The New Ham Band – Live at Cummington

The New Ham Band’s one-and-only live performance took place on July 21, 1979 at the NOBARC Hamfest (Northern Berkshire Amateur Radio Club ham radio festival) at the Cummington Fairgrounds in Cummington, Massachusetts.

The concert was recorded on a cassette tape, which held up surprisingly well for 46 years until it was transferred to digital format. I used a Klim K7 cassette player, which copies tapes onto an SD card. It produced one file per side, which I then seperated into individual tracks using Reaper DAW.
