It wouldn't be Hallowe'en without Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the air! Classic War of the Worlds broadcast.

Sent email to station.

44233. Reception is better without the magic wand antenna. Less noise.

Thanks!

Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Going through my recordings, and the signal was a bit too weak to hear the War of the World parts but somehow the SSTV blasted through:
