Beloved Leader wrote: South Africa, huh? I couldn't figure out the footnotes at the schedule I was looking at, an old EiBi one I think. Years ago, on my first SWR, a multiband affair that I bought at a yard sale for 75 cents (note gratuituous reference to buying radios cheap, for the benefit of Cuhu), I used to love to snoop around the vicinity of 5 MHz on winter afternoons just suc as today's. I used to get regularly a station called Africa No. that played calypso. It was so much fun to listen to that while snow was on the ground. I'd look outside and see the typically beautiful winter sunset. Later at night I could hear a commercial SW station in Capetown. I remember the ads for John Player cigarettes and Yamaha motorcycles. What was their name, Radio 7, maybe? Yes, most likely Radio 7. Used to listen to them here and believe I have a QSL. I seem to recall their Afrikaans slogan, it was something like "Lekker Loslyf Landswyd" or something like that. dxAce Michigan USA |
