"AWR Historical" (Cassette Recordings, Parts 1 & 2): Circa 1980

/

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Antonio Ribeiro da Motta, who shares the following recordings and notes:

In 1980 I participated in the AWR Asia DX Contest promoted by the Radio Monitors International program produced by Mr. Adrian Petersen. The program was produced at the AWR Asia studios in Poona (India) and broadcast through the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Company via transmitters in Ekala and Colombo. Despite the reception being very difficult in South America, I managed to participate in the contest and got eighth place. As a prize, I got a cassette called AWR Historical. And it is this material that I would like to share with my friends at Shortwave Archive.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Việt Anh Phạm, who shares the following recording and notes:

Date of recording: May 21, 2023

Starting time: 1530 UTC

Frequency: 15.67 MHz

Reception location: Northern Vietnam.

Receiver and antenna: TECSUN PL-380 with long wire

Notes: An audio recording of Wavescan- the international DX program from World Adventist Radio on May, 21st, 2023. It is produced by WRMI in FL, USA. This recording was made by connecting the mic in port of my Android phone to my radio (Tecsun PL-380) tuned to 15670 kHz with a 5-meter-long wire as an antenna. The signal was transmitted from KSDA- Guam with a power of 100 kW. My radio has a band-width changing function so I used it to optimize audio quality, which resulted in the audio being muffled a little bit at the beginning. QTH: Northern Vietnam

Note that the frequency announcement at the beginning did not match with the actual frequency I tuned to.
