Shortwave Radio Recordings: RCI, BBC, VOA circa 1979 & 1981

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Laskowski, who shares the following recording and notes:

A few snippets from my old shortwave tapes that were too short to upload individually. These were made using a GE portable multi band that had poor selectivity, hence the annoying ute during the BBC clip.

Times of individual clips are:

• 00:00 - 01:59: 1979, July 19 - RCI, frequency announcements in English and french.
• 01:59 - 09:51: 1979, July 20 - BBC, newscast, bothered by an annoying utility station.
• 09:51 - 11:38: 1981, August 28 - VOA, science news item about Voyager 2
• 11:38 - 14:52: 1981, August 29 - VOA, science news item about Voyager 2
