Well! Be sure to tune in this weekend for the Random Access thought, heard worldwide and exclusively over This Week in Amateur Radio. This episode and also a second future edition soon to go into production, is a long time coming. In the far distant, primordial mists of TWIAR, eons before the Random Access Thought, centuries prior to the Ancient Amateur Archives and certainly way before Leo Laporte's Tech News, there was a short lived feature which apparently played over the course of two or three programs entitled This Week in UFOs as hosted by Don Ecker KE6RVO, a columnist for UFO Magazine. George has been talking, virtually proselytizing, about this feature for years but recently, like the Holy Grail, he stumbled across two cassette tapes while doing some housecleaning in his radio shack. He turned the tapes over to me for remastering and post effects enhancement. This RAT is prefaced by Mister Munro, Marilyn's husband, with an introduction and historical prospective voiced by George W2XBS.

Just a comment about your homepage pictures. The one called A Thrilling Halloween, I have an original of that one. It's about 80 years old now. I just found it quaint that someone had duplicated it. It's an old advertising card that was made in Boston.
I never saw Halloween cards like these when I was a kid. Sounds like they might carry some cash value if you ever should decide to sell them!
We're talking late 1800's here and early 1900's. I have over 800 different advertising cards from the 1876 to 1925. That was their only form of advertising other then the city's newspaper there in Boston. Even though they're collector items they're only worth $10. to $20. a piece.
I have two that are worth hundreds though. They are two original Currier and Ives cards. Type (victorian advertising cards halloween) in Google images and you'll find a fair amount.
