IwillchooseFreeWill Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sightseeing (I'm currently in love with Utah but there's a lot more of the West I'd like to see)Which parts have you seen? Salt Lake City south to Kanab, the major parks (Zion and Bryce Canyon), and lots of "I wonder where this road goes" in central and southern. Been as far east as Escalante but haven't made it to Moab yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all beautiful and as soon as I can sightsee without sitting in a car, I'll be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I was REALLY Into collecting "airchecks" for a while. "Aircheck" is an industry term for radio broadcasts. Got 'em from different parts of the US, but mostly NY and LA, from the 60s through the 80s. And a few on either side of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's within ten miles of pine forests, sandstone desert, and Moqui villages. Moab is also a must see.

No... actually this is standard FM/AM stations... Lots of old Top 40 and rock (including the time when rock radio was more "free/Progressive" and wasn't necesarily tied down to a limited playlist). I am guessing that most people taped these onto cassettes or Reel-to-reel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool hobby, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool hobby, though! yeah! it's fun! I have at least one Donahue, as there was one released as a CD called "The Golden Age of Underground Radio". It's a wonderful mix of his voice, songs, and ads :) WRT their legitimacy, I know I said above that people taped them off the radio themselves... but some of these definitely were from DJs personal archives too. I guess saving one of your own "airchecks" would be an aural resume for getting hired at another radio station...

I am guessing that most people taped these onto cassettes or Reel-to-reel.I didn't know that was a hobby. In South America back in the 80's, people made recordings of songs on the radio and sold them on the street so radio stations would give their identity in the middle of songs. It was sort of funny to me but I would love to hear one today. There was this station called San Sebastian and I can still hear "San Sebastion" in my head being announced in the middle of "Money for Nothing".

I believe I have that Underground Radio release, too. :cheers: I have an old broadcast or two of my own, too- from a loooong time ago. I never used them to try to get a job, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
