Deutsche Welle (Kigali, Rwanda Relay): Circa 1971

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Many thanks to SRAA contributor Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Deutsche Welle, Kigali, Rwanda relay 1971Frequency: 11.965 MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaNotes: When this recording was made in 1971, the easiest way to add Rwanda to your "countries heard" totals was to log the Deutsche Welle (Voice of Germany) relay in Kigali. The station could be heard quite well here in southern Ontario, Canada even though broadcasts were not directed to eastern North America. My QSL card has them using 11965 kHz, however I am not fluent in German and this recording could possibly have been made on a different frequency. This relay station was closed down in 2015 after 50 years of operation. Deutsche Welle (Kigali, Rwanda Relay) Circa 1971 Dan Greenall Download
