Myke Weiskopf, radio producer and owner of the Shortwavemusic blog (and onetime head of the International Time Signal DXers Association) has been working on and off for years on an encyclopedic audio CD covering the history of WWV and WWVH from the 1950s to the present day. Myke sent out the email at the end of this message today; it sounds like it's finally being finished up.
There's a blog post with an audio excerpt here: http://dodgeblog.nfshost.com/wordpress/?p=421 And another blog post with an image of the disc: http://dodgeblog.nfshost.com/wordpress/?p=435 The project's original website: http://www.mykeweiskopf.com/ATT-Temp.htm The Paypal link on the second page doesn't seem to be setup properly, but you can log in to Paypal and send money directly to his email address, starsonesp {at}} gmail dot com. Feel free to redistribute this wherever it may be relevant. ABOUT THE PROJECT At The Tone is the first comprehensive audio survey of NIST Radio Stations WWV and WWVH: two legendary shortwave radio broadcasters whose primary purpose is the dissemination of scientifically precise time and frequency. Comprised of a 74-minute audio CD and a 32-page, full-color booklet, the set represents a huge cross-section of the stations' "life and times," including recordings of obsolete formats, original voices and identifications, special announcements, format changes, "leap seconds," and other aural oddities from 1958 to 2005. Presented by sound-artist and shortwave auteur Myke Weiskopf, At The Tone is alternately strange and mundane, monotonous and compelling, erudite and obscure. Recommended for fans of The Conet Project, The Ghost Orchid, and other radio-related ephemera. -------------------------------------------- Hello my friends. It's been 17 years. Are you ready? I’m pressing up 100 copies of At The Tone to be sold as a special limited-edition, hand-numbered Fundraising Edition in order to raise the necessary cash to get this thing finished. Your $20 gets you the CD itself, a printout of the liner notes, and a guarantee for one complimentary copy of the final retail edition and a 25% discount on additional retail copies (maximum five). I need to raise a total of $2,500 to finish the project. The Fundraising Editions will ship on Friday, November 27. Additional donations are, of course, always welcome. Donations of $50 or above will get an acknowledgment in the liner notes and additional free copies of the final edition. To get your copy, send $20 to my address via PayPal. If you are eager to hear the final product TODAY, the same amount of money will get you a ZIP file of the raw, CD-quality audio files (about 700MB) to download along with a PDF of the liner notes in text form. Fire away!
