Looking for The Voice of Laryngitis archives
« on: December 21, 2024, 0625 UTC »
I remember streaming VoL mp3s years ago and (falsely) assuming that those mp3s would be around forever.

I also remember listening to the best damn radio station I had ever heard with a Panasonic RF-2600 shortwave radio using damn expensive C or D batteries connected to this crazy huge steel cable used as fencing in my area. I remember very clearly the President Barney show so that must have been October / November 1984?

Are there any archives of that site? Or would any kind soul share with me their VoL (and other pirates from that era) archives?

If you type Voice of Laryngitis in the SEARCH query for this site, you will get several hits for past postings.  Under the postings are some recordings of past broadcasts.  Here's one:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,123234.msg381998.html#msg381998
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)
qsl please to:  jamcanner@comcast.net  (Thank you)

Thanks Ct Yankee. I've listened to the archives here and on archive.org, was just hoping that someone had a zip someplace of all of the original mp3s from the laryngitis.org site. If there are any VoL primaries around, I'd volunteer to host the old site and maintain it, just so that the whole world could continue to hear the best damn radio station they'll ever hear if they want.

As an aside, I had at least 3 QSLs from VoL at some point but pretty sure they got lost in one of the many moves. I have recently seen the tape that VoL dubbed two shows on for me with an intro from Genghis (in one channel only due to the complexity of having to set up the mixer) and the sound of Stan typing new QSLs in the background.
