used call letters VNA,
but shifted about 20 February 1949 to .
3.
All call letters are clearly without reference to' international convention
assignme
nts, and give no indication of 'Sransmitter location. VNA is presumablyllocated
within t
he Viet-Minh-controlled area. From the nature of material transmitted it is
'
su.pposedl
,possible that VNRJ is at a location where outside news sources are more readily
availabl
e and is feeding background information to the Viet Nam News Agency and other
sections
of the Ho-Chi-Minh government.
