Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> and SRAA<\/a> contributor, Richard Langley, who writes:<\/p>\n

“[C]oncerning the RCI anniversary, attached are scans of a QSL card from the CBC International Service for reception on 20 April 1964 when I was in high school. That was on the Knight-Kit Span Master regenerative receiver I had built the previous Christmas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“About 50 years later (in 2012, actually), I did an interview with RCI’s Victor Nerenberg on GPS and the ionosphere, which appeared on the RCI program “The Link.”<\/p>\n

It’s still on their website:
\nhttp:\/\/www.rcinet.ca\/english\/archives\/program\/the-link\/home\/date\/27-01-2012\/<\/a>
\n(about 15 minutes in)
\nand

The RCI site also is featuring some information related to the 70th anniversary:
\nwww.rcinet.ca\/rci70-en\/<\/a><\/p>\n

And, lastly, there’s also some interesting stuff in the CBC’s Digital Archives under
\nhttp:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/archives\/categories\/arts-entertainment\/media\/radio-canada-international-canadas-voice-to-the-world\/broadcasting-to-the-world.html<\/a>
\nThere was also an episode of the CBC Rewind archives program on RCI:

Many thanks, Richard! I wish I understood the ionosphere as well as you do–that was a fascinating interview. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.<\/p>\n
