Welcome to Bob Gilmore's Radio & Airchecks

Home Page!

When radio was fun to listen to back in the day. The good old days of radio when I was growing up! It's here where you will see the listings of stations I have recorded and traded over the years.

My favorite radio listening years is the late 60's through the late 80's. The Oldies and Top-40 radio stations are my favorites. Thank goodness there were people recording the radio back in the 60's when I was too young to own a tape recorder. In the 1970's, I started airchecking and have continued since, and have been trading airchecks since 1998. It's a lot of fun. I have found that smaller trades are more fun than large ones. It's better because there's real quality time to listen to them and still have time for dubbing.

I grew up in the 60's, and started working in radio in 1976. My first commercial job in radio was at 1450 WNAB in Bridgeport, CT. Over the years I worked at several stations. My last two on the list are WEBE 108 in Connecticut and CJMQ in Sherbrooke, Québec. Amateur Radio is another hobby for me. My call sign is WD1M. I'm not too active on the bands these days but used to do this night and day back when I had more time. In 1990 I served as President for the Fairfield Amateur Radio Association (FARA) in Connecticut.

Aircheck collecting is lots of fun and not too costly. Now hard drive space is quite affordable and you can store them that way as well as CD's or tapes like I have. it's a great way to bring back some memories of the past. Start digging in those attics and basements for those old tapes! If you find some decent Top-40 radio in decent shape and not edited, let me know, I may be interested! Here's My Want List. I'm only trading for high quality recordings at this point. No large trades. I have very little time to do them.

Note: My trading time is limited! I'm looking for airchecks on my want list, high quality recordings and must be unscoped.

About My Lists

My lists have as much available information on each tape as I can get. I have been adding DJ's names, format and quality. This will help all of us in making decisions on a particular aircheck. Nobody wants to get a poor quality, one channel, hiss aircheck tape. If I get one of these, I try my best to re-master it. Then I may be able to upgrade the quality. A few airchecks have been so bad I never bothered to list them. There are a few poor quality tapes listed, but they are marked. If a date isn’t listed, It may have one in the future. If you see "TBD" on an aircheck listing, this means "to Be Determined" under that particular column. This past year I have made great progress getting names and dates to go with the airchecks.

Sometimes a DJ’s name will be spelled wrong. This can happen when I take a stab at the spelling, or if it were pronounced poorly by the DJ. If you see any, and know the correct spelling, let me know so I can update the file.

All airchecks that have a " * " listed near the tape number, means it's not the original master.
