L a w r e n c e T e c h M a g a z i n e 7 Amateur radio taking off - again - at Lawrence Tech

L ong before the internet, radio was the first technology allowing truly global communications.

Amateur radio uses “skip propagation” – the property of radio waves to bounce between the earth and the ionosphere, an elec- trically charged layer near the top of the atmosphere, 40 miles or more up – to send signals far past the horizon. The Lawrence Technological University Wireless Society, with an assist from the Hazel Park Amateur Radio Club, intro- duced the hobby to a new generation during LTU’s spring 2016 Exploration Day for high school students. Jerry Begel, education coordinator of the Hazel Park club, and club member and LTU alumnus Ken Redcap, gave six presentations during Exploration Day that emphasized the theme of the American Radio Relay League, the national association for amateur radio – “We Do That!” The presentations explained how amateur radio operators maintain communication in emergencies – radio still works when other communications systems fail – and how they learn about technology and electronics to have fun communicating around the world. The students also learned about how ham radio has evolved from vacuum tubes to technologies like software-defined radios and programmable controllers. This 1950s-era QSL Card was sent to Said Begel: “We hope that other amateur radio operators who our presentations will pro- also had communicated with LTU. The original mote amateur radio to a new generation of hackers, makers, and engineers.” The Hazel Park radio club has about 90 members – more than a few of them, Begel said, Lawrence Tech alumni. And over the past two years, the club has been “Elmering” the fledgling Lawrence Tech Wireless Society. (“Elmer” is a ham radio W W W slang term for a knowledgeable person who Also includedorld was information on recentide amateur radio mentorseb beginning amateur radio operators.)

adio was the internet of the 1920s and ’30s, creating fortunes R and spawning innovation the likes of which the world had, never seen before. So it makes sense that a technology-focused school like Lawrence Tech would dive in quickly. And it did. The 1938 L-Book yearbook contains the first mention of the Radio Club as “one of the newer activities at Tech, one which is growing rapidly.” The yearbook says the club was organized in 1936, just four years after Lawrence Tech’s founding, and obtained a license to broadcast shortwave radio under the call letters W8QOA. Transmit- ting and receiving equipment was set up in the south wing of the original campus building in Highland Park. By 1938, the L-Book noted that the club had 25 members, including both day and evening students, as well as LTU alumni. The club offered day and evening classes in radio theory, radio servicing, transmitter design and construction, and Morse code. By 1941, the L-Book noted that the Radio Club, “can rightfully take its place as a veteran among school organizations.” The club also took the 1941 Founders Day Cup for most interesting exhibit. In 1942, the L-Book noted that World War II brought new restrictions on amateur radio that had resulted in the disband- ing of the club. But it was right back in 1943 – working with the federal Office of Civilian Defense to help establish “WERS, the War Emergency Radio Service, which developed networks of ultra-high-frequency stations at strategic positions in cities around the country,” including Detroit, in case of an enemy air raid or invasion. And showing that no national emergency is so serious as to rule out puns, the L-Book noted that “the radio amateur picture paradoxically brightened by going from bad to WERS.” The 1947-48 L-Book noted that the Radio Club was reorganized in 1946, and now boasted a 400-watt transmitter, strong enough We hope that our presentations to bounce shortwave signals around the world. “ Lawrence Tech wasn’t just a pioneer in radio. The 1939 L-Book contains the first mention of the Lawrence Tech Television Society will promote amateur radio to (LTTS). The L-Book said that the LTTS was preparing equipment to broadcast a 500-watt signal at 112 megacycles – just above a new generation of hackers, today’s FM radio band, which lies between the old analog TV chan- nels 6 and 7.

He said going to Lawrence Tech “was the second most important thing in my dad’s life … My dad would tell you the most important was meeting my mother. But going to Lawrence Tech changed his life, changed our whole family’s lives.” After graduation, Donley became one of the ﬁ rst 12 employees of Air Products and Chemicals Inc., then based in Detroit, starting as a draftsman.

But eventually, she said, reality set in. “I decided to switch to something where I could get a job, so I switched to engineering,” she said. “It was a shock to my system. The class sizes were huge, and I struggled, and my advisor there said I wasn’t cut out for engineering. I said if my mom can do it, I am cut out for engineering.” So Kimberly – along with LTU faculty members Ken Cook and Jerry Cuper – advised Leanne to transfer to LTU. And that’s just what Leanne did. And now she’s a proud LTU alumna – and employed as an associate engineer at Advics, a brake systems supplier in Plymouth. “It was just really welcoming,” Leanne said of Lawrence Tech. “Everyone was really eager to help me succeed. There was no competition between students. Everyone in my classes, and all my teachers, were trying to get us all to a good place.

NOMAS-LTU was established in 2014 and now has 15 dues-paying members. It has been closely collaborating with the professional chapter of NOMA Detroit, which is moving its offices to the Woodward Willis Building in Midtown Detroit where LTU’s Detroit Center for Design + Technology is located.
