Radio Singapore International circa 1990s
/For DX’ers in the 1960’s and 1970s a key listening objective was Radio Singapore. The frequency many of us heard the station on was 5,010 khz which was always a challenge in early mornings on the east coast of North America but nevertheless was heard frequently. The QSL card I received for that frequency is still one of my most cherished. But in the 1990’s Singapore was more easily heard via its new international service, Radio Singapore International. While I was working for Voice of America as its Southeast Asia correspondent, I used a Drake R8 to monitor regional broadcasts. This recording of RSI was made on that radio from my Bangkok listening location (I do not recall the frequency) using a longwire that was hanging out our apartment building in the very crowded and noisy Thai capital (also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Singapore_International)
