.... Is this the same transmitter site that went under the name 'Radio
Altlantica Del-sol' that was on 11 Mhz and was beaming home sick music
to the new occupants of the Falkland islands , back in 1982 ish ?


It was Radio Atlantico del Sur and it broadcast via Ascension Island, I think
only on 9710.

Drake R7, R8, R8A and R8B
70' and 200' wires
I swear by, not at, Drake receivers.

And, as always, don't do business with The Huntington Investment Company.


Ok was a long time ago , Ascension would make sense , it was the uk
version of tokyo rose .. , as for the frequency I was using a marconi
electra at the time , 9 to 11 meg c/s about 1 inch on the dial hihi


I don't have a sound card, but at this site there are clips of both Atlantico del
Sur, "Argentine Annie" and FIBS:
