I enjoy reading old ham magazines.  As I read, I've often wondered how the 
bands sounded years ago.  I imagine the CW bands sounded much the same, except 
more crowded (like I remember the 40m novice band when I started in the mid 
70s), but what about the phone bands?   The other day I was reading about an 
island  DXpedition in the 50s that concentrated on phone.  The pileups must 
have 
been very interesting.  Many, many AM signals, lots of hetrodynes - all would 
have sounded a lot different from today.

Your suggestion to preserve, and make available online, samples of past ham 
activity is a really great idea!
