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.
Many thanks to SRAA contributor Tom Laskowski, for sharing the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: Radio Australia
Date of recording: July 27, 1986
Starting time: 0300
Frequency: 17.795 MHz
RX location: South Bend, Indiana
Receiver and antenna: Sony ICF 2001
Notes: Here is a recording of Radio Australia's DX program called Talkback from July 27, 1986. I believe this was recorded around 0300 UT on 17795 kHz when Australia used to come in well in the evenings here.
Some of the program highlights are:
Review of the 1986 ANARC Convention, which was held in Montreal, Canada. Hosted by Radio Canada International, it attracted over 200 attendees. New Zealand's Arthur Cushen was the Guest of Honor for the event.
