    Subject:  How to start or expand an OTR library

    At the risk of potential challenges from well-meaning readers I submit a
    list of some essential texts I believe every fledgling and practiced OTR
    collector/researcher may wish to consider for a personal library.  From
    time to time individuals ask what books should be gathered for reflection
    and information.  Here's an answer by categories.  This is part of dual
    presentations/discussions at last week's REPS Showcase in Seattle.  Your
    personal favorites may be overlooked.  Please understand that this is an
    attempt to be helpful to those who are inquiring and not a list of a
    thousand volumes.

    A Radio Researcher's Guide to Published Books

    Prepared by Radio Historiographer Jim Cox in June 2003

    Note - This is not an exhaustive list but an anthology of some prime
    published resources in several spheres that often fare well in
    comparative tests of authority, accuracy, reliability and objectivity.
    This compendium is strictly a beginning point for radio researchers - both
    serious students and casual inquirers - in finding solutions to perplexing
    questions.  Be advised that web site and email discussion boards,
    individual OTR club newsletters and their script, tape and print
    libraries, nostalgia publications, vintage radio magazines, major
    collections of radio series and individual entertainers in several
    prominent archival repositories, plus private compilations (both printed
    and recorded) and a myriad of added unnamed properties may be invaluable
    to anyone engaging in intensive research.  The attempt herewith is to
    assist investigators by identifying a pool of published volumes that
    support such efforts.

    Subject:  BBC World Service via C-Span

    Can anybody out there help with the following problem?

    For a number of years now, our way of hearing the World Service has
    been via the SAP provided by C-Span2.  Our cable service has done
    funny things with it now and then, placing it always on the SAP of a
    channel OTHER than C-Span, but still, most of the time things have
    worked [removed]  Suddenly, however, the audio is gone, and our cable
    service engineer told me he learned that C-Span has dropped it.  He
    is a good fellow, and said he is looking into finding a way to obtain
    it in some other way.  I know this audio is available from a
    satellite, but I gather that for the cable service (Time Warner) to
    get it and provide it is not entirely a simple matter.

    Or is it?  And do you any of you hear the World Service via your
    cable company?  If so, is the signal still there?

    If anyone can provide information that I might then pass on to the
    Time Warner engineer, please tell me.  This enginneer is a great
    fellow, and seems to be the ONLY person at Time Warner in Rochester
    (our location) who even knows that the BBC World Service audio has
    been supplied by them to their subscribers for more than twelve years
    now!

    Subject:  Poor Reception

    Another reason for poor AM reception, especially in the last several months
    is the entrance of AM stations using the Digital Transmission Scheme IBOC.
    The bandwidth limiting of IBOC has not been perfected yet so any AM station
    which is also broadcasting in "digital" creates quite a lot of "splatter" to
    adjacent stations.  You can hear this as a general hiss under the adjacent
    stations.

    When somebody, sorry forgot who, mentioned that you

    made me wonder if anyone has mentioned all the other
    movies and Classic TV shows featured on that website
    that might be of interest to OTR fans!

    After creating a free membership account, you can see
    many different TV Shows that made the transition from
    radio to television like, The Jimmy Durante Show, The
    Jack Benny Program, Ozzie and Harriet, Dragnet, and
    The Colgate Comedy Hour with Abbott and Costello.
    There is also a film called "WWII-The Music Video
    [removed]" that includes a "live" clip from the radio show
    MAIL CALL with Don Wilson and Abbott and Costello.
    Great Fun!  If you chose to pay for a 'Plus' account
    you can access even more shows!

    Anyway, thought it was worth a mention for those who
    hadn't seen what they had to offer.

    Subject:  Tube radios = better reception?

>     . Were there more high-power stations broadcasting at night than there are
>     now?

    As additional information to this topic, during the 1920's and
    maybe into the early 30's, the higher power stations would have a
    quite time where they would go off the air for a short period so
    that DX fans could have a shot at hearing the lower power stations.
    Many radio fans built their own receivers, often getting the plans
    from one of the technical radio mags, or even designing their own
    circuit. Radio clubs were popular and bragging rights were
    established by those who claim to pull in the most distant station
    with his radio set with his special circuit, special antenna, ect.
    The best time for pulling in those dx stations was in the wee
    hours of the night which could make it difficult to get up for
    work the next day. A serious dx'er could hire a "professional
    listener" who would come to the house and set up all night logging
    distant stations on his set. He would then take the log to the
    next radio club meeting to show how well his set pulled in the
    hard ones.

    Mike Kerezman Jr. asks if there's a log of Mr. Keen available anywhere.
    I don't think so.  Yet.  I never found a complete one.  But when my
    forthcoming book "Radio's Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons" is released
    by McFarland in a few months, that info will be available along with a
    whole lot more on broadcasting's most durable detective which aired over
    an 18-year run.  The log includes not only dates, times, sponsors and
    networks but also cast members and plot outlines for the 1,693 episodes.
    (I was successful in acquiring about 1,650 of those scripts.)  Companion
    chapters set the stage for the longrunning series and offer little known
    details and anecdotes about it and the actors who played  the principal
    roles.  There is also an introductory chapter that sets the stage for all
    crime-detective shows appearing on the air, extensively examining the
    background of the genre.  So, bide your time, Mike, for the answers you
    seek are on the way.

    Actually Mike, you are in luck.  Author Jim Cox has recently completed a
    book documenting the entire history and a detailed episode guide to the
    entire series, and it will be published through McFarland within months.
    Jim's biography/book about the Hummerts (who created the series) is about to
    be published now so the Mr. Keen book will follow shortly.  I know Jim
    personally and he has done the program justice and the book will be worth

        It's been awhile since I last added to this newsletter. I was wondering

    radio. I've been planning to offer a one-night seminar of discussion, quizzes
    and the playing of a program of the audience's choosing for a senior citizens
    facility where my Mother lives in southern New Jersey. If it was
    well-received and the audience was receptive, I would consider doing it on a
    weekly or bi-weekly basis. I also considered looking into inaugurating a
    class on OTR for a local adult evening school program.
       Has anyone out there done anything similar? If so I'd appreciate hearing
    about the layout and course curriculum you used and what success or failures
    resulted. Any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated. Since I'm
    personally retiring today after nearly 43 years designing News graphics for a
    Philadelphia TV station this is something I've contemplated for some time
    since I've been an avid OTR enthusiast for many years.
    Thanks.

    I'm new to the Old Time Radio list and am enjoying it very much.  I grew up in
    the 40's and 50's and remember many of the radio programs.  I have just
    started a collection of radio program tapes, comedy, and do they bring back
    memories. They also bring questions.  Such as why two Great Gildersleeves?
    When and why did Phil Harris leave the Jack Benny Program?  Did each program
    have a full orchestra for the music or was some pre recorded?  Generally, when
    did most shows begin leaving radio?  Did the shows have series finales like TV
    shows do?
    Lot's of questions some of which will probably be answered as I read through
    future lists.
