The annual YUSA Auction is the station’s single fund-raiser that helps defray the costs of

bringing old time radio’s best to you 24 hours a day. As you know, everyone associated

with the station — DJs, technical experts, Web gurus, etc. — are all volunteers.

All contributions received during the year and all money from the auction pay the bills,

and we are always so grateful for your support.

?

Tonight, we have an interesting collection up for bids, and three great items reserved

for a drawing at the end of the night. We also have several items that are all-nighters —

open for bids the entire night.

?

We’ll start with the all-nighters, and you can place bids by phone, email or in chat.
