Line Up and Wait
I was wandering around my archives and came across what I think is a fascinating audio. It's a 30-minute-long recording of KOSH ATC from August 1, 1974, starting at the conclusion of the airshow. The traffic was out-of-hand and the controller, on the fly, split the frequencies between runways (I think for the first time...it's an old memory!...he used ground (121.9) for the 2nd freq) and established the gravel pit as a reporting point. I was fortunate enough to be sitting near the runway intersection while all this was going on with a $15 aviation receiver in my hand, although it is not my recording. I think years ago I downloaded it from somewhere. I found it, and still find, listening to it amazing.
The file in question is an MP3 of 16.8 MB....and the 'Upload a File' option doesn't see it (guessing too big?). I think especially the old-timers might like this memory. How can we get it here? I don't do drop-box or whatever. Thanks!
