		      OTR (OLD-TIME-RADIO) Newsletter Created

   OTR, the noncommercial, electronic newsletter for folks who
   enjoy collecting and listening to nostalgic radio programs is proud to
   announce the acceptance of charter subscriptions.

   OTR was founded after discussion in Usenet newsgroups and email
   exchanges, indicating the desire of a number of Usenet users to 
   have a forum dedicated to the hobby of listening to old-time radio
   (OTR) programming.

       Some of the anticipated topics include (but are not limited to):

		Lists of AM radio stations broadcasting OTR.
		  Lists and critiques of OTR tape vendors.
		Contents of personal libraries / collections.
		  Offers to privately exchange recordings.
	      Critiques of individual or serialized programs.
	  Discussions about radio dramas / mysteries / adventures.
	    Hints on re-recording and preserving audio quality.
