From the late Tom Konard's Aircheck Factory -

Don Slade on a Thursday morning in late May 1977 on Calgary's 810 CHQR. RadioWest member, Vern Koop, has the news and the first Calgary Flames radio play-by-play voice, Bart Dailey, reports the sports -

Tom Konard died in August 2021. He assembled an incredible collection of radio airchecks, commercials and jingles.

Konard started out in the mailroom of a Detroit radio station eventually moving to the station's music and public service departments. He began saving airchecks and his collection grew even more as he began mailing blank tapes to engineers around north America asking them to record airchecks of their respective station(s). Leading to Tom's "Around The Dial” service which ran from October 1976 and ended in 1989.

He was a longtime employee of WCFL Chicago, moving to rural Wisconsin in 1981 and in 2006, he retired to Belgium.

We thank Tom for all of his work to preserve radio history.
