Press Release Body = Toronto Psychic, Betsy Balega, recently made Political
Predictions, on KDKA, Halloween Night, with John McIntire on The Flip Side.

Betsy\'s predictions for the Senate Seat in Western Pa. came true when Bob Casey, Jr.
defeated Rick Santorum last night at the ballot box.

Among her other predictions, Nancy Polosi, will be the first ever, female Speaker
of the House, Duval Patrick to be the new Governor of Massachusettes and Pres. Bush
and Polosi will make nice and proceed to work together in a bi-partisasn way.

KDKA was the first radio station in America.

The events that led to KDKA Radio date back before 1920. Dr. Frank Conrad, Assistant
Chief Engineer of Pittsburgh\'s Westinghouse Electric Company, first became
interested in radio in 1912. In order to settle a $5.00 bet with a co-worker on the
accuracy of his $12.00 watch, Conrad built a small receiver to hear time signals
from the Naval Observatory in Arlington, VA. (Conrad won the bet).

Fascinated with this new hobby, Conrad turned next to construction of a transmitter,
which he housed on the second floor of his garage in Wilkinsburg. The first official
record of this station, licensed 8XK, appears in the August 1, 1916 edition of the
Radio Service Bulletin. The Bulletin was a monthly publication by the Bureau of
Navigation of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the radio licensing agency of that
day. Station 8XK was the forerunner of KDKA Radio.

And as they say, the rest is History.
