The Space Age Radio 6960 USB 0108 UTC 31 August 2025
« on: August 31, 2025, 0108 UTC »
0108: music, ? vibraphone music ?, maybe an IS
0109: OM: "The Age of Reliability, The Space Age", repeated, "Boss Tres Bien" - Quartette Tres Bien
0113: OM: "The Age of Reliability, The Space Age"; "Penny Lane" - The Electronic Concept Orchestra
0116: OM talking about age of reliability and performance, new methods, new machines, ..., people repeating numbers in EE and SS
0118: YL introducing "new" Fleetwood Mac song "Go Your Own Way", then turntable varying in speed (slow, fast, all over the place), restarting playback several times; so much for space age reliability

Thank you for the very nice music!
