Subject: Canadian shipping / Sperdvac Radiogram
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

I recently checked my local Post Office for book rates to Canada. When 
I ship Sperdvac tapes domestically (five open reels) it costs on an 
average of $[removed] If I want to ship across the International border, 
I'm going to have to complete some extra paperwork. The package may or 
may not be inspected by customs. It will cost about $8 shipping. If I 
ship  book rate, the recipient's rental time will run out before he 
even gets it. There are some problems, not insurmountable, but 
certainly adds to Sperdvac's costs.
We do not want to discourage Canadian members but there are added 
costs, including shipping the initial catalog and monthly Newsletter 
mailings. Some Sperdvac librarians do not want the hassle of 
international mailings. As far as I'm concerned, I'll ship anywhere in 
the world to a valid member. (And I have the newest library 
acquisitions.)

*******Walter Beaupre's cyberspace article in the Radiogram**********

One writer here was disappointed in Walter's article because he failed 
to mention this discussion group. Not so!
Page 10, column 2, first paragraph clearly mentions the web page for 
Otr Digest archives. And he mentions ongoing threads that were here 
some time ago. He gives a plug to Laura Lee's Jack Benny Fan Club. He 
mentions some of Bob Burnham's and Jim Widner's contibutions here.
Let's give Walter a break, he is a recently retired doctor and the 
Internet is a little new to him. (I don't suppose anyone here remembers 
his first time online? Hmm?) He apparently hasn't discovered how to 
subscribe to the list and is reading archives instead. But he did 
mention us. And it wasn't a bad article at that.
Since the writer here who was disappointed with the article is a 
Sperdvac member then he is invited to submit articles to the Radiogram 
himself. For that matter, even non-members have the same invitation 
open to them.
Editor Dan is always looking for material to fill the Newsletter. Send 
your submissions to Dan Haefele at the address in the Newsletter. If 
you don't have the address, email me and I will give it to you.
Whenever you have that feeling, "I could have written a better article 
than [removed]," that's the time to sit down and do it. 
Heck, if I knew how to write, I'd submit articles myself, and Dan would 
probably even print them. That's how badly he needs material.

Lou Genco pointed out to me that my posting of Matinee House's e-mail

contacting them concerning their listing of Jean Shepherd cassettes 
and other radio shows they are offering, the correct e-mail address 
is: jrstraz@[removed]

Subject: Godfrey
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

I was asked a trivia question that I can't answer so
I thought I would bug the rest of you with it.
"What was Arthur Godfrey's theme song?"
That is a bit tougher than it looks because he
had a one hour weekday radio program with a
studio audience, the Talent Scouts program that
migrated to TV, and his half hour radio show on
CBS that he wound up his career with. There may
have been several themes.
My gut response was "Seems Like Old Times" but
I have nothing to base that upon.

I believe that Walter Beaupre is aware of the digest, but to be sure, I sent
him an email message informing him of such.

I knew he was writing an article, but was not aware of its specific content,
otherwise I might have mentioned it to him.

Hi Gang -                       Sunday - November 5, 1995 - 12:30 PM cst 

In Issue [removed], Rhiman Rotz posted a notice regarding the "CBC Mystery
Project.  This is to confirm that the schedule for November 4 is accurate.
 Last evening I tuned in to the "CBC Mystery Project" on Radio Canada
International and heard a BOSTON BLACKIE story.  The preview of next week's
broadcast indicates that there will be another BOSTON BLACKIE adventure at
5:30 PM Central Standard Time.   

I found that the best frequency to receive RCI at that time of day in the
Chicago area is 5960 KHz.  I also received signals on 9755, and 11,945 KHz;
but these two frequencies faded as the sun was setting.  Listeners in
different parts of the country (or of the world) will probably receive RCI
better on different frequencies.  RCI announces their operating frequencies
on the hour and on the half-hour.  There are many to choose from.

Last Night's Boston Blackie story was #92 (Harry Gets Janet a Mink Coat).
  Anybody who wants to start taping off the air to build a collection might
wish to tune to RCI on short wave and record the "CBC Mystery Project" on
Saturday evenings.  The sound quality was quite good, and the signals were
loud and clear yesterday.  This is no guarantee of how next week's program
will sound.  If you have a short wave radio, tune it in.  Oh yes, there were
no commercials (new or old).  The Boston Blackie program was continuous from
beginning to end.  Makes for good listening. 

Happy taping - Ken Piletic    - Streamwood, Illinois -

Subject:  re: NBC -CBS short wave / Network service in Hawaii
Message-ID: <951105154707_98549383@[removed]>

So who was the intended audience of these network short-wave broadcasts ? (
referring to the fact that both NBC and CBS transmitted their broadcast
schedules over short wave as well as to their various affiliated stations ) .
Perhaps South American listeners. 
=========== New Subject===========================
I ask about network service in Hawaii as a Sperdvac "Jimmy Durante Show"
  broadcast  ( late 40s) has station KGUs signature on the end. KGU is in
Hawaii as you stated. 
I have seen many progran guides put out by sponsors ( THE RAILROAD HOUR , and
others ) and never do they list a station in Hawaii as carrying their show.
Perhaps it is because the stations in Hawaii were not hooked into the live
network feed but rather were shipped transcriptions of the networks show for
a later broadcast ? (  I know before the nets ( in TV )  started feeding
their service via satelite in the 80s places like Hawaii AND Alaska  were
still being shipped the programs through the mail . The show could air weeks
later.
I am sure the live cable connection cost to Hawaii would have been cost
prohibited. 
Anyways - Just a curiosity. Thanks.

Subject: Halloween/christmas
Message-ID: <[removed]@[removed]>

HALLOWEEN:  I posted this a few weeks back but I think it got lost in the 
crash.  Someone asked about favorite Halloween shows.  Many of the ones listed 
are favorites of mine.  But one which was not mentioned was not a "scary" show 
at all.  And while not directly related to Halloween, I use it at that time of 
year.  I am referring to the Lux Radio Theater's production of "The Cantorville 
Ghost".  Margaret O'Brien and Charles Laughton were wonderful in this show.  
And it is where I first learned the term "noblesse oblige" ([removed]) and have 
never forgotten it.  Haven't used it much either, but still remember it.  I 
play it for children quite often and many love to hear it over and over.
    
CHRISTMAS:  Bob Burnham asked about holiday shows.  Three which come to mind 
for me are:
    1)  Hallmark Playhouse's production of "The Desert Shall Rejoice" starring 
John Hodiak.  A minor piece, but I listen to it at least once each holiday 
season.
    
    2)  I recall a Duffy's Tavern episode where a "stranger" visits the bar 
after closing and helps a cynical Archie have a change of heart about the 
season.  A change of pace for this show.  (It's always hard for me to believe 
when I listen to Duffy's Tavern that Ed Gardner transcribed the show each week 
from Puerto Rico.)
    
    3) Call me sentimental, but I remember how each December we would plan the 
family tree trimming night around the date of Bing Crosby's annual Christmas 
Show.  Somehow those radio personalities seemed more a part of our lives than 
the ones on TV today.
