Radio Canada International (RCI) on 15325 MHz @ 20:45 UTC

Reminds me of when I used to look forward to every Saturday
listening to
Larry Magne and Ian McFarland.

Yeah, I don't even remember how long it's been.

Bill - Per Radio Canada International (RCI) :

"In late-1975, RCI adopted a new magazine format which incorporated
many of the previously separate programs into a single program.
http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/en/qui_historique_6.shtml
Among the programs which were left out of this consolidation were two
long-standing productions - the 'Radio Canada Shortwave Club' and
'Listeners Corner'."

~ RHF

Ian McFarland's program was DX Digest, I think. And previously it was SWL
Digest. Again I'm not positive that this is correct.

Bill - It would appear that you have the better memory ~ RHF

So the Question becomes . . .

Whatever Happen To Ian McFarland of DX & SWL Digests ?
