Programme Details:(10) Music 52-15 was presented by Martha Hawlyer at 1000 UTC. The programme was about the history of the Rumba. Mentioned a book called Rumba on the River.
Programme Comments: (11) I enjoy the world music presented on Radio Netherlands, but I don't feel your musical programmes come across very well on shortwave. I enjoy hearing the outside weather conditions at the end of the newscast..
Receiver: (7) Duo Muesen FRG-545. Communications type, PLL synthesized.
Antenna: (8) 10 metre long wire out in the garden.
I hope you find my reception report to be of some use. If the details are correct please verify with a QSL verification card. A sticker would also be appreciated, if these are available.
Yours sincerely,
Patricia Smith.
