4739.71, 1347-, Radio Son La 1 Jul 20 Usual distorted signal with some<br />

days much worse than others, and today is pretty bad. Local lang it seems<br />

rather than Vietnamese. Fair to good only.<br />

INTERVAL SIGNALS <br />

There are a bunch of common interval signal recordings taken off a record,<br />

but at the end (#23) is a special treat...the guy does his vocal<br />

impressions of several of his favorite SWBC stations...worth the trouble<br />

just to hear his rendering of the Radio Australia Kookaburra. Enjoy!<br />
