Mic → pre/comp → light tape sat → EQ notch for sibilance → limiter at -1.0 dBFS

Shortwave, FM, and VHF identifiers are used as in-world waypoints to ground the fiction. They do not indicate real-world transmissions.
You're not alone. Keep warm, keep notes, keep a spare set of batteries.
Host: Aradia
Aradia is the operator and voice of KNF-7, a vintage-coded bunker broadcast from Sector 9. She writes, records, and mixes each transmission—civil defense cadence, humane center. The music bed leans 1940s–1950s. The goal is simple: keep the line clear and the listener company.
