[edit] Reverted advertisement

Reverted:

<www.Conelrad.com>, is a website dedicated to cold war culture. The site’s founders, Ken Sitz, Curtis Samson and Bill Geerhart share their fascination with what they call “The Golden Age of Homeland Security” by archiving early cold war audio and film and “all its attendant pop culture fallout” on the web. Their survey of the past is a segment of a greater cult tradition that makes mockery of an era of fear and terror, ultimately turning this history into pulp fiction.

This appears to be a straight advertisement for the website in question. While I personally find the site somewhat interesting and amusing, it's certainly not encyclopedic, and in any event has only tangential relevance to CONELRAD itself. If any Wikipedians think the advert is useful, feel free to explain why on this talk page. --Quuxplusone 6 July 2005 20:30 (UTC)

[edit] City's Civil Defense Sirens 30

Does anyone know the meaning of the phrase, "(City's Civil Defense Sirens 30)" in the introductory paragraph? It was added in the edit of <21:44, 3 March 2007 Newsandrumor>. It seems to be a related to CONELRAD's replacement by the Emergency Broadcast System. However, as now written, it is unintelligible to me; a citation or explanation is needed. -rich <Rich Janis 02:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)>

[edit] Removed Youtube link

I've removed a Youtube link to a supposed "Conelrad simulation". It's not an actual CONELRAD test nor is it an even faintly accurate simulation. The creator seems to have adapted a 1980s EBS script for CONELRAD instead of searching for the actual CONELRAD script, which from what I recall was very different. --NellieBly (talk) 07:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
