Computers on AM Radio...

I have a question...

Has anyone had their computer "speak" over the radio before? I have a local
(small-town) live radio talk show on one of the local AM stations here
(Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA)... and I had my CoCo3 set up with it's
speech-sound pak and actually had it plumbed in and talking over the air!
(I called it my "co-host")...

I have a lot of Canadian listeners, so this was an "international
incident..." ;-)

Even if someone has done it before, doesn't this now make me one of the
"elite" computer super-gurus, and others should pay homage to me by just
sending me their Altairs and Imsais for free??? ;-)

Gaak... I'd rather have a Vax or PDP, anyway... not that I'll see one of
those anytime soon... :-(

Anywho, just wondered if anyone else has done it... I've *never* been first
on this list yet. ;-)

Take care,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger

Recycling is good, right???  Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
