You can hear recordings of Walter on line at: http://www.archive.org/details/WWII_News_19450225_Walter_Winchell
Or http://tinyurl.com/22kf83 There are Gabriel Heatter recording around but I don't know of any available for listening on-line. On another list I came across the answer to those of us who constantly mutter about the tiny radios on the market today. How about the 'colossus of radio' shown here? http://radiomagonline.com/features/radio_colossus_radio/ Or http://tinyurl.com/25frzf Yes, it's for real, in spite of the date shown on the article. And it's just a receiver! One was recently auctioned off as shown here: http://www.estesauctions.com/April282007page1.html Ya see, you can cut out one of these pictures and paste it on the wall, then ask your spouse whether they'd appreciate one of these in the house or perhaps a (relatively) tiny K3...

That was Walter "Windshield" (Winchell...<g>) : "Good evening Mister and Missus North and South America and all the ships at sea, let's go to press..." Gabriel Heatters's trademark was "Ah yes, there's good news tonight..." Or so I remember. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
