There are bound to be some folks out there who have possession of vintage on-the-air recordings from the 60', 70' and 80's, maybe even earlier. I know at one time Otis (K5SWK) had many, and some dating back into the 50's. If these exist, they should not be allowed to deteriorate or be overwritten before first getting them on digital for preservation, either on the web or CD/DVD.
I propose that if you know of any such recordings, we somehow get these copied. I would be willing to do some of them myself. Any other takers? It would be nice to have such a nostalgic and historic resource for QSOs forgotten placed on a website or available on CD. Gary at amfone.net might be willing to utilize space for such media, or I would be willing to dedicate webspace for the project...gigs if needed. Let's get together on this and try to gather what we can for now and the future! Anyone have contact with Otis lately? John/BXO? I know he used to mention on the air that he had quite a library of tapes, however that has been a long time ago. I have also posted a message similar to this on amfone.net...
