WSB Atlanta 750 khz  12-31-1988

I was going to a boarding school in NE GA. Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. The ONLY time we got GREAT radio was after sunset...WABC was the station most in my dorm listened to the most!!

WABC - New York Cousin Brucie Ron Lundy 11 - 01 - 1965. Recorded at Rabun Gap GA

An AM daytimer...they simulcasted the AM and FM, FM of course was 24/7. Located next to Fort Hood, Texas

KIXS - Killeen Bob Jones May 31, 1976 Memorial Day

Thanks to Merrill Thompson for making this GREAT aircheck available!
Merrill has several airchecks of Montgomery radio stations from the early to mid 70s including WBAM which will be posted at a later date!
Sometimes a song will start...and end abruptly...not TOO often, all I can surmise as per Merrill he made these primarily for the songs, I'm assuming that maybe a song would start that he didn't care for, thus, he paused the deck until that song was over. STILL a great aircheck..

A snippet of unscoped BM I recorded from the then KCEE-FM. What we would call "Elevator Music" today. At the time, no reels, just "live" folks spinning vinyl!

KCEE-FM 96.1 Tucson Beautiful Music 1972

Recorded from Rantoul, Illinois at Chanute AFB when I was stationed there in 1969!

WLS - Chicago Chuck Buell 11-17-1969

Quoted from Reelradio:
"The late Bob Elliot, who was also known as K.O. Bayley, is heard on this very good to excellent stereo recording of The Big Town Sound on WOR-FM in January of 1968."

WOR-FM New York Bob Elliot - 1/22/68

WKTU-New York 92.3-Bob Bottone 11-08-1981

WRFM (FM) New York Beautiful Music 1968

Probably about my 4th or 5th time on the air. Jim Arnold gave me some time off for an operation I had to have, so there was a gap!
This June 11, 2024 is the FIRST TIME EVER I've posted this aircheck!!
The "DJ" is a little rough, but some GREAT Country tunes!!

KDWB Minneapolis-St. Paul  Don DuChene 2-10-1963

Lifted off of Rewound Radio...A greeting added at the beginning, then the ACTUAL and original aircheck from the Countdown of all the songs from 1969 as played on New Years Day 1970. This is very special to me! It was the year I was stationed at Chanute AFB IL and ALL I listened to was WLS!! Length is 5 hours and 21 minutes including the greeting.

WLS Big 89 Countdown of 1969 01/01/1970

This aircheck was recorded on New Years Eve, December 31, 1982, starting at about 7:30pm right on up till 10 minutes past midnight.  This is the ultimate live broadcast for K-Earth as the station featured the "Top 82 songs of 1982 countdown" during a live broadcast/NYE Party from their studios.  The air shift personality is normally Pat Evans, and he is live along with almost everyone else at the station.  We pick up the countdown show in progress, but not just music is featured but lots of chatter and memories from the staff is featured between records.
Just after midnight, after the station party, the very active background noise of the New Years party gives way to a now very quiet voice-tracked studio setting with "Kerri" Tombazian for the last few minutes of this aircheck.
