(We will have all of the Area 51 calls posted on the Sound Clips page soon.) "Midway through the program, during a pretty interesting call, the radio program abruptly went off the air. First it was thought that the content of the callers message, may have caused some powers that be, to pull the plug! But as you are soon to find out, it was the GE Americom satellite going out of "Earth Lock." "These clips are from the C-Band Satellite feed. Since that feed itself is fed from the KU band feed from the network, you will hear the network feed at the bottom of the hour start failing, then later into the program, Art's signal drops out. We present the entire episode here in a Real-Audio, with a transcript of the call and a chronology of events."
