In the 1960s, WJR signed off for several hours early on a Monday morning
about once a month for maintenance of the main transmitter (a CE 317).
When the maintenance was complete, we signed back on and broadcast about an
hour of test audio from a good Ampex tape deck at the tx site, with minimal
audio processing.
Some of that audio consisted of recordings of pipe organs, which generated a
fairly large number of write-in responses from listeners in most of the U.S.
and Canada -- many of which commented on the high quality of the received
audio.
And that took place a long time before "The Digital Age."
