Well, Nick, I wouldn't mind going through a few of that girl group's videos
until I find the song that I heard... and I can imagine a few TP-DXers who
might even like to assist me in the search :-)
I've heard that all the radios and TV's in that country are fixed on one or two
"approved" frequencies-- so maybe they are trying to improve the programming
for the captive audience? In any case, it sure beats the angry tirades, martial
music and dreary orchestras.
73, Gary

A video would be quite valuable I would think, Gary....By the looks
of it there would be more than a few to go through until you find
the exact number that you heard, hi.
