     International shortwave radio station HCJB, The Voice of the 
Andes, will be carrying the 1939 broadcast version of Charles Dickens' 
"A Christmas Carol" on Sunday, December 22. This presentation was 
produced by Orson Welles. This drama can be heard in North America on 
the evening of Sunday, December 22 at 8 and 11 [removed] EST on the 
frequency of 9745 kHz in the 31 meter band. If you have a shortwave 
radio you should be able to pick HCJB up, we have a pretty strong 
signal. North Americans can often hear the other transmissions as well, 
especially the one to Europe at 2 [removed] In Europe the program can be 
heard at 7:30 UTC on 5860 kHz and at 19:00 UTC on 11960. Listeners in 
Asia and the South Pacific can hear the program at 9:00 UTC on 9445 
kHz. 
     In addition, James Dobson's Focus on the Family is beginning  what 
they call the Focus on the Family Radio Theater which evidently will be 
a continuing series of dramatic presentations. FOF is commonly heard on 
Christian-formatted radio stations. Their first production is a new 
version of A Christmas Carol. It is very well done and runs around two 
hours. It would be worth a call to your local Christian-formatted 
station to see if they plan to carry it. The one reason we didn't use 
it on HCJB is because two hours doesn't fit any of our availabilities. 

     Best wishes and Merry Christmas. --Ken MacHarg

Possibly a little off subject, but -

I'm currently looking for radio broadcasts from the early days of the
National Basketball Association (or BAA, NBL broadcasts) or later Boston
Celtics games. Does anyone know of a source for this or have any to trade /
sell?

Feel free to post replies to my personal email.

   I see a lot of Abbott & Costello info here, and on Saturday night I 
see A&E cable is having a Biography on the pair.  RHAC now has 
available to RHAC members on the Digest 24 A&C shows from 1942-1944. 
They can be found on Tapes 1250, 1251, and 1252. Also available are 24 
Murder at Midnight shows on tapes 1254, 1255 1256 & 1257.  These will 
not be announced until Jan 1997 to the regular members, but can now be 
ordered by Digest Members.  
   For dates and show details go to the best OTR site on the WEB: Lou 
Genco's         [removed]        Go to CLUBS, then 
RHAC/catalog and download the zipped file to view it.   While there 
look at all the new stuff Lou has added.  A great place!!!!

The splitting of network radio feeds lasted well into the 60s as I
got stuck doing it. There were certain statements in auto ads having
to do with emission requirements in CA that had to be substituted
in the pacific northwest with different copy. So we'd interupt the
network by running the northern leg through an audio console and
wait for the cue to play the replacement.
Back in the days of NBC monitor I did the same trick by covering
one spot with another. I lost a lot of respect for David Wayne because
he'd cross up his cues and give the one for the 30 second spot when
they were really playing the 60 and visa versa.
Now all this would be accomplished by a microprocessor controller
sitting in the rack getting a DTMF sequence (usually 635*) from
a satellite.
