Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: Malawi Broadcasting Corporation
Date of recording: 6/1/1997
Starting time: 0400 UTC
Frequency: 3.380 MHz
RX location: Thamesford, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Panasonic RF-3100 and longwire antenna
Notes: Back in the days before the internet, tuning into a radio broadcast from a far away land was often the closest many of us would ever get to that particular country. Still, some of these radio visits were not easy. The Malawi Broadcasting Corporation from Blantyre on 3380 kHz was a rare visitor to my listening post. I managed this brief recording on June 1, 1997 around 0400 UTC. My receiver location was Thamesford, Ontario, Canada. In the first clip, "This is the M.B.C. and the time is 6 'oclock" can be heard. A second clip is then blended in where you can here a jingle and promotional announcement regarding "a shared vision for a country (Malawi)".
