How to get rid of long, boring patrols :D

[Armistead]

The only time I kill the radio or gram is when I'm under attack. Course the radio shuts off when dived. Nothing like listening to Tokyo Rose to get the boys riled up. Myself I prefer George and Gracie show...Fred did a great job with all the real radio stations, I think I have half a drive filled with them. Love all the old radio shows, Superman, Lone Ranger, The Shadow....

We used to have a station here in Salt Lake that played old radio shows. I loved things like 'The Bickersons' and the original 'Gunsmoke' with William Conrad. Great stuff.

I'm still stuck in my u-boat phase, but I have all those shows in my drive, waiting for me to get to 1942.

When I was younger, there was an AM station here in Houston that would play old shows on Sunday nights. They'd start with a comedy, then a western, and finish off with a horror/mystery. They'd rotate through several different shows of each type. On Halloween every year, they'd run a block of horror/mystery shows, and play the "War of the Worlds" broadcast. After I went away to college and moved back, they had stopped playing them.

Once SH4 came out and I saw the radio mods being released, I discovered that a lot of those old shows were available on the internet. My hard drive and mp3 players are now filled with a bunch of them. I just can't listen to them while playing the game. A half hour radio show and time compression just don't work well together in my opinion.

I'm sure you remember listening to all those old shows when you were a kid..

Heck, I can remember some of them still on the radio in the late 60's as a kid.

2. The very first thing that happens when a ship is sighted is the record player and radio are turned off. Kill that noise!

Well, maybe, its time to play like when I hear a schiffe on ze hydrofoon, gives me a hard-on ze idea that ze schiffe is about to get a keel schott, ya?
