Many thanks to SWLing Post and SRAA contributor, Tom Laskowski, who shares the following off-air recording of Radio Netherlands and notes:

Along with RCI's Shortwave Listener's Digest, Radio Netherlands Media Network was another favorite DX program of mine.

Here is a recording of an episode from April 9, 1982 which is the first recording of this program from my archive.

The show highlights are:

• Media coverage of the Falklands War from the British and Argentinian sides,
• Pete Meyers with a report that Radio New Zealand did not shut down, the US-Cuban media war,
• Richard Ginbey with African media news and
• John Campbell with a clandestine radio report.

Audio quality is only fair for this recording.
