Complete radio broadcast day from September 21, 1939...all the programs, commercials, etc., 21 hours worth non-stop. I've downloaded other old radio programs, but nothing like this. I then made a .mp3 CD of all 21 hours, in order...what a wild time warp. Here's several links to where you can find this:<BR> <A HREF="http://www.zootradio.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.zootradio.com/</A> <P>You need a login and password to download from this site, but they are easy to get. All you have to do is join the forums there.<P>You can also find it here (this site from the Univ. of Virginia is all about the 1930s; it's outstanding):<BR> <A HREF="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/front.html" TARGET=_blank>http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/front.html</A> <P>Go to the "Site Index", then "The 1930s On The Air".<P>------------------<BR>My antique radios:<BR> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/jingram05/index4.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/jingram05/index4.html</A>

jing..........how long do you think it would take to dload the 21 hour segment (cable connection). Is this an overnight type of dload or could it be done in a few hours ?<P>Dennis<P>------------------<BR>Live Long and Prosper

The way the .mp3 segments are compressed (Kb per second), not long to download. I took the 19 .mp3 files off of the ZootRadio site in about half an hour. They're each an hour long when played back, some a little more than that, so the total comes out to 21 hours. I made a .mp3 CD out of them all, in order, so it plays like the actual broadcast. My DVD/CD player I have hooked up to my Marantz receiver is what I use to broadcast (via AM transmitter connected to the headphone jack) OTR radio shows and programs to my old radios.<P>------------------<BR>My antique radios:<BR> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/jingram05/index4.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/jingram05/index4.html</A>
