Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Notes: The Windward Islands Broadcasting Service heard
with banana cutting notices for growers in St. Vincent and Granada prior to closing announcements giving frequencies and target areas. Due
to "primitive equipment" and low budget during my high school years, the recording was made using just an open mike placed in front of the speaker
of the Hallicrafters. The original cassette tape, which is now 51 years
old, was used to produce this digital version.Frequency: 11.975RX location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antenna
