On this day, at almost exactly this minute in 1999 (for the last of it, anyway,) I recorded this snapshot of stuff from various North Carolina radio stations, as the band was particularly good that night/early morning. Radio isn't quite like this anymore. A lot has changed in 25 years.
@BorrisInABox Yeah, autumn tropo can be fruitful. I wish I had such early recordings. Unfortunately I threw away most of my tapes 15 years ago...
@marvellousmachine As I recall, I was using a boombox with a broken antenna in a basement bedroom. Good times. I lost a lot of interesting stuff that was on cassette, but I digitized everything I could find a few years ago.
@BorrisInABox Boombox and broken antennas, that rings a bell. 
@BorrisInABox Also have you experienced mechanical tuning knobs? I used to break them during a sporadic E season. Made my dad quite upset. :)
@marvellousmachine Oh, of course. I don't think I had a radio that tuned digitally for the first maybe 13 or so years of my life.
