Does anyone here have any SW monitoring experiences during the Falklands War?

I should still have my cassette recordings of "Argentine Annie"
somewhere in storage.


And, if you might have copies of 'Calling The Falklands' via the BBC or any other
material I'd be interested.


Unfortunately, I didn't make any copies of the BBC 'Calling the
Falklands' though I certainly listened to the program quite
frequently. At that time, I was much more into taping clandestine and
pirate stations and not into taping the "big guns".


As a side note, I had an opportunity to go onboard HMS Sheffield when they made a
port visit to Norfolk, it was sunk during the course of the war.

At that time, the brother-in-law of a shipmate was onboard Sheffield, but as far as
I know he was not there during the war.
