[R-390] R-390(A or non A) entertainment

Tue, 1 Jul 2003 20:49:29 -0400

Hmmm...reminds me of using one of the old Radio Snack sound-effects records
(the track of bloodcurdling screams) played in the electronics building
behind my high school one morning.  All kinds of folks at the windows
wondering what female teacher was being butchered...

Forrest, I agree with you. I was in the Radio Repair section at Herzo base
in the late 50's and we always had a R390A or non A tuned to AFN
Bremerhaven. Being from the South, I always enjoyed the "HillBilly Gasthaus"
programs and still have a tape from there that I occasionally enjoy playing.
Really brings back good  memories! I remember one day that we mounted a
large horn type speaker on the roof and aimed it across the street at the EM
club. With the volume cranked up, the sound bounced off the front of the
club and no one could tell where it was really coming from. Everyone got a
good dose of country music that day!
