Question for Collectors with BIG Collections

These days, if you can stay on a station for more than a book,
you can be considered "heritage".....

[Steven Green]

It is amazing how my aircheck collection has grown.  It just grows by itself, so it seems.  I don't have to do anything.

Once I found a cassette tape of some station in Windsor, Ontario recorded in 1988. I found the tape when cleaning out an apartment here in Austin. The station was below 92FM and played Progressive Rock.  

That is about the strangest tape I ever found.


  I've had one lucky find of about 6 or 7 91X (XETRA

Perhaps it is 88.7, whatever 89X was before it was 89X

Peppertree, I think you sent me that in one of our trades...i'd have to go look for the tape, but I'm pretty sure that's one you sent me, and if I'm not mistaken, it was for some of the 91X tapes I have...

That sounds intriguing. I think I'll try to get that one next time.

Like most everyone here, I started out recording tapes myself.  The internet helped me connect with other collectors.  I don't trade often anymore...I would estimate I have a few hundred tapes and CDs (many duplicate copies of the same aircheck on tape and CD).

I don't know how many airchecks I have.
I can guess and say that between the cd's I recorded for myself, and the cd's I got from  you guys, i have about 220 or so?
The cassettes are in a bag, and I have yet to organize those, I have no idea how many cassettes I have.
I also do not have a  limit on trades. I've sent out from two to 12 cassettes on a trade, and from like two to 20 cd's.
(These all Audio cd's, not mp3.)
Everyone I've traded with thus far is honest and good.
John

You are correct, I did send it to you.  And it was A-OK in every way.  Audio etc.
