From the high desert, the great American Southwest, I do all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in the world's time zones, every single one of them covered like a great woolly blanket by this program called Coast Coast A.M.

And I am your host throughout the weekend, and I'm honored and privileged to be doing so. It's going to be an extremely interesting weekend.

We'll see who we can make angry this weekend.

Not in the beginning, though.

Let's first go through a couple of these sort of show things.

Somebody asked me last week to how the program gets from here to there,

how it gets to your

radio you know that kind of thing well the first big giant step that it takes in that direction

is from the uplink facility located here at my house in a closet so for those of you who over the

years have wondered what sends the signal from

here to there there is an associated parabolic dish outside that receives the

signal sent from this stuff that's in my closet and it's been there for I

don't know about a decade or so and I would imagine if that were to be replaced now,

it would be the size of a suitcase or something.

But that is a complete satellite, KU-Band, uplink setup thing

you're seeing in my closet there,

which is where it has resided since the very beginning.

That photograph is on my, on the website, coast-coast-a-m.com.

Simply click on Arts Webcam, and there it will be sitting in its closet,

where if you don't want to look at it or hear it, you can just shut the door, and it's like it's not even there.

Now, I want to promote tomorrow night a little bit.

I'm going to do, it's going to be open lines.
