Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, for the following recording and notes:
Notes: Another short clip from an old 1971 cassette tape, La Voix du Zaire in French with multiple station ID's. In the 1970's, I typically recorded stations in the hope of catching a station identification and a few details for a reception report. This one did help me get a nice QSL letter from the station.
Date of recording: 11/20/1971
Frequency: 15.245 MHz
RX location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada
Receiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antenna
