Description by Gary Allyn
This partially-scoped aircheck is also partially reconstructed. For this online exhibit, portions of incomplete musical performances from the supplied aircheck were replaced with complete versions (from licensed sources.)
Pat Michaels reports on the upcoming flight of Gemini VI-a, placing the date of this aircheck as December 14, 1965.

I made this aircheck 37 years ago (the week of December 12, 1965) at KCBQ, San Diego. It’s mostly music, and includes a couple of Christmas songs and our regular Top 40 hits from 1965 as well.
You’ll like some of the commercials, and there are references to Johnny Solo,
Jim Mitchell, and Tom Murphy, all on the KCBQ staff at the time.
Notice too, the reverb on the entire audio chain. Lovely.
