WRNO (World of Radio Episodes): October 10 & October 24, 1982

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Laskowski, who shares the following recording and notes:

Broadcaster: WRNO

Date of recording: October 10, 1982

Starting time: 2300

Frequency: 11.955 MHz

Reception location: South Bend, Indiana

Receiver and antenna: Sony ICF-2001

Notes: Here are two back-to-back episodes of Glenn Hauser's World of Radio from October 10, 1982 and October 24, 1982. WOR normally aired on WRNO on Sundays at 2330 UTC on 11.955 MHz. A change of frequencies was announced in this first broadcast and might be the actual time and frequency where I recorded these two. These recordings are almost 42 years old and this program is still on the air.

Some of the program highlights are: Part 1: DX, DX and More DX, Station news, lots of UNIDs (one of my UNIDs is featured), Amateur and utility DX news. Part 2: DX news about many countries, recommended BBC programs, NBC radio cancellations, mediumwave news (mentions of some of my LA mediumwave catches), harmonic DX and TV DX from France.
