Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: Trans World Radio Bonaire "The DX Special" circa 1974
Frequency: 11.815 MHz
Reception location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Realistic DX-150A with a long wire antenna
Notes: Trans World Radio from the island of Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles broadcast on shortwave from 1964 to 1993. They used to put a strong signal into my receiver location in southern Ontario, Canada. The station also used to air a program called "The DX Special", hosted by Al Stewart, which appears to have been produced in their Monte Carlo studio. I recently came across a short recording I made circa 1974, where I happened to catch the end of one of these programs.
