Hey to all.
This year as a birthday present to myself I bought a SStran AMT3000 low power transmitter kit. I put it together and it works great! So now I can listen to my old time radio collection on period correct equipment. I did some on line research and found out that the Orson Welles 1938 broadcast of the War of the Worlds was originally aired on Sunday Oct. 30 at 8 pm EST. Seeing as tonight Oct. 30 also falls on Sunday I rebroadcast the show on my transmitter at the same time 8 pm EST or 7pm my time. After turning out all the lights and in the glow of a few Jack-O-Lanterns, I fired up my 1932 Philco 15X and went back 73 years! Both transmitter and reciever worked great and I had the best "treat" I could ask for! Icon_thumbup

I've had my 15X for over twenty years and she is one of my favorites. Apart from replacing the filter caps, that's all the work it has ever had except for tubes and it still performs wonderfully! A great testimony to Philco's quality ! Icon_thumbup

Happy Halloween to all!
Kevin
