NOTES:
Here are two more episodes from my collection of recordings of Shortwave Listener's Digest from Radio Canada International, this time from August 22, 1982 and September 04, 1982. Part one program highlights are: a continuation of the discussion of undersea cables, Glenn Hauser's DX Tips part one, a look at clocks for use in SWLing and more DX Tips. Part two program highlights are: a short comment regarding ANARC 1982, Mailbag questions, ANARC 1982 recap with an interview with David Meisel and an item on the New World Information Order, Glenn Hauser's DX Tips. The recording from 9/4/82 is poor due to adjacent-channel QRM.
