Ya, those were the days RHF! Our best and most popular radio station
was the famous SPRINGBOK RADIO which sadly went defunct after TV was
introduced in South Africa. Everyone used to jaw jaw the next day over
the wonderful programmes they heard the night before.

We used to go out and eat at the steak house early on a Friday night
after work so that we could rush home afterwards and listen to "Squad
Cars".

I used to listen to them when I was an expatriate pick and shovel
miner up in Northern Rhodesia in the sixties. I wonder if dxAce ever
got a QSL from them?

A preservation crowd has just opened a website
http://www.springbokradio.com/
with a lot of material that brought tears of nostalgia to my eyes
hearing the lovely old programs and super commercial ads they had in
the old days.

Do you guys have any sites commerorating the old U.S. radio station
classics of yesteryear?

However, all is not lost because the BBC WS programs some very
interesting material beamed to South Africa that frequently flights
matters of interest that are not covered locally, so I tell friends
about these stories the next day.
