I have uploaded a copy of my 1976 WAPE ("Brennan" transmitter) recording, scoped down to about 40 minutes, to my website. To keep traffic low, (it's a 28MB MP3 file) I'll give a direct link only to those who specifically ask for it. 

Please send me an email request if you're interested in downloading it. It really is an amazing sound.

Kind Regards,
David Reaves
