Dale Dorman; Steve Lundy, 610 KFRC San Francisco | December 24, 1967
This is our own custom scope from a recording provided by Matt @ BigAppleAirchecks. The whole thing runs just over four minutes out of 20 before I took out the music.

Danuta, 94.9 KBZT San Diego | Sometime 1980
I wanna remind you about K-Best 95’s series of Friday Night Stereo TV Concerts… 1980 was a year of change in the radio landscape. FM radio was overtaking AM in many markets and San Diego was no exception. Heard here, about a year after changing formats and call letters from a Middle Of the Road…
