Our thanks to Walter Janaro for this excellent late-model recording of a great Top 40 station!

TOP STREAM 32Kbps (10KHz) Rick Hughes, 13Q WKTQ Pittsburgh PA March 4, 1977 (01:02:37) This Exhibit 'SCOPED (10:21) . . . dude's name is Walt, he says he's taping this here program tonight and he's going to mail it to Idi Amin . . . [Description by Uncle Ricky] Rick Hughes is working his last shift at WKTQ/13Q and sounds like he's having fun with drop-ins, headphone squeal and all. And this particular exhibit contains one of the greatest treats of all for the man who recorded it: The jock acknowledges him and his recording. We know Rick Hughes and his travelin' buddy Eric Chase (not the California jock) left for Houston, but what station? Some musical selections 'scoped in the original recording were restored for this presentation.
