Re: Need Advice

I think that Hardin Optical advertises on Coast To Coast AM with both George
Noory and Art Bell, right?

Sometimes I listen to those guys when I am up late but most of the time they
seem to have guests that are a bit too far out for me.

I always wondered about their sponsors. It seems appropriate to have a
telescope mfg pitching on the show I guess....
