Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: Radio Botswana 1983
Frequency: 4.845 MHz
RX location: Brantford, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Panasonic RF-3100 and longwire antenna
Notes: Radio Botswana used to be famous for their "barnyard" interval signal. While my recording, from 1983, only captures a few seconds of the cowbells, it does include their full national anthem and sign on announcements in Setswana (presumed) and English.
