> 
> Two very important historic programs are scheduled for broadcast on
> consecutive weekends in "Wavescan", the regular DX program from
> Adventist World Radio. One program features a 60 year old broadcast
> from an American radio station in New Zealand, and the other features
> what is believed to be the world's first off-air recording from an old
> wireless station in California, a recording that is more than 90 years
> old..
> Over in New Zealand, the noted radio historian, David Ricquish, was
> performing a spate of research in the sound archives of Radio New
> Zealand in the picturesque south island city of Christchurch, when he
> came across a very significant piece of old radio history. He had
> re-discovered the first, inaugural broadcast from the AFRS station 1ZM
> in Auckland in the north island.. Originally, station 1ZM was a
> privately owned commercial station that was subsequently taken over by
> the government and then loaned out to AFRS, the American Forces Radio
> Service, back in April 1944. The original recording from this station,
> that was one of the famed "Mosquito Network" stations, is thought to
> be the only example now in existence of an off air broadcast from an
> AFRS station in the Pacific. This original recording was presented as
> a major feature in the shortwave programming from Radio New Zealand
> International, and RNZI has made it available for worldwide usage in
> the AWR DX program, "Wavescan".
> One week later, listeners to "Wavescan" will be able to hear an
> off-air recording that is even older. Just recently, Glen Sage in
> Portland, Oregon, uploaded an old Morse Code recording onto his
> website. This website gives the content of the message which was
> transmitted in the old original version of the Morse-Vail Code. A
> further spate of research would seem to indicate that this recording.
> on a cyclinder covered with tin foil. was made off-air from a Morse
> Code broadcast that was transmitted from station TG in San Francisco
> shortly before 3 pm on Monday July 4, in the year 1910.
