Sheila and Jim Cox do their radio announcements over the C.B as weather report for Slabs, call-in announcements from listeners regarding different items for sale and CU of her notes are all seen on this tape. (This tape ties in well with the audio cassette tapes of Sheila’s radio program. Here, however, the audio quality is much stronger since it is being recorded on ¾” tape.) Sheila’s use of C.B. handles nicknames while on the air speaking to the different Slabbers is interesting—a strong tape.
