"In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." The sound excerpt is from Swiss Radio International, 1982.

  • Thanks for posting this! This particular "interval signal" with its beautiful melody has haunted me ever since I first heard it when listening to shortwave way back in 1973. When the announcer came on the air, it was a foreign language unknown to me. I have wondered for decades where that "interval signal" originated from, as I have not heard it on shortwave in recent times. Thanks to YouTube, I discovered the origin of this beautiful set of 14 notes (Radio Switzerland)! Mystery solved!

  • love the omd bit at the end .

  • I remember listening to the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation's broadcasts. However, in 1976, their 49 meter frequency conflicted with the VOA's Ukranian signal. When their show came on the air, I lost SBC's broadcast.

  • @numberstation Radio Sweden is next to go on 31st Oct 2010

  • I loved SRI's jingle,it's sad it went the way of so many others...make the most of those SW broadcasters that remain,they wont be around for much longer,I suspect.

  • I miss the early 80s. And, yes, I am aware that good music is always around and that that makes me sound old.

  • No there werent any messages after this callsign,it usually repeat looped itself five minutes before the start of the english language broadcasts of swiss radio international on shortwave which then gave details of frequencies they were broadcasting on and the start of the programme would immediately commence.

  • Not surprising. I heard this and many others too as a child. They were hidden messages to spies around Europe usually with repeated numbers afterwards telling the spies what to do. Check out the Conet Project especially The Lincolshire Poacher. It's very eerie when you consider they we probably messages to kill other people.

  • True. It is actually the last track on the 2008 remastered version. I think I might buy that now, even though I have the original album, I love the sound of the bonus tracks.

  • Odd,strange and wonderful.Would have been the perfect end for the original dazzle ships in my opinion.
