This week we feature Hank and Jim's 12th Anniversary Special from 1987. Looking back at 12 years of broadcasting, Hank and Jim play clips from past Underground Radio stations WCPR and WFAT as well as stories and memories of years gone by!

Hank and Jim's 12th Anniversary Special continues. In this segment, we hear an ancient WFAT call from Joe at The Controls, and the actual recording of the FCC bust of WFAT! The clips continue with highlights from post-bust stations WQXQ, WBUM and WGUT, plus some highlights from WHOT's early years! Middle Bill stops by to reminisce and more.

Thirty years ago is really when the legend all began. Hank and Jim signed on WFAT-AM as Hal Hall and Larry McRae for the first time on New Year’s Eve 1977 and the rest (as they say) is history. WFAT went on to become one of the most well-known US land-based pirates in radio history, and this is how is all began!

To mark the 30th anniversary, we’re happy to present almost the entire show as it originally aired. Part One takes us from sign-on to halfway through the program with only the tape’s original edits missing.

With the first night butterflies slowly departing, “Hal” and “Larry” continue to go wild on this aircheck of the very FIRST WFAT show. Sit back, relax, flip on the groovy blacklight and it’s almost like being there, thirty years ago!

This is the start of something big – and it’s all here right up until the tape ran out. At the end, we’ve tagged on several extra minutes from a tape supplied by a listener in Pennsylvania!
