Where is everyone?

Yes. All is known. :)

Actually, I've been working my way through 1994. Most of
my tracks are from promo-only compilations like Hot Hits,
Spotlight On Hits, Promo Only, Hitmakers, or the TM
Century library. Most of those are digital clones of the
promo CD singles, which is good enough for me. RPM's Top
Hits USA discs used an analog intermediate step, until
about 1998, and the pre-1998 discs don't sound all that
great.

Bottom line: I found that I'm doing essentially no disc-
to-disc comparisons, and essentially no recreations of
edits. So not much to post about my end.

I'll visit the late '70s once I finish off the '90s.

AM carrier current, I hope?

I got my very first broadcasting experience at a carrier-
current station. I was 10. It was the summer of 1979.
I totally rocked at Deer Mountain Day Camp's carrier-
current station, WDMC, in Rockland County, New York.

They had two Technics turntables (not 1200s but they had
the strobe lights), and a silver Numark DJ mixer (with a
talkover switch that abruptly dropped the music level).
I don't remember what mikes they used.

There was a very modest piles of LPs in the "studio"
(just a cabin). I remember ELO's "Out Of The Blue", but
not much else. No 45s. Certainly no promo stuff. They
probably belonged to one of the counselors.

When the end of summer rolled around and the counselors
gave us kids little certificates in our areas of
excellence, mine was in the field of "Radio". In
hindsight, not surprising. But I now have written proof
that I've been on the air in five decades!

About three years ago, I got to visit Deer Mountain Day
Camp in the off-season. Their radio cabin is still
there! Through the window, I could see a mike, two or
three CDs players, and a cheapie DJ mixer. Let's hope
that they're continuing to inspire kids, 35 years later.

Yes, I'm here, though over the weekend my computer crashed (and this is the first time that I've reported that on ANY part of the internet,,.,)
