Welcome to Joe's Radio Air Check Page!

This page contains downloadable MP3 files for over 370 air checks I collected over a period of about 20 years. Most of the air checks I have were made from the Springfield MA area (airchecks I have posted here are from the northeast US). Many are ones from "direct" reception and there are also a number obtained during skip conditions. Most of my air checks are from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, with the exception of those from Kiss 95.7. I worked at that station from 1989-1996 and I have possibly the largest collection of Kiss 95.7 air checks that exists today (over one hundred 60 and 90 minute tapes). My earliest DX activities started in 1971, with a peak in the late 70s and early 80s. I did not get a tape recorder until 1974 so that is the year of my earliest air checks (and the quality of those is marginal due to the equipment I had at the time). During the peak of my activity I had two good tuners (a Nikko NT-850 and a Heathkit AJ-15), and four FM antennas (a five element yagi, two 10 element yagis [each on their own mast and rotor], and an omni). Basically each tuner had a 10 element yagi and one also had the FM omni (the five element yagi I had from March - June 1978, the 10 element yagi replaced it). I am not currently active in DX or air check activity today. I now live in a valley making reception (even with a yagi) marginal and today the FM dial is so crowded as compared to 25 years ago that it is difficult to find a clear channel to DX. In any event, the air checks I do have represent a good sampling of stations from the east coast. There are many air check web sites on the web, my site is meant to complement those sites and add to the on-line collection of air checks that exists today!

If you are curious…

As to some of my equipment and history in audio please take a look at this other page I have: A 1970's Teenager's Bedroom. You might also like my Channel Master 4251 Tribute Page (a page that has photos of FM antennas as well as the legendary Parabolic UHF 4251).

What exactly is an "Air Check"?

For those not familiar with the term, an "air check" is a recording of a radio "break". A break is basically when the DJ talks or a station ID runs. DJs often make air check tapes to listen to so they can go back and see how they sound, how they might improve, etc. A normal air check recording will include a short bit of music before the DJ starts talking, then the talking, and then a short segment of the music (or commercial) that starts after the talking is done.

Audio File Format for Air Checks

All of the air checks on my site are in mp3 format. The bit rate will depend on the quality of the cut, but will typically be between 96 and 256 kbps (more recently digitized ones are coded at 256kbps). These files should be compatible with virtually any iPod / mp3 player and multimedia software package available today. Some early recordings (mid 1970s) are not very good quality as all I had for recording equipment was a portable cassette recorder (and many of these were made via microphone with background noise in the room). Later air checks were made on high quality recorders (such as the TEAC A-650 cassette and TEAC A-2340 Reel to Reel recorders). Many of the air checks below are from stations that no longer exist.... enjoy!

Update February 2021:

Some great new airchecks from Gerry “Moon” Audette who used to work at 92 Pro FM in Providence! Airchecks from 1977, 1980, and 1981.

Air Checks!

The air checks below are arranged alphabetically by station call letters (“K” stations, unidentified, and miscellaneous stations are at the very bottom). Where known I will provide the date and time of the air check and the DJ, station location, etc. Click on the links and the audio should automatically download and play in whatever media player you have installed on your machine. To save them to your hard drive, do a “right click” on them and pick “Save Target As”. Enjoy!

WCAU, FM 98.1, Philadelphia, PA (a "Hot Hits" format station)

For those who loved the "Hot Hits" format, the clips below will be a treat. All of the breaks below were recorded during a period of good skip (Philly was about 220 miles from where I was recording from in Western MA and WCAU was not a station I could normally receive). All of these cuts are from the morning of 8 May 1982 (Saturday AM). Lots of snippets of early 80s super classic hits in these also!

WCGY, FM 93.7, Lawrence, MA

WCGY was one of my favorite stations during the late 1970s. There was another station in Hartford CT on the same frequency, so even with a Yagi antenna I could only get WCGY clearly after the Hartford station signed off at midnight (Hartford was 30 miles, Lawrence about 70 miles, Hartford was a clear shot, had hills between me and Lawrence). Nearly all of these air checks are from early morning hours. I would set my reel to reel recorder to record from around 1am – 4am, and then the next day I’d go through the material looking for songs I wanted. Most of the air checks got lost, however some did survive (when two good songs were back to back).

1. Stephanie Mason break The very sexy voice of Stephanie Mason doing overnights, recorded early 1981.

WCTO, FM 94.3, Smithtown Long Island NY

These receptions were received in the spring of 1983 from Groton CT. Reception is not great as I lived in an apartment at the time (ground floor). I had a 10 element yagi but it was INSIDE the apartment in the living room. Better than a dipole for sure but nothing like having it out on the roof! In any case, these air checks represent a part of the now defunct "Beautiful Music" era.

Here’s a batch of Tony Marino air checks. The fact that I had this tape makes me 99% sure that I was board tech when this remote broadcast was taking place. The tape was not dated but it is likely from 1993 or so.

Kiss Club Air Checks!

Below are air checks from the Kiss Club. The Kiss Club was a broadcast that originated from various nightclubs around the Hartford/New Haven area. Chris Walsh and a host (any one of a number of the Kiss 95.7 DJs) would do the show from the club; the audio was sent to the station's mixing board via special phone lines. A board tech at the station (often me) would add sweepers, play spots, take phone calls, etc. The Kiss Club started out as a Saturday night show, but then expanded to also include Friday nights as well. It aired from 9pm - 1am. Below are the air checks that I have available to date. I have a large number (over 100) tapes of Kiss Club air checks so it will take some time to digitize and upload all of them. Files below are arranged in date order. Note: Kiss Club air checks are BIG files, they will be painfully slow to download if you do not have a high speed connection!

1. Kiss Club at Rockwells in Rocky Hill, 01 September 1989. Hear an early Robin King Kiss Club! Also hear Chris and Robin talking about Chris' new show "Kiss Club Classics"! Mike Jamrock is the board tech. (13 MB mp3 file, coded at 128mbps, length: 4:47)

2. The intro hour prior to the Kiss Club at Katies Nightclub in Enfield, CT, 01 June 1990. Hear lots of old Kiss 95.7 classic jingles, sweepers and shouts! Remember the "Dollar Bill Game"? Robin King was actually on her way to the Kiss Club during this hour of the show. Robin pre-taped the voice cuts (on a cart) and the hour was actually run by a board tech (fairly often the board tech was Joe Roberts). People used to ask "How does Robin get down to the club so fast?" Apparently they never knew about the taped breaks. (5.2 MB mp3 file, coded at 128mbps, length: 5:37)

Here is one of my earliest taped air checks (recorded on 24 June 1978). These were received from nearly 1000 miles away using a Heathkit AJ-15 tuner and a 10 element Yagi antenna. They were taped on a TEAC A2340 4 track reel to reel machine.

1. Top of the Hour with Dave Keenan.

I only have one air check for this 10 watt station...

1. WNOR talk out of Bryan Adams...

WJMI "J100" FM, Jackson MS, 24 June 1978

Here are some of my earliest taped air checks (recorded on 24 June 1978 from Wilbraham MA). These were received from nearly 1000 miles away using a Heathkit AJ-15 tuner and a 10 element Yagi antenna. They were taped on a TEAC A2340 4 track reel to reel machine. I got the following e-mail regarding this entry (I originally had it listed as “K100”):

WOKJ was an AM black station on 1550 beginning in the 50s. WJMI was their FM at 99.7 (J-100) which began in 1973. They did not simulcast, as one skewed to an older audience and one to a younger one. However, they did joint promos, and you heard one on the aircheck refer to "WOKJ WJMI" ... but the jingles say J 100, not K 100. No such thing as K 100 in Jackson Miss.

How do I know? I was in ownership and management of WKXI 94.7 FM, a direct competitor of the two aforementioned, throughout the 70s.

The aircheck should be correctly titled WJMI J-100 Jackson Miss.

I can tell from listening to the aircheck, and hearing the interference from an adjacent channel station, that this came from an FM signal (not to mention the J 100 jingle). WOKJ had a wretched AM signal, on 1550, with high power but highly (6 tower) directional. One of the worst audio quality signals I ever heard. --JAB

1. J100 cut #1 24 June 1978

2. J100 cut #2 24 June 1978

WORJ, Mount Dora FL, 24 June 1978

1. WORJ talk into a song 24 June 1978.

WPJB, “JB-105”, Providence RI

I used to listen to JB-105 fairly often using my 10 element Yagi but unfortunately I have very few surviving recordings....

1. JB-105 Air Check summer 1980 [Added January 2012].

2. JB-105 Air Check 06 Dec 1981 A giant snowstorm today, Mickey O is anxious to go home (waiting for Jonny Dowd to arrive)! [Added February 2012].

WQMV, Vicksburg MS, May 1979

A short recording made from 1000+ miles away from the station!

1. WQMV FM Stereo in Vicksburg...

WRAQ, Wilbraham, MA, 108 FM, 27-28 November 1980

WRAQ was a “pirate” station broadcasting from my home town. Power level was not very high, probably only a few watts, as it required a 10 element Yagi to pick it up clearly from only about 2 miles away. The sound quality is not so great, however the presentation (considering these were high school kids) was actually pretty decent.

1. WRAQ aircheck #1, 27 November 1980

1. WSHR break out of spots

WTIC, “96-TICS” and “96 WTIC-FM”, Hartford CT

Unknown Beautiful Music Station, 24 June 1978

Not sure where this station is from (probably south Florida), this was recorded when 1000+ mile skip was coming in. Received using a Heathkit AJ-15 tuner and a 10 element Yagi antenna. Recorded on a TEAC A-2340 4 track reel to reel machine.

Unknown Beautiful Music Station, 1983 or 84?

Unfortunately I have no info on this air check (other than that it was on a tape most likely recorded in 1983 or 84), I included it as it is part of a bygone era.

1. Theme from the motion picture "Living Free"

“FM 104” Summer 1980 (New Hampshire)

Don’t’ have good info for this air check, very likely from New Hampshire (I had a direct shot to NH from southern MA with my 10 element Yagi).
