\"\"<\/a>One of the joys of running the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>\u00a0(SRAA) is that, over time, more and more people have become aware of it and submit recordings they’ve had in their private collections for decades.<\/p>\n

Quite often, SRAA off-air recordings were originally made on reel-to-reel or cassette tapes which degrade with time. When SRAA contributors take\u00a0the time to digitize these recordings, and share them via the SRAA, they put these collections in the hands of hundreds of archivists. We’re grateful each time we receive one of these shortwave or mediumwave\/AM recordings.<\/p>\n

You can imagine my excitement when I received the following message from one of our newest contributors, Colin Anderton:<\/p>\n

“As a space flight nut, I have many recordings from the 1970s from Radio Moscow. They used to broadcast on the medium wave, and I used to record the news bulletins during some of the space flights. In particular, there was a period between December 1977 and March 1978 when Soviet cosmonauts first lived aboard the Salyut 6 space station. \u00a0I recorded each days’ news reports on the flights, and also some additional items about them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colin’s recordings are amazing. Here’s a sample<\/a>\u00a0from December 10, 1977:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/19771210SaturdaySoyuz26Launch1\/1977-12-10+Saturday+-+Soyuz+26+Launch+(1).mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

We’ve started publishing Colin’s recordings on the archive at regular intervals.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I discovered that\u00a0Colin also has a website dedicated to NASA highlight recordings<\/a>\u00a0from the space age. \u00a0Several months ago, he spent a considerable amount of time making the public domain series more listenable–removing voice-actuated recorder noises, tape clicks, etc.<\/p>\n

Colin has made his collection of re-engineered NASA recordings free to download on his website. If you download and enjoy his recordings, consider dropping him a donation. If you’re into spaceflight like I am, you’ll certainly enjoy this collection:<\/p>\n

Colin, once again, thanks so much for adding your off-air recordings to the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive!<\/p>\n

Indeed, thanks to the many<\/em> contributors who make the archive such a treasure trove of broadcast recordings! Click here to browse the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
