Re: [IRCA] Carrier and a little audio from DU near DC

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Congratulations Bill.   It does have a a more DU 
English sound to it.   Unfortunately that is too 
early for my own recording, and suspect that it 
would have been ruled by JOUB at that time anyway.

It might be worth checking the ABC archive (as 
Chuck's been suggesting), at least to verify that 
there's talk on 3LO at that time.   Or, you could 
get up tomorrow morning, with the recorder 
running full bore...and if that fails, then poke 
around in the archives, looking for the one that hasn't quite gotten away yet.

best wishes,

Nick
