WHTQ-FM 96.5 Orlando FL Sweeper 1991

There’s nothing fancy here.  Just one of the sweepers used by Q96FM towards the end of 1991.  At this time, the battle was pretty fierce between the Q and WDIZ “Rock 100.”  Eventually, WJRR-101.1 entered the Rock battle under Bud Paxson’s ownership and it became a three way race.  In the end, WDIZ dropped out and Q96FM flipped to Classic Rock.

This aircheck was recorded from my location, 6 miles south of Ocala.  I used a Realistic AM/FM/CD/Cassette portable stereo and Sony LN90 tape.  Also in my arsenal: a medium sized outdoor TV antenna with the VHF-LO elements cut to resonance for FM frequencies.
