- reaperducer 6y agoThanks for the link to that site. I expect I'll waste most of this evening looking through it. It brought back memories of my SWL days. My favorites were Radio Sofia, Radio Habana (when playing music), and RNZI. I even sent away for an RNZI t-shirt, and was wearing it in Pennsylvania one day when a Maori recognized it and came running across the room to ask me about it. I still listen to RNZ Pacific online, but it's not the same.
