  • KLSY August 16, 1996

    Throughout most of my early remembered life, I always thought KLSY was the better of the two Adult Contemporary stations in Seattle, though I wouldn’t learn that term until I started following the radio industry in 2008. By that time, 92.5 had been Rhythmic AC for over two years. Today, I can’t find a station…

  • WWKA February 23, 2017

    When I got a CC Witness+ for Christmas in 2016, I figured I’d be doing a lot more recording with it than I have so far. I had actually asked for it the year before, but it wasn’t available. This was its first real test, as I asked my parents to take it on their…

  • KGON April 7, 2014

    The first aircheck I post here is one I recorded in 2014. At the time, I was very much obsessed with a site called Global Tuners, which allows users to remotely control radios from other parts of the country. At the time, there was a tuner in Eugene, which I used a lot to record…
