Yesterday 22 Nov 2017 was the 30th anniversary of the infamous "Max Headroom" hack of both WGN-TV channel 9 and WTTW channel 11. On the 10 o'clock news on WGN-TV they ran a story of the event. They showed off-air tapes from both stations. Back then CH9 was able to quickly change microwave frequencies between their north side studios to their downtown Chicago transmitter and the sports guy who was on at time said he didn't know what that was then kept going. 2 hours later during Dr Who, CH11 got hacked for 2 minutes and this time there was sound. CH11 was not able to switch microwave freqs in 1987 and had to endure a full 2 minutes of Max Headroom, including Max getting spanked by a female on his bare butt with a fly swatter. I recorded last nights story on DVD.

Tuned in at 2155utc, fair to poor sig with some QRM, at 2206 played an audio clip from the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall(?) where he has a flashback to primary school when he kissed a female classmate who yells "eew he kissed me, he kissed me, eew" and the teacher reprimands him (I have that movie on laserdisc). R8 & dipole. (edit) variety of rock music most of which I never heard before. Apparently off at 2252utc.

Testing 1 2 3 can anybody hear me several times, fair sig but with low noise, R-2000 & dipole.
ID, then big band or swing tune from 1940's. (edit) Seems to be program of tunes with the words "bye bye" or "good bye" in them.
(edit) Switched to the Drake R8 which has wider bandwidth available in SSB.
(edit) SSTV/FAX at 0152utc. New program started at 0154 of songs with the word "hello" in them.
(edit) SSTV/FAX at 0229utc.
