of talks in English, addr. in Canada; 45343.   Unfortunately, I can't recall
which rlgs. stn the tune played last belongs to, but that was almost enough
to suspect this is possibly a harmonic of 9730.   Best reception via the 300
m SoAm Beverage, but since it's unterminated like the other 3, maybe it's
actually emanating from Europe.   Now, Afrikaans, it really didn't sound
 like Dutch, though I may be wrong.   Any guesses?
