WRPI: An Unofficial Page

If You Don't Know Where You've Been, How Do you Know Where You're Going?!?!

---

The responsability for this "page"s creation and contents thereof is mine, and mine alone. Other names, faces, and voices will be seen and heard but if you've got a complaint, critique, or even a bit of praise, take it to me, not to them.

So who am I to do this? Well, blame it on Dennis Connors, Director of Studio Engineering, 1969. He and I journeyed through Grade and High school together, and we probably made the first steps twords"Friends of WRPI" existance today :)

Needless to say, Den was around the 15th Street Lounge Studios a lot. I, on the other hand, was more like a fly-on-the-wall, around intermittently, during what were arguably/probably WRPI's most spectacular years. Then Den and I swaped places: He graduated and I started working at RPI, and have so, for the last 25+ years. Throughout this time I've been in, out, and about the station.

You should find lots of neat stuff within, arranged in an order that makes some sense.

If you have the urge to have copies of what you see and, for whatever reason, can't get it over the 'Net, I'll be willing to make you a copy. You get to provide the media and postage.

As of this "typing", all the audio clips are from the archive tapes, played back on the Ampex, onto DAT. I don't have RealAudio or .wav capability, but if you do, and are willing to do the conversion, I'll send you a tape. As space is no object at this time, I'll copy your files and attribute you the good deed.

If you have tapes, photos or printed word you'd like to "submit" I'll take very good care of whatever and return it in a timely manner.
I can handle 1/4" tape: full, half or 1/4 track; 15, 7 1/2, & 3 3/4 ips. DAT, cassette; Dolby B & C, and VHS PCM &Hi-Fi and MiniDisk. Big files that won't go thru the 'Net?: Zip drive. Have scanner, will copy, etc.
