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

PERU: Radio Juliaca, Juliaca Peru July 1959. 5015 kHz OAX7X OAX7Z The station came on the air this month and this would appear to be a test transmission playing old time western tunes, mix experiments, and regular ID's. This caption was rebroadcast on Keith Glover's Radio Australia's Mailbox programme the same month as an item of interest to DX listeners.

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.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tony King, who shares the following recording Radio Nederland Biak made in the 1980s on 7190 kHz and notes:

Biak was Dutch East Indies. It became part of Indonesia. The announcement is :" radio Omroep New Guinea" (new gin ear) and the content I think originated in the Netherlands as transcriptions and shipped to the colony.
