Moon Bounce Radio Archives

Scientifically speaking, Radio Frequency waves (or RF) generated on earth have been
known to travel through large holes in the earth's ionosphere, beaming endlessly into
deep space. Scientists have confirmed that these radio waves can take up to 10 or more
years to reach a far off planet or cosmic object located directly in it's path, causing these
stray radio signals to bounce or reflect back in the direction of earth. The entire process
can actually take up to 20 years or more. Experts agree, the content within these
received signals are extremely rare, truly fascinating and worth the wait.

Appropriately named: "Moon Bounce", this electrostatic phenomenon is common to
Amateur Radio Operators (Hams), and was the featured storyline in the Hollywood
motion picture: Frequency, starring Dennis Quaid, Andre Braugher and James Caviezel.

Hams, DX enthusiasts and prominent scientists around the globe all agree, near perfect
atmospheric conditions must first be met in order to receive these rare and exciting reflected
radio waves. Equipment must never be compromised! You'll always need a portable radio and
a tape recorder with blank tapes, considered vital to successfully capture these incredible events.

Located high atop the official Moon Bounce Observatories, our brave scientists painstakingly
adjust the hyper-diabolic space wave collector device mechanism's), in preparation for an
immediate returned signal bounce!
(Note: People who suffer from nose bleeds or sudden hemorrhoid attacks should not try this at home.)

After decades of experimentation, our staff of highly trained engineers have achieved direct links
with several reflected radio wave sources from outer space, and have presented WackRadio.com
with a complete audio archive containing radio broadcasts which (trust us) traveled through space,
bounced off a cosmic object and returned back to earth.

Of course, I don't think it's necessary to say that in all cases, our scientists and engineers
didn't exactly plan it that way, it just sort of happened to them. Really! We kid you not!

You will need Real Audio® and Windows Media Player®
to hear these absolutely incredible audio files!

WOLFMAN JACK ON 66 WNBC (MP3)
Signal # 1 is a combination of 2 radio broadcasts of Wolfman Jack. Part 1 is from the summer of 1973, which leads into a show from early spring in 1974 . Unknown to the listening audience, Jack traveled every other day between California and New York City to do his radio shows. Several of Wolfman's programs were aired live from 30 Rock, while others were pre-taped for a later broadcast that week. This audio file is the Wolfman broadcasting live from the 30 Rock studios (located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza) and believed to be a couple of his rarest programs.

FRANK ZAPPA ON WPIX 102 (Real Audio®)
Nothing can be more bizarre than having FRANK ZAPPA as a Guest DJ. Frank, along with several of his band members, were invited to the WPIX studios in New York City to play "Disc Jockey". Check out Frank as he does most of the station's PSA's live. Plus, the music was, obviously Frank's choice too! A special thanks for contacting our moon-bounce public relations department goes to Loretta Vosk, who worked for WPIX 102 back in November of 1979! Loretta engineered the audio console for Frank, plus received a gigantic "Bear Hug" from him for doing such a great job! Enjoy listening to this rare and exclusive moon bounce presentation!

Paul Sherman On WINS 1010 (MP3)
A truly rare and remarkable Moon Bounce file! This show dates back to a time when WINS featured Big Bands and Standards, long before it was a Top 40 giant. The program was called 'Reserved For Gilbert' and is hosted by Paul Sherman, better known in the radio community as "The Crown Prince Of Rock & Roll". Paul was also credited for being Alan Freed's personal choice for fill in. This program was sponsored by the Gilbert Hosiery Company in New York City, which aired 2 continuous hours of the finest big band recordings from the 30's. Featured artists include Benny Goodman, Peggy Lee, Tommy Dorsey, The Pied Pipers, Ella Fitzgerald and much more!

Dan Ingram On 77 Music Radio WABC 1971 (Real Audio®)
This rare moon bounce was actually captured by one of our very own scientists Johnny Handle! This is an astonishing moon bounce which oscillated uncontrollably from the cooling coils under Johnny's refrigerator, which reflected directly into his blender, resulting in the capture of this fine example radio megalomania from yesterday! This is Big Dan Ingram on MusicRadio 77 WABC in New York, and is an audio clip of the first hour of Dan's show, which was sent to keep our troops overseas entertained, as well as help make them feel at home!

Dan Ingram On 77 Music Radio WABC 1982 (Real Audio®)
This moon bounce was captured by a WackRadio groupie, who requested to remain anonymous. Make no mistake about it, this is Big Dan Ingram on Music Radio 77 WABC in New York circa 1982. Interesting to compare the previous Ingram file with this one of Dan 11 years later on the same station! Included in this nice little audio capture is Rick James doing the 5PM WABC news update. Enjoy!
