I have several 6-1/2" Wilcox-Gay "Recordio" paper based discs with recording 
dates from the fall and winter of 1939 that are in excellent condition and 
surprisingly good sound quality. 

Two contain an off-air recording of "His Majesty King George IV Christmas 
Greeting 1939."  Was this rebroadcast on an American network?  There is some 
fading but much less than I would expect from direct SW reception.

Another disc is labeled "Miracle Power - Del Rio Texas Radio Station 
10-20-39."  It sounds like some kind of faith healing or snake oil pitch.  Anyone know 
anything about the program or the station?
