[NJARC] War of the Worlds update

[amagoun]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We now take you back to the international headquarters of the David
Sarnoff Library, where Alex Magoun has this report:

The press releases are flowing (see www.davidsarnoff.blogspot.com/),
additional articles are going to print on the Hunterdon Radio Theatre
and its 20+ cast and thereminist Kip Rosser, and the NJARC is gaining
even more notice.  All we need now are a few more radios.  So far Darren
is providing transcription disc recording and at least one period mic
and Howard Klancer is offering a nice Philco 39-30.  We have the two
consoles restored and donated by Marty and friends (sorry, friends, I
need a card with your names on it:), and the 1931 GE console out in the
lobby.  While I know that the consoles provide ample volume and we could
use some nonworking tabletops, part of the appeal is the "surround mono"
effect, especially for those in the back

As with 2003, we'll keep all tabletops in Mr. Sarnoff's office for
safekeeping, and credit individuals on the program (yes, there will be a
program this time).

Look forward to seeing you tonight,

Alex
