Is it similar to the sound from 16'45" to 17'30" in this recording?

BTW, nice to see that you turn off the stereo pilot tone while
broadcasting those mono pieces.
I agree that it's the right way to do it, but I don't deserve the
credit; those MP3 were generated from my backup AIFF files. To save
space, I only made them in stereo when the programme contained a stereo
item, and then it was used throughout the file, not item-by-item.
When those programmes were broadcast, they were posted to the station on
CDRs (which were always two-track) and I had no control over what
happened after that - except that I made it very clear that I would be
on the 'phone to them as soon as I heard the slightest trace of
automatic volume pumping. They were very good and kept the levels set
to a sensible setting.
(I had threatened to put line-up tones on the first track of each disc,
but they were afraid that Continuity would not recognise them and would
accidentally broadcast them as part of the programme)
Sort of opposite problem that the Beeb had one Nov 11th when they tried
to broadcast the minute's silence and most of their transmitters dropped
into auto fill-in music.
One Nov 11th I was driving somewhere and happened to switch on the car
radio in the middle of the one-minute's silence. I didn't remember what
day it was, so I was puzzled by the sounds of an open mic being
broadcast.
After a few seconds I started winding up the gain, trying to hear if
there was anything that would give me a clue about what was happening.
I had just reached maximum gain when the end of the silence was marked
by a cannon shot....
