Watching the Hamburg satellite capture again on my VCR with the tracking cranked all the way up.

If you look at the lower third timecode on the broadcast feed, the studio audio meter doesn't drop to zero -- the 14.2 Hz sub-tone stays active.
Right at 02:14 in 'Memory Hatch', she stops singing completely and just stares directly into camera 2.

Did anyone in Hamburg actually attend in person? The hall looked completely empty except for camera crews.

Notice the date: June 8, 1985. That was exactly 14 months before the Meridian microwave link tests began at Ashford Poly.

Unsubscribe me from this list! (Wait, this is Usenet, never mind).

I remember watching this on our family's Radiant TV console. The picture tube hummed whenever Nova hit high notes.
