(a typo for 9615 which appears in the freq list) and 15345 Sebaa Aioun 50
kW to carry this same sce, while Progr B (Internat Netw) in En, Fr, Sp was

reported schedule also lists 9615 11725 and 15360 but no sites.
Down "memory lane" in 1960 SW is not listed to carry the dom sces but they
had a foreign sce at 1230-1430 in Ar on 15185 50 kW and 15345 10 kW.
O.Lund Johansen (the then editor) lists them as Rabat in the freq
listings.
Information was not so easily available then as it is now, so we should
remember that when turning to the past, I think.
I could'nt prevent my eyes drifting to other stns then on air such as R
Dersa, Tetuan, on MW & 6067 1 kW and seven stns in Tangier - four having
SW facilites - and I can remember hearing The Voice of Tangier with
religious progrs on SW. If only we had available then the rxs we have
today - and could afford to buy them!
