That was a very good catch in those days Brian, as if I remember
rightly Springbok R. was only broadcast on some low powered
transmitters, making them difficult to receive far away.

In later years the apartheid regime built the giant transmitters at
Meyerton (near Johannesburg) to send out their propaganda on Channel
Africa.
