Anyone recognize this “DEER” Chinese transistor radio?

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:

I just bought this fully operational AM-only pocket radio made in China at the traditional flea market of Praça XV, in Rio de Janeiro, for only 25 reais (around US$ 4.39). It looks more like a response from the Chinese market to pocket radios manufactured in Japan in the 70s.

Maybe one of your readers has more information about this model.

If you have more info about this small AM transistor radio, please comment! Thanks for sharing, Carlos!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares yet another example of his radio log art, this time for clandestine station, Raadiyoonii Dirree Shaggar.

Carlos notes:

Raadiyoonii Dirree Shaggar, 15330 kHz, clandestine station broadcasting in the Oromo language from Issoudun, France, to Ethiopia.

Weak signal, too much noise and possibly jamming.

Excerpt from the audio quotes “Shoa towns”, probably referring to news that Tigray troops are leaving some regions of Ethiopia. The country has been facing a civil war since November 2020.

Thanks to Hamza Oromo for his kindness in unraveling this audio.

Thank you Mr. Abel Work for the translation of what is said in this audio clip:

“I just listened to the audio clip and 95% of it is just noise and from the couple of sentences that I got, they are talking about that the TPLF has created a lot of people displaced from their home and they need all Ethiopians to help these people with everything including food and shelter”.
