BBC World Service - Vintage Chart show April 1994 On Shortwave

Paul Burnett's Vintage Chart Show was recorded on a Shortwave Radio.

Paul Burnett (born 26 November 1943, Hulme, Manchester) is an English radio disc jockey, who began his radio career while in the Royal Air Force in the Persian Gulf in 1964. In 1966 he joined offshore radio station, Radio 270,[1] broadcasting off Scarborough, North Yorkshire. After the banning of the offshore stations he moved in 1967 to Manx Radio on the Isle of Man, but he soon joined Radio Luxembourg; where he hosted the chart show and discovered many recordings, which had been thought lost, of William Joyce's propaganda broadcasts to Britain, made from the Luxembourg stations during the Nazi occupation of the Grand Duchy. On Luxembourg, he presented the Saturday Top 20 show from 1967-74.

This was recorded on the short wave. On shortwave stereo is not possible. You could hear the signal fading.

Thanks Verma. Vintage Chart Show was my very favourite program. I lost many recordings. A very few were saved and this was one.

I captured quite a few of this by plugging from my hi fi into the sky system as it was the only way to capture it in stereo mode. Steve Wright's " Live from the archives" was broadcast a few hours later. Memories ahh.

Is the radio in stereo mode? I know the broadcast probably wasn't stereo but there is a bit of swishing.
