00:38 Yaz - Don't Go

00:41 Mix Radio International ID 'Thanks for joining us'. Disco song where she has to find a man. Familiar but not fully. Typical of early 80s keyboard sound, Sylvester, Patrick Cowley.

00:44 Fine Young Cannibals I think, I call this song 'Gooseneck' because that's what I thought they were saying when I heard it back then, but it's Good Thing.

00:47 Broadcasting .. This is Mix, Into Captain Sensible's 'Wot' This sounds like a BBC chart show from 1981, or Rock Over London! Now I'm waiting for like, Toto Coelo, Spandau Ballet, Human League, OMD, Associates. I was on AM radio, playing all this stuff at the time.

01:15 'With the finest mix and the finest sound' ID I remember this tune, Don't Pay The Ferryman, from our local AOR station.

01:22 Blondie's Call Me

01:25 I know this voice, Jerry Knight? Sampling on the Fairlight?

Audio: Hobby Broadcast and Mix radio


Ha, I was going to get out of here in ten minutes to do something else, but the programming and good signal kept me locked in.

10 khz audio bandwidth, has a particular really strong audio compression that brings up every sound ,even hiss on the, tape? Transmitter op adjusted bandwidth downward during the broadcast for the voice audio apparently.

Audio is great, I think it could be this tight and loud but less strenuous to the ear, with some careful adjustment. Every beat or sibilance that has to recover is lost RF power in AM. No doubt it's tight, but jumpy, like listening to a Dolby C tape with no Dolby, or even DBX, compression release is super fast.

The initial impression is ultimate loudness, but that can be monotonic, I don't think I'd have lasted as long without the selective fades adding their flavor. Could some of it be the WEB-888? Can't complain, I'm compelled to listen, right? It's unique sound

Nice to hear something different, as there's not a lot of talk programming on the shortwave pirates, then the 80s 'New Romantic' British chart music was a winner.
