Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Botswana 1983Frequency: 4.845 MHzRX location: Brantford, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Panasonic RF-3100 and longwire antennaNotes: Radio Botswana used to be famous for their "barnyard" interval signal. While my recording, from 1983, only captures a few seconds of the cowbells, it does include their full national anthem and sign on announcements in Setswana (presumed) and English.
