An Aircheck of WALL From March 1979

I wish there were some airchecks available of WALL from it's TOP 40 glory days of the late 60s - early 70s: Dave Charity, Gene Pelc, Joe Ryan, Larry Michaels, Howard Hoffman, et al. I've been looking for some for years. I worked at WALL in the mid-70s (73-77) and don't even have any airchecks from that period, other than one newscast of myself from about 1976, a few months after the fire.
 
It is incredible how so few airchecks exist of so many radio stations over so many years with so many milliions of people living in the USA. Even the radios stations and the DJs don't have airchecks. I would think that DJs would record lots of their shows to show off their best work in demo reels to send to future employers at other radio stations.
 
Cassettes from 40 years ago really don't sound to good, assuming they survived the heat of the attic or the mold from the basement. I have a couple of air checks from small town USA, I was so green and so bad I would be embarassed making them public 35 years later. Thank god some of these stations were 10 watts at night! LOL
 
Few air-checks survive from the 60's at WALL. Lost forever is the Halloween broadcast of 1969 of "War of the Worlds". That show was preformed by the students of the radio club of OCCC.
