A good DJ/Announcer makes periodic air-check recordings to see how he or she
sounds. A few of us actually saved some of these things, and (remembering
that we were just amateurs, please) we present a few here for nostalgic or
occasionally amusing moments! Unless otherwise noted, these are AM
campus-only airchecks, NOT FM!
