Many thanks to SRAA contributor Tom Laskowski, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: BBC
Date of recording: April 30, 1982
Starting time: 0000
Frequency: 15400
Reception location: South Bend, Indiana
Receiver and antenna: Realistic DX-302
Notes: Here is a recording from 1982 of BBC's Calling the Falklands from April 30, 1982 made during the Falklands War. I believe this was recorded around 0000 UT on 15400 kHz and I believe this was from the transmitter location was Ascension Island. The audio isn't great and was likely recorded on my DX-302 which didn't have great audio.
BBC World Service: April 30, 1982
