Re: [IRCA] [CapeDX] 1530 VOA Sao Tome at sign-on and sign-off

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

I get a kick out of those anmts.  The guy who recorded them LONG ago is no longer with us - Frank Oliver.  The U. S. Information Service is long gone as are 'cultural centers.'  And the zip on the address given - 20547 - hasn't been used in decades.

Oh well, it's not like anybody's actually listening ... except us DXers.  ;-)
