  • Valves Were Expensive in the Early Days of Radio and So Designers
    By RODNEY CHAMPNESS, VK3UG would become gassy. Occasionally, even today, a valve with a purple glow inside it will be seen and this is often an indication that the glass to metal pin seal is not perfect and air has leaked VICTORIA into the valve. Incandescent light globes were the first items to have metal pins or wires protruding through a glass envelope. However, this created no real problem, since the vacuum created was satisfac- tory for their operation and the glass- to-metal seals were not as critical. In some cases, the globe was filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen to prevent Above: the Kriesler 11-41 was a popular evaporation of the filament. 4-valve reflex receiver from the 1950s.

  • The Don Lee-Columbia System
    THE DON LEE-COLUMBIA SYSTEM: By Mike Adams 111 Sutter Street was not the only network broadcast address during the thirties. The other was 1000 Van Ness Avenue, the Don Lee Cadillac Building, headquarters for KFRC and the Don Lee-Columbia Network. It was there that another radio legend was born. Don Lee was a prominent Los Angeles automobile dealer, who had owned all the Cadillac and LaSalle dealerships in the State of California for over 20 years. After making a substantial fortune in the auto business, he decided to try his hand at broadcasting.1 In 1926, he purchased KFRC in San Francisco from the City of Paris department store. The following year he bought KHJ in Los Angeles and connected the two stations by telephone line to establish the Don Lee Broadcasting System. From the beginning, Lee spared no expense to make these two stations among the finest in the nation, as a 1929 article from Broadcast Weekly attests: Both KHJ and KFRC have large complete staffs of artists, singers and entertainers, with each station having its own Don Lee Symphony Orchestra, dance band and organ, plus all of the musical instruments that can be used successful in broadcasting. It is no idle boast that either KHJ or KFRC could operate continuously without going outside their own staffs for talent, and yet give a variety with an appeal to every type of audience.[2] In 1929, CBS still had no affiliates west of the Rockies, and this was making it difficult for the network to compete with its larger rival, NBC.

  • Media Announcement
    MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BAY AREA RADIO HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES FIRST CLASS OF HONOREES San Francisco (October 4, 2006) — The Bay Area Radio Museum is proud to announce the first group of inductees into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The selections were made following a year of study during which input from broadcast professionals, fans and historians was weighed to establish criteria and nominees for enshrinement. Among the first inductees are pioneers from the earliest period of local radio development nearly a century ago, as well as popular personalities from the modern era. Many of the names, such as Don Sherwood and Tom Donahue, may be instantly recognizable. Others, such as Colin B. Kennedy and Harrison Holliway, may be less so. In either case, it is hoped that the creation of the Hall of Fame will help to honor the men and women who have made Bay Area radio so popular over the years, and will make their names and accomplishments known for generations to come. For the near future, the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame will exist primarily on the Internet at www.barhof.com, although a permanent exhibit is planned at the old KRE radio studios in Berkeley, which are being refurbished by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame is spearheaded by the Bay Area Radio Museum, which is an affiliate of the Broadcast & Newspaper Museum of Northern California consortium, which also includes CHRS and the Broadcast Legends. The radio museum was founded in 2005, and currently presents archival broadcast recordings, photographs, documents and historical essays on its website at www.bayarearadio.org.

  • Hugo Gernsback and Radio Magazines: an Influential Intersection in Broadcast History
    Journal of Radio Studies/Volume 9, No. 2, 2002 Hugo Gernsback and Radio Magazines: An Influential Intersection in Broadcast History Keith Massie and Stephen D. Perry Hugo Gernsback's contributions to the devetopment of early radio have gone largely unheralded. This article concentrates on how his role as the most influentiat editor in the 1920s radio press inftuenced earty radio experimentation, regutation, growth, and poputarization. His pubtications promoted radio among hobbyists and novices, but also encouraged experimenters and innovators. He often described ways in which radio could be improved down to the publication of technical diagrams. He built his own radio stations where he tested many of the innovations his magazine promoted. Gernsback's greatest personal satisfaction derived from encouraging broad experimentation that enhanced scientific development. The story of broadcasting involves an amalgam of people who influ- enced its development and direction. Names like Guglielmo Marconi, David Sarnoff, William Paley, Lee De Forest, Reginald Fessenden, Frank Conrad, Alexander Popov, and others have become well known for their work in inventing, developing, and promoting pieces of the puzzle that became the medium of radio. Others have remained no more than historical footnotes. One person who has been little more than a foot- note in broadcasting but whose fame lives on in another area is Hugo Gernsback, the father of science fiction and namesake of the Hugo Award for science fiction writing.^ Yet he may have been one of the most influential figures in promoting radio experimentation and adop- tion by amateur hobbyists in the 1910s and 1920s, and in campaigning for regulatory directions for radio in the days before the establishment of the Federal Radio Commission.

It could be a dog barking a warning, a cat arching its back, or crickets chirping, animals are always sending messages to each other. • Animals and plants react to stimuli which might come from other living things or from the environment. A stimulus usually causes the organism which receives it to respond to it. Animals use all their senses to communicate. • For example, some male birds develop colorful plumage so that the females will be attracted by a visual stimulus as well as by sound. • Bees (dogs) communicate by means smelling (sniffing). • Dolphins communicate through sounds. 4 • The signals which an organism uses can be visual (sight), sensual (touch), auditory (sound) or chemical Marine mammals establish contact with specific individuals using short-range vocalizations. The most singular example of marine mammals using sound to make or maintain contact is between mother and offspring.
