Radio Australia 9580am 1010 utc 28 January 2017

Excellent reception this morning...just booming in on the (slightly older than RA) '36 Zenith Console 8S154

Last shortwave transmission of their delightful Saturday Night Country program, playing music from all around the world for their final over air broadcast.

1010z Pair of unid light country ballads sung by YL's.
1022z Appalachian originated song by YL
1025z YL and OM talking about the music from across the world, into a song from the desert region of the subcontinent.
(Note: There is a certain bit of irony here.  Shortly after the BBC greatly reduced their shortwave services, RA broadcast a tongue-in-cheek world music program featuring tunes from places where the BBC no longer broadcasts. The worm has turned.)
1035z YL and OM talking about Bengali music into a song from there.
1100z News including Trump/May meeting, domestic protests, young offenders, King George digital archives, Australian Open
1105z Australian sporting event (not soccer)  :(
