im looking for an internet radio station that plays old time radio dramas and or audio book recordings?
Any value to old ham radio QSL cards?
These are Ham Radio “QSL cards”. The cards are all to Charles Waff Jr., Amateur Radio W3UVA, University, VA. From the very limited info I’ve found on him, he was a fairly prolific “DX’er” in his time (he’s mentioned as a “famous old time DX’er” at http://hamgallery.com/gallery/U/unknown.htm). There are roughly 1200. The cards range from the early 30′s to early 40′s, most around 1935 to 1937. Cards are from all over the US, and all over the world (many from Russia ((primarily Leningrad)), Germany ((some have Swastika’s on them)), Western Australia, Czechoslavakia, Japan, et cetera; there are many more countries); some use postage, others a QSL bureau. Some have odd small blue stamps with triangles in them, or other “non-postage” QSL stamps. Condition is very mixed, ranging from poor to nearly new appearing. Anyway, the question; any value, or just curiosities? A local antique dealer offered me $150 for them; does this sound fair? Any help appreciated, apparently no value guides exist.
To answer the “Have you tried Ebay?” reply, yes, I’ve tried Ebay, Google, qsl.net, et cetera. Most of the cards on Ebay are considerably newer, 1950′s to present, and most of the “collections” are primarily cards from the US and/or modern. The price on the smattering of individual cards from the 1930′s seem to depend on the countries sent from; however, I’ve been unable to find any guide to “rare” countries, senders, et cetera, nor other method of sorting common cards/locations from rarer. Thanks!

Isn’t this a sad but very touching article from one of the LEO journals I subscribe to?
Philadelphia Inquirer
May 06, 2008
PHILADELPHIA – Nancy Braun was sitting on a couch watching one of her favorite TV shows, Trading Spaces, when gunfire erupted down the street yesterday morning.
“I heard three shots – real loud,” Braun said from a rocking chair on the front porch of her Schiller Street rowhouse. “Then a lady started screaming, ‘A police officer’s been shot!’ “
Braun and her boyfriend, Joe Czarnik, both 43, bolted out of the house and ran to Schiller and Almond Streets, she said. She was not wearing shoes at the time, she said, and ran in her socks.
In the street next to a compact police cruiser, Braun said, she saw Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski. Others were trying to apply pressure to his stomach and an arm.
Keith Petaccio, 45, was at his front door greeting his wife as she came back after walking their dogs.
A police cruiser “flew by,” and Petaccio stepped outside to see what was going on just as the gunfire started, he said. He said he had run to Liczbinski.
Throughout the block as noon approached, chaos ensued.
A woman spun around yelling that a man had put a gun to her head and threatened to kill her. People young and old poured out of houses and onto their porches. One man chased the shooter’s stolen Jeep as it bolted south on Almond Street. Others called 911 on cell phones.
An older man nearby had taken the fallen officer’s radio and was saying, “A police officer is down. He’s shot multiple times. Get an ambulance,” Braun said.
Braun yelled at another neighbor for towels to try to stop the gushing blood. She grabbed four kitchen towels and gave them to those trying to stop the bleeding, she said.
A neighbor tying to help Liczbinski looked up at Braun and said, “His arm is just dangling off.”
Petaccio said he had stayed with Liczbinski talking to him as he tried to save his life.
He said Liczbinski had looked at him and said, “I want you to tell my wife I’ll miss her.”
Joe Farrell was cooking breakfast for his children, he said, when he heard the shots feet from his porch. He yelled at the children to get down on the floor and ran out the door to help.
“They were holding rags on him trying to stop the blood from pumping out,” Farrell said. He said he had helped get Liczbinski into the back of a police car.
Minutes later, swarms of police and detectives arrived. They quickly strung yellow police tape for blocks around the intersection.
“I feel bad for the family and the police,” Braun said. “What they have to go through today, it’s horrible.”
Petaccio said that on Saturdays the neighborhood streets were usually filled with children playing. Yesterday few people were outside when the drama began.
“My heart goes out to his family,” Petaccio said. “I can’t believe it happened.”
Many of the porches in the neighborhood have colorful flowers hanging in baskets or in pots.
By 6 p.m., when most police cars had left and the police tape had been collected, some had placed flowerpots at the curb where Liczbinski fell.

I am Isaac Newton,the true Messiah.Jesus ws the alien.I still remember my house in England,does it still exist?
I will stop posting to US yahoo answer when this US yahoo account was banned. When you are traving to Israel, please tell the Jews that their Messiah is in Jerusalem now, he will choose the suitable time when he wants to appear.
Because I am a saint, and the only son of the Creator, I must be the virgin for ever. I were the virgin in 1727 before I died. Even If I were reborn, I must be the virgin for ever. Nostradamus was not the virgin. I could get the messages same as Nostradamus. For a short time, when I had remembered my name, I had been seen that I lived in my house with my old body in England. I “see”, not “remember”. If the Creator likes, I could see the little future.
1:1
Sitting alone at night in secret study;
it is placed on the brass tripod.
A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and
makes successful that which should not be believed in vain.
1:2
The wand in the hand is placed in the middle of the tripod’s legs.
With water he sprinkles both the hem of his garment and his foot.
A voice, fear: he trembles in his robes.
Divine splendor; the God sits nearby.
The letters of Nostradamus:
http://www.crystalinks.com/nostyepistle.html
“So much so that persons of future times may be seen in present ones, because God Almighty has wished to reveal them by means of images, together with various secrets of the future vouchsafed to orthodox astrology, as was the case in the past, so that a measure of power and divination passed through them, the flame of the spirit inspiring them to pronounce upon inspiration both human and divine.”
“It is much like seeing in a burning mirror, with clouded vision, the great events, sad, prodigious and calamitous events that in due time will fall upon the principal worshipers. First, upon the temples of God; secondly, upon those who, sustained by the earth, approach such a decadence. Also a thousand other calamitous events which will be known to happen in due time.”
I am Isaac Newton, the true Messiah. According to Juan Paul Valdez, if I never returned, what had been happened?
According to “Juan Paul Valdez’s prophecies”, the fuse of the Third World War is that China’s army and America’s army fights in the Taiwan Strait before Taiwan independence referendum takes place.

I were fear when I tried to post to the Google Groups on 25th December 2008. I fact, I could write good English with the help of the translator. The Chinese government sent his hackers to destroy the American government’s websites in August 2007 because of my voices, you know the truth today. According to “Esdras II”, after all the Messiah’s voice said: “You made a mistake with the Jews!” It referred to the following.
Moderator: Hello hotline listeners, I am Mr Wei Lian.
I am: I am Mr Guangzhou.
Moderator: Mr Guangzhou, please.
I: “Only for the Jews and the western European nation”
This time should be my last voice appears on Radio Free Asia, the following information is more important than “the Dead Sea Scrolls”, my existence has no doubt about harbinger, please allow me to rapidly finish my words when I have been got well prepared. My birth to death was full of prophecy as early as 500 years ago, I do not think I am able to tell a lie. The prophets of the Jews’s prophecies about me which have been happened, the prophecies have been all come true, I am the true Messiah of the Jews who are waiting for the long time, Jesus were the son of the evil aliens who took my name and used high technology to deceived all the people, the Jews were got unredressed injustice by him, the fact had been written in “Esdras II”. I have never been a Christian, I do not believe in Jesus, I am not a Muslim, I do not believe in Mohammed. I look down upon Jews because of they betrayed the Creator, and did not abide by the Creator’s law. When I become the King of the Jews in the near future, I certainly correct the mistakes of the Jews. My psychology and morality is English, but it is not on the religion, it is on the spirit. Jesus and Muhammad, the two big frauds made mistakes of the Creator’s figure, the Creator never used intermediaries, the Creator had nothing of body and figure, the Creator is supernatural forces and wonders. I likely must be the prophet, the great scholar, and the Kind in the near future. I am the protagonist in “the Hebrew Bible”, “Nostradamus’s prophecies”, “Apocryphon of John” and “Esdras II”, the Jews’s prophets predicted that nobody’s prestige would compare with me for ever. The Jews’s prophets metaphorically predicted all my life, the Jews were waiting for me over 3000 years, from who am I to now, this four books’s prophecies all come true which is able to predict and is about me, for my safety, I can only tell you this. I were the man who left his tomb in “Nostradamus’s prophecies”. So I have to tell to the Jews: “All my life belongs to the Jews.” The Jews’s prophets always used familiar things to metaphorically predicted what
would happen, so we could see the prophecies of “the Hebrew Bible” were metaphorical. According to “the Dead Sea Scrolls”, the Messiah want to get the great power. The facts showed us that Jesus were the fake God, Jesus was created by the aliens who according to the letters without judgment, “borrowed from a virgin’s body” and “fastened my hands and legs” was not in conformity with “the Dead Sea Scrolls”. All the prophecies metaphorically referred to me which came true on Jesus, I will explain it for you in the future. The Messiah must be the King of the Jews who was written in “the Dead Sea Scrolls”, “the Message of Fatima” must be written by the aliens. We cannot find out the writer of “Apocryphon of John” for ever, but he must be a Jew and a Judaist who did not believe in Jesus, “Apocryphon of John” was written by him before Jesus was born. Except for “Apocryphon of John”, we cannot believe in “the New Testament”, its subject matter repeated in “the Dead Sea Scrolls”. We should put
“Apocryphon of John”, “Nostradamus’s prophecies” and “Juan Paul Valdez’s prophecies” into “the Dead Sea Scrolls”, only this book can be called “the Bible”. According to Mayan civilization, I think that the aliens are ancient human who were punished by the Creator, they escaped from and lived in the Moon, they could not breed their offsprings on a large scale, they could not suit and live in the Earth for ever, they must go back the Earth and brought what they need back to the Moon, the Earth was the only room which they could bring their necessaries. If the species die out on the Earth, the aliens cannot live too, our human was not created by the aliens. Mr Darwin had been said: “If you can find out the small part in the cell which is not though evolution, my theory of evolution is completely wrong.” Modern science have been proven that “the theory of evolution” is wrong. Our human must be created by the Creator, the Creator has nothing of body and figure. The proteins formed in the
Universe because of the Creator, the proteins fell down on the Earth, the cell and DNA miraculously formed, finally the species formed. Because it is marvelous, I can tell you that the creatures is sole in the Universe. According to “Falun Gong Cult”, this heathendom’s explanation to “Nostradamus’s prophecies”, the prophecy in “Nostradamus’s prophecies”: “For five hundred years more one will keep count of him Who was the ornament of his time: Then suddenly great light will he give, He who for this century will render them very satisfied.” I disclose who am I when I completely do not known any prophecy, I found that I had been said, I said that I must be reborn,my birth to death was full of prophecy and had been written in “the Bible” which I called “the Bible”. According to my appearance, I am not the human cloning of anyone, I am in conformity with Judaism, I must be gone against the aliens’s expectations. I uphold “Man proposes, God disposes.” The prophecies do not make an impact
on my life at all. I have no words to say at all, long time ago I spent over 50 years to explain the prophets of the Jews’s prophecies. I lose my memory, I really do not know what I had been written before I died, I remembered my name when a wonder happened to me, this wonder had been maskedly written in “the Bible” which I called “the Bible”, I will explain about it in the future. I am sure that nobody is more qualified than me who reads my works, in fact, I think that the time is long overdue for the leaders of the Vatican find out the fact: “Jesus was the alien, and I would be reborn as the true Messiah.” This fact according to my works which deliberately do not make public. It is out of the question! Believe in the Creator is all my life. According to “the Hebrew Bible” which the Creator said, the Jews must be chosen me as the King of the Jews, I must follow the words of the Creator and correct the mistakes of the Jews, I must be hurled back all the Moslems in Palestine, I will
lead the Jews to cope with the terror and great catastrophes.
According to “Esdras II”, the Creator wants to prove that what the Messiah says is all true, so he shows the following. “When the Messiah speaks, I will show the large volumes on the sky which you have never seen, everyone can see it.” Nobody had seen the following in the whole human history before.
