Thanks, Frank. I'd been to Jeff's site but I'd never read the NYC blackout
story. Fascinating!

I pretty much missed out on first blackout what with not being in the area
and in the third grade and all that, but I was a little surprised that the
broadcasters reacted as well as they did back then. Maybe that shouldn't
have been so surprising, though. Stations had more people then and Conelrad
was still a recent memory. And nothing else serves in a crisis as well as
radio.
