Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Laskowski, who shares the following recording and notes:

Broadcaster: WRNO

Date of recording: October 10, 1982

Starting time: 2300

Frequency: 11.955 MHz

Reception location: South Bend, Indiana

Receiver and antenna: Sony ICF-2001

Notes: Here are two back-to-back episodes of Glenn Hauser's World of Radio from October 10, 1982 and October 24, 1982. WOR normally aired on WRNO on Sundays at 2330 UTC on 11.955 MHz. A change of frequencies was announced in this first broadcast and might be the actual time and frequency where I recorded these two. These recordings are almost 42 years old and this program is still on the air.

Some of the program highlights are: Part 1: DX, DX and More DX, Station news, lots of UNIDs (one of my UNIDs is featured), Amateur and utility DX news. Part 2: DX news about many countries, recommended BBC programs, NBC radio cancellations, mediumwave news (mentions of some of my LA mediumwave catches), harmonic DX and TV DX from France.

Here is a brief recording of Radiodiffusion Nationale Centrafricaine from Bangui on 5038 kHz shortwave circa 1971. Reception was made in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, where the best reception from African stations was usually late afternoon or early evening local time, just about the time many of these stations were signing off for their broadcast day. Programming was in the French language.

Shortwave transmissions from Radio Afghanistan from Kabul in English were difficult to hear at my location in eastern North America. Here is a brief recording, made sometime in 1971, of the station as they concluded their half hourly English broadcast at 1830 hours UTC on 15.265 MHz in the 19 metre band. The other frequency they used for this transmission is given as 17.775 MHz.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following recording, along with his original artwork (above), and notes:

Opening of Japanese government shortwave radio programs aimed at Japanese citizens abducted by DPRK between 1977 and 1983: "Furusato No Kaze" (in Japanese) and "Nippon No Kaze il bon ue" (in Korean). Broadcasted from a transmitter in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and listened in Florianopolis, Brazil.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Bob Purse, curator of the website Inches Per Second, who shares the following recording and notes:

Periodically, I have shared parts of the large collection of shortwave recordings, most of them of Australian programming, which I picked up... somewhere, at some point. I've shared most of it, at this point, but have a few tapes left. I held off on this because the quality is fairly poor, then near the end becomes abysmal, but I thought I should share it, since there is an audience for these recordings. The newscast heard here makes it clear (specifically, the golf results, among other stories) that at least part of this tape is from the second week of March, 1968.
