From the Shortwave Archive: Radio South Africa (RSA) New Year’s call-in program 1977

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Tom Gavaras, who shares the following recording of Radio South Africa which was originally recorded on December 31, 1977 from his home in Plymouth, MN using a Hammarlund HQ-180.

Tom notes:

During the late 1970s, Radio South Africa (RSA) would broadcast a New Years call-in show. This recording is from 1/1/1978 (12/31/1977 in the US). At two minutes into the recording, you can hear the interval signal for RAI (Italy) in the background. I have scoped (edited) the music. Unsure how long RSA carried on this tradition, but heard a similar call-in broadcast the following year on 1/1/1979.

    Hi there, my name is WR Van Der Merwe. I have been searching for Radio Rsa news bulletins done by my grandfather in the 70’s, specifically the Afrikaans service. His name was Eddie Van Der Merwe. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
