Broadcaster: Radio Canada International Interval Signal Series 1970's
Date of recording: Circa 1970s
Frequency: 9.625 MHz
Reception location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 or Realistic DX-150A and a longwire antenna
Notes: Back in the early 1970s, Radio Canada International ran a very popular interval signal series on their SWL Digest program. This was hopefully to help DXer's identify that sought after station. I recall recording a few of these programs, and while going over one of my old cassette tapes recently, I came across a segment where they were presenting a number of African interval signals. Subsequently, I have uncovered five additional segments, or at least, portions of them. As these were originally recorded with an open mike to the speaker of the receiver, some room noise (voices) may be detected, as well as small amounts of unedited material near the ends of some of the segments. These were recorded at Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, likely on 9625 kHz.

Broadcaster: ORTF Paris France 1970
Date of recording: 1970
Frequency: 9.620 MHz
Reception location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antenna
Notes: Here is the interval signal of the ORTF in Paris, France circa 1970. In my early days of shortwave listening, their nice clear French language announcement was good practice prior to tackling weaker African signals in the often static ridden tropical bands.
