    I'm paying for this page, so I might as well use it during the hiatus. I'm a radio nerd, and every September 21st I listen to this from start to finish. It's The full broadcasting day from sign on to sign off of WJSV 1460 AM, Washington, D.C, on Thursday, September 21, 1939. I like to share, so here it is. Giving you a week advance so you can download it, and have it ready to go on the 21st. If you start playing it at 6 am, and let it go, the time announcements should line up with the actual time.
