Hopla, that's interesting, because in the 80s also "Zulu Golf" was on. Here
in Europe you could hear it very often (so I also recorded it very often).

Yes, please do that, and the whole German Branch wishes you very much luck
and success (to underline it: "Sehr viel Glück und Erfolg") to find the
cassette(s)!!

WOW!!

That's nothing special, cause almost all German speaking numbers stations
say "Funef". There are only less ones which said "Funf" (more exactly:
"Fünf"). - But what exactly is "haphazardly"?

All the best to Christopher Gross, who must have a musical idole
("Christopher Cross"), known through songs like "Sailing", "New Yoru City"
or "All right", all hits from the 80s.
