Photo of Hallicrafters S-52 by Rich (KB8TAD) 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!
