What makes this catch so nice is I wasn't even TRYING for it at all. My boombox has an "analog" thumb dial, and it's a little off. WGGH's 46 watts blasts out from 2 towers about 5 miles for where I was.... I had the casette tape going as I tuned across the dial so when I found 1150, I'd have it recording already.
I wasn't paying attention to the radio till I found WGGH that night. I was at the radio station today, putting that cassette tape onto the computer and when i re-wound it just because the WGGH piece, I listened real closely and said, "Wait? Did I just hear something?" It was totally unexepected. Paul Walker On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 1:24 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > *Hi Paul,* > > *I listened to it a half dozen times.
