I can use trading CONTACTS from in or near various places, including but not limited to the markets listed below.

I can not over-emphasize the trading contacts part.  Seems that even the most intelligent radio-geek will still take this list to mean I either want a bad 10-year-old tape of a station from that market, or that I will consider someone who lives 45 miles away and can/will only tape just a few of the major FMs (and then only those they like) to be "in the market".

• Albuquerque-Santa Fe
• Austin, TX
• Chicago
• Denver-Boulder
• Detroit-Windsor
• El Paso-Ciudad Juarez
• Las Vegas
• Lawrence-Manhattan-Topeka
• Milwaukee
• Minneapolis-Saint Paul
• Monterey-Salinas-Santa Cruz
• Montréal
• New Orleans
• New York City
• Paducah/Murray, KY
• Philadelphia
• Phoenix
• Portland, OR
• Rochester, MN
• Saint Louis
• San Diego-Tijuana
• San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
• Seattle-Tacoma
• Toronto
• Vancouver, BC
• Washington, DC
• Wichita

Specialty programming I seek:

• country oldies
• K-Fat type county-bluegrass-folk-blues-humor mix
• 50s (inc. doo-wop)
• standards (including big band and swing)
• soft AC (the small-town/looooooong-playlist type only, or like any on the "old airchecks" list below)
• folk
• bluegrass
• comedy
• ez listening/"beautiful"
• lounge
• "Over the Edge" (KPFA, any syndicated, or any similar programs on other stations)
• jazz (and I don't mean the "smoothjazz", which is OK too but is NOT jazz!!)
• unlicensed, "pirate" stations

Old tapes I am looking for.  First, the stations, roughly in state or provincial order.  As in all cases, I would rather NOT receive edited/scoped tapes, except in very special circumstances...And then ONLY after my personal approval.  Stations listed in BOLD mean I have some, if all you want is an "even" swap
