I've got a ton of radio broadcasts and I'm trying to put some together as a test for dec 7th and 8th 1941.

I've run into a few issues. Some files are 30 minutes long or longer. Now some people may want to sail out of pearl in real time on dec 7th/8th, but I don't (that is I'm assuming we can leave Pearl on the 7th or 8th). I've got enough 30 minute files to go from 1400 to midnight in real time on the 7th.

For now, I'm ignoring those files and concentrating on files between 10 seconds and a few minutes. I need to get a better idea of how the radio is handled if there are quite a few files in the queue and you use time compression.

Another issue, I've got a small number of radio programs like the Jack Benny show that are 15 to 30 minutes long. Some have news flashes that give away the date, some don't. I'm thinking that adding a second radio station on a different frequency called "Entertainment" or some such name to denote it will just be old time radio stuff might be a nice idea. If we could get a good number of them, you could tune into the entertainment frequency and hear only those shows and play them at set times. Like rerun the same Jack Benny show every Sunday night at 1900 for a month or more. Rerun a different show every Monday night at 1900 for the same period of time. I guess it depends on how many files we have for often and for how many months they need to get repeated.

...or something like that...I'm just sort of rambling on ideas.

EDIT: Unfortunately, Dec. 8th looks like the first day you can be in a boat for a quick mission, and Dec. 10 (maybe 9th too) is the first day you can get in a boat in the career. It's a shame because there are tons of audio files for the 7th and 8th.
