Many countries maintained an international service broadcasting to all corners of the world.<br />
<br />
You could tune the dial and travel the world. But over the years these stations have disappeared with only a handful still running international services.<br />
<br />
I recorded many of these now long disappeared sounds onto cassette tapes.<br />
<br />
I have now downloaded these recordings and can share some of them with you. All these recordings were made in the early years of the 1980s.<br />
<br />
So sit back and enjoy the sounds of shortwave from the past.uk dxerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16914337005866804699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222050652701512495.post-9931202522184068302018-11-14T15:11:00.002+00:002023-09-08T19:17:24.165+01:001980s shortwave sounds - part 13<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn8cZF9umX-TEf8lok2UlV_kP3nIBLweipZlXQOV1B34tY9ZPHiZWQaDpOZ2sKabYzyIqtvXdaBilIFrDxujldk-7KF75aBPuGPlXQgZZlcSy6ZVc1fSsMDuw9r9LtChd-HjpyhIyYZuI/s1600/USA+WRNO.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1037" data-original-width="1600" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn8cZF9umX-TEf8lok2UlV_kP3nIBLweipZlXQOV1B34tY9ZPHiZWQaDpOZ2sKabYzyIqtvXdaBilIFrDxujldk-7KF75aBPuGPlXQgZZlcSy6ZVc1fSsMDuw9r9LtChd-HjpyhIyYZuI/s320/USA+WRNO.jpg" width="320" /></a>Here is another collection of recordings from the 1980s including the <b>Voice of Nicaragua</b> in English, a mysterious anti-Castro clandestine called <b>Radio Caiman</b> and American shortwave stations <b>WRNO, WHRI</b> and <b>KCBI</b>.<br />
