[ARC5] For Halloween: "The Long Nights of Uncle Tom"

[don davis]

When I was a kid in the mid-60s I'd mow several neighbor's lawns (@ 50 cents
each), then I'd walk down to the store and buy a 16 oz. Royal Crown Cola (RC
Cola), an Abba Zabba Bar, and any / all of the latest electronic magazines.
I took these to the park and read them from cover to cover fueled by a sugar
high.  Learned to write by reading Tom Kneitel.  CM Stanbury III was a
favorite writer, always had some conspiracy tale about Swan Is.  I still
have a SWL QSL from them somewhere here...  Life was simpler back then;
after about 10 years professional EE I got to the point where I couldn't
stand to read anything electronic related.  Last 10-15 years have gotten
back into it in a big way, have re-acquired complete runs of all the old
mags.

Happy Halloween, all.
Good time to share a "spooky radio story" from November
of 1970.   I was a boy: 13 years old in Shreveport, LA......
