OBSCURE-DISK Presents AT THE TONE: A Little History of NIST Radio Stations WWV & WWVH: At The Tone is the first comprehensive audio survey of NIST Radio Stations WWV and WWVH: two legendary shortwave radio broadcasters whose primary purpose is the dissemination of scientifically precise time and frequency. Comprised of a 74-minute audio CD and a 32-page, full-color booklet, the set represents a huge cross-section of the stations' "life and times," including recordings of obsolete formats, original voices and identification s, special announcements, format changes, "leap seconds," and other aural oddities from 1958 to 2005. Presented by sound-artist and shortwave auteur Myke Weiskopf, At The Tone is alternately strange and mundane, monotonous and compelling, erudite and obscure. Recommended for fans of The Conet Project, The Ghost Orchid, and other radio-related ephemera.
