Airtime: 7:00 AM Eastern, with a second segment at 7:15.

Will it be a recorded broadcast available for listening later on as well?

I will be teaching a class that morning so I will not be able to listen in...

Nope. The feed is "live". But that's 6AM in the Central time zone. Your kids must have an early class!

Jim,

After I recorded the interview, I told Roger he HAD to do an article on your FasTrack layout! Have you contacted him?

Traffic unusually heavy for a Thursday so I missed part 1.  Waiting to listen to part II.  

Jon,

Any chance of repeating the interview?

Could someone post a recap of part 1.

Roger mentioned in part 2 that CTT is always looking for leads on layouts for the magazine.  He wants to visit New England again.

I caught the the interview this morning...It's nice to see that our hobby is getting some airtime.

I wouldn't mind setting up a link so that those who missed it can recap, BUT I don't know the legality of doing something like this.  I wouldn't want to cause any trouble.

What do you think Jon?

Did you record it? If so, knock yourself out! Otherwise, once it goes out over the air, it's gone. I do have the original file and an air-check recording, but no way of distribution.

Hi Jon,

Is your recording digital?  If so, I would be happy to try to convert it to an MP3 (if it isn't already) and post it for you at OGaugeWatch and here on the CTT forum.

Let me know.

UPDATE:  Great interview Jon.  For those that want to hear it, Pre-War Times has a link to darianj's recordings.
