Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following
short recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Difusora do Maranhao, Sao
Luiz, BrazilStarting time: believe it was around 0000 UTCFrequency: 4.755Reception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaNotes: This recording was made sometime in 1970 using a Panasonic cassette recorder with an open mike next
to the speaker of the Hallicrafters S-52. The familiar tune of Raindrops
Keep Fallin' on My Head can be heard followed by the closing announcements
in Portuguese. Lots of QRM and possible het due to station being not
exactly on 4755, het disappears when station carrier goes off. Lots of fun
on the 60 metre band in those days!
