 I buy my reel to reel and cassette tapes from a company in Duncanville Texas
called M-W Sales. They do mail order. Call them at 972-296-2773 and they will
sent you a catalog.

Got the following from Glen Hauser's World Of Radio.
A weekly shortwave monitoring program he puts out.
Good tips on ststions heard and other information about shortwave and AM
broadcast band listening. This is direct word for word from the broadcast.
That tape recorder of mine really comes in handy!

"Richard McCarthey in Alabama notes that WHO 1040 is carrying The Golden
Age Of Radio Theater weeknights at 10pm eastern, 0300UTC"

I'll have to listen to this myself sometime! WHO is a clear channel 50kw AM
station in Demoines Indiana. Heard all over the US at night (perhaps Canada
too?) it comes in good in Houston Tx. If you don't have a station on 1040
near you or 1030/1050 (either side) you should be able to pick this radio
station up after dark.

Anybody know of other AM stations, frequencies & times at night when this
show can be heard? May help if someone can't get WHO because of other stations.

Does anyone else recall hearing this sci-fi drama series in the early 
50s?   I've never seen or heard it since.   It was a little like Star 
Trek for radio, but without quite such philsophical depth.

The name of the best place to get tape recorder rubber parts used to be 
Projector-Recorder Belt Co. of Whitewater, Wisconsin.  They changed their 
name to Premium Parts Plus, I think---check with 800 information to see 
if that's still the name: they'll still be in Whitewater.  They have an 
overpowering catalog of belts and idler wheels, and can custom-make 
stuff, too.  They've got a toll-free number.

I had replied by e-mail direct to Joe Oliver about his posting last week
regarding the passing of actor Peter Leeds and the lack of any details
of his radio career in a published obit. Joe has suggested I pass my
comments on to the Digest. They are nothing profound, just commiserating
with the situation and venting my spleen at a younger generation of news
producers/editors, to wit:
Read your otr note about Peter Leeds. I share the sadness at the loss of
one of those great "workhorse" talents of radio ... and the sadness
about the popular press' lack of recognition of Leeds et al., but if
there's no one at the news agencies who remembers or attaches any
signficance to radio then it's easy to see how some thngs never get
mentioned.
To the newer breed, it's like if it ain't got pictures, it never
existed. Reminds me of when William Conrad died ... what did CBS radio
use for its obit on the hourly newscast? -- a sound clip from TV's
"Canon." Come on! Doesn't anybody over 45 or with a sense of historical
perspective work at these places any more ... or know what's in their
own archives?
