Not even the slightest hint of a carrier here at 1806Z.

Too bad, as I'd really love to hear this.

Looked at a few of these and these are really great. I started listening in 1988 and wish I would've had them back then. Would love to see the ones from 1988-1993.

(BTW: ACE03-93.pdf is really March 1995).

Thanks a ton for doing this.

In Sept 1993, they mention the old WRNO on 7355 & 7395, and 15420.
