Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Tom Gavaras, who shares the following recording of Radio South Africa which was originally recorded on December 31, 1977 from his home in\u00a0Plymouth, MN using a Hammarlund HQ-180.<\/p>\n

Tom notes:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/RSA12311977BE\/Rsa12-31-1977BE.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
