This is correct. I don't know if the AFX competition winner was announced, but that competition was definitely running around the time of the NTS broadcasts if you signed up to the mailing list.

Some background on "The Other Stranger" from the artist Frank Brinkhuis:

"Completely forgotten about 'Strange'. It is actually a recording Hanjo/C. Stein and I did early 1984 at a time we were not sure what direction to go after Ende Shneafliet. Later that year Trumpett received a letter from ADN ...

Surely referring to the bleep ...

Too bad that reddit poster isn't active any more to ask him if he thinks that postpunk one sounds like Wheel Tower.

But I doubt it is, seems they would have been around 13 or 14 then. He says the Wheel Tower tape was more electronic than this also "somewhere between Nitzer Ebb and current era ...
