All:
I had an idea for an Easter Egg within the Altair32 Emulator. I
remember a story that you could run a certain program on the Altair and hold
an AM radio next to the Altair and you would hear music. IIRC, the song was
"Daisy" as was played in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Does anyone (1) have this program in source and/or binary and (2)
can someone make a high-quality WAV file of it for me (since I don't have an
Altair)?
This isn't a direct answer, but just the same ...
I recorded the sounds coming from an AM radio near my Sol while the game
TARG was playing. TARG's instructions also suggest doing this trick.
It is no coincidence since the author of TARG is the same guy who did
the trick at the now legendary meeting of the homebrew meeting -- steve
dompier (I know, others did it decades before him on even older machines).
You can listen to it yourself:

(the two are the same sounds, just in different formats)
