Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tony King, who shares the following recording and notes:

Radio Presidente Balmaceda  9590 kHz in  Santiago Chile was logged at the time of the Allende crisis in 1971. As a DXer I became attracted to the station because it was heard so well in NZ,and offered them a taped English segment to be played prior to sign off one evening. on a pre arranged date. I recorded Maori vocal items which would be novel to the audience and the tape with my EE announcements was played prior to close down at 0500UTC on that date in July 1971.
