As usual, the post from Tony contains lots of information, and correct!
Nope Tony, you did not spell the name of the program wrong, its name was
"Hobbyscoop". I remember that my late father used a C=64 and recorded
Basicode from IIRC the station called "Radio 5". He taped it on cassette,
and it worked just fine. This was in the 1983-1985 time frame.

I can't
believe noone has mentioned this yet, but I have heard that
during
the (early?) 80's a Radio station did play computer programs for people
to record off the radio.
Indeed.
No, I don't know which radio station this was, nor do I have any evidence
other than heresay.
It's certainly correct, I remember recording and using some of those
programs.
[... snip lots of good info ...]
