What would one hear while scanning the frequencies when stations were just beginning to appear? How exciting it must have been to be involved with such a marvel. These thoughts only came to me in much later years while following a calling in radio. As a youngster, it was much different. Distant voices and music coming from out of the air at the twist of a dial mesmerized. Its entertainment created adventure and new-found friends in a young imagination. As my parents drove by the rural transmitter building of KFAB one night, I looked upward to its three tall towers outlined by red beacons silently blinking in the dark sky. I knew that, amazingly, a flood of words and music was somehow pouring out from those majestic towers, reaching far beyond the moonlit horizon. Later while working in radio I would wonder what it would have been like to play records over the air in the 1920s while tuning and maintaining an early transmitter quietly flinging its information-laden signal to unseen thousands. And, how did this magic in my home town come to be? With this, I embarked on an exploration to see how it all went down for those who traveled this road before me. Research began. Books, then the Internet, and soon a picture formed of what earlier radio professionals endured and enjoyed. Enough so that I could imagine myself running an arc transmitter or introducing scratchy recordings to strangers at unbelievable distances. I also wondered what the AM band would sound like to the early listener tuning around at home. Instead of a band awash with voices and melodies like today, one would eavesdrop on distant broadcast stations mixed with ships and amateur communications, many in Morse code. What emerged is the story of radio broadcasting as witnessed from a singular region’s point of view. Omaha’s setting is an ideal cross-section of Americana, both rural and urban. This region experienced nearly all developments of radio, missing only the earliest round of FM pioneering that was primarily confined to New England. The city also had its share of “firsts” in radio, most notably the move from block programming to music formats forged by Omahan Todd Storz and his 500-watt daytime station. Radio's past is often quite murky with many areas of contradiction and ambiguity. The narrative here details radio’s history as specific Omaha area stations reached the air. This work will show how educators, engineers, businessmen, and talent combined to evolve a medium of entertainment and information in the face of fast-changing technology, commerce, and legalities. Though the narrative is an attempt at comprehensive storytelling, the reader is encouraged to simply look up and/or skip to areas of interest. It’s understood that only portions of this work will appeal to those of various interests in broadcasting and history, with focuses likely on specific themes, eras, stations, people, events, or background material. It is hoped that this work will serve to preserve, enlighten, and satisfy. 6 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Documenting radio’s early years relies on spotty, erratic, and often incomplete and inaccurate record keeping. Assembling a comprehensive history involves piecing lots of puzzle pieces together and then playing detective. The workhorse sources of this project were the archives of the Omaha World-Herald and the dozens of publications preserved in David Gleason’s amazing website AmericanRadioHistory.com. Also invaluable from government sites were the Radio Service Bulletins that best document the incremental changes in a station’s history during its beginning years. Other newspapers to acknowledge are the Lincoln Journal Star, the Plattsmouth Journal, the Wayne Herald, and the New York Times. Numerous periodicals that came and went during radio’s early stages turning up nuggets in this research were Telephone And Telegraph Age, Radio Digest, QST, Radio News (Ziff Davis), Popular Science Monthly (1922 issue), Editor And Publisher, Radio Volume 4 (Pacific Radio Publishing Company), Radio Age Magazine, New Science And Invention In Pictures- Vol 8 (1920 publication), Popular Radio Incorporated (1922, piece authored by Kendall Banning), Broadcasting Magazine, and Rural Radio. Other publications contributing bits and pieces were the Nebraska Blue Book (Nebraska Legislative Council 1915), Central High Register (Omaha, 1921), Nebraska Blue Print (1920), Lincoln Nebraska State Journal (1924), the Antique Wireless Association, the WOW Tower monthly publication, and RADEX (Radio Index for DXers). In the bibliography are Odyssey of the Midnight Flyer by Eldon Vernon Lee, Education’s Own Stations by S.E. Frost Jr, and KMA The First 60 Years by Robert Birkby. Photo and illustration sources outside the author’s collection of paraphernalia and brochures are credited to their source, particularly to the Omaha World-Herald. Most importantly are the individuals whose contributions are acknowledged with gratitude: Michelle Gullett of the Omaha World-Herald, Bill Gonzalez of the Durham Museum, Paul Eisloeffer and Martha Miller of the Nebraska State Historical Society, Larry Walklin of the University of Nebraska, Dick Warner of the Pottawattamie County Historical Society, Jim Timm and Marty Riemenschneider of the Nebraska Broadcasters Association, David Gleason, webmaster of American Radio History dot com, WJAG Historians Mark Smith and Jerry Jaroska, radio engineer, writer, and historian Mark Durenberger, and thesis writer Robert Earl Lee. 7 INTRODUCTION This is one of three volumes on this topic.

    The Broadcasters’ Desktop Resource www.theBDR.net … edited by Barry Mishkind – the Eclectic Engineer High Powered History The History of VOA Bethany By Clyde G. Haehnle [February 2011] Just down the road from WLW was another transmission site with a history that con- tinues to be of interest 60 years after its construction. Clyde Haehnle was among those who built and worked at a site that became known the world over. Adolph Hitler called us “The Cincinnati Liars.” It was a badge of honor we relished as we pumped out over 1.5 Megawatts of RF from a plant in Ohio, purposely built to project American news and views around the world. They were needed. Prior to December 7, 1941 Germany had 68 shortwave transmitters operating on the air, Japan had 42. The United States had but 13. And while Germany and Japan dedicated their facilities to psychological warfare, none of the U.S. transmitters were used for propaganda. The US was ill-equipped to effectively counteract this barrage. At that time the most powerful shortwave transmitter available to the United States was WLWO. Cros- ley Broadcasting operated WLWO’s 75 kW composite shortwave transmitter next to WLW at Mason, OH, broadcasting to South America and Europe. WLWO’s antenna system included two small reentrant rhombic antennas, one aimed at Western South America and one toward Europe. TURNING ATTENTION TO SHORTWAVE In January of 1942 the Coordinator of International Affairs, requested WLW engineers to acquire another shortwave transmitter and design and construct four larger and more efficient antennas to better serve Europe and South America.

Kern is a prospective non-commercial community broadcaster in Bakersfield, California. Kern is supplying this comment to shed light on the reality of how duplicated- and rebroadcast- programming is an epidemic. Redundant and relayed programming is hollowing-out local radio, vastly reducing programming diversity, and frustrating diverse new broadcast entrants. This reply is being filed as a response to National Association of Broadcasters’ (“NAB”) comment stating that diversity has increased on the dail, advocating the lift of the duplication rule. Kern provides proof in this reply that the program duplication rules need to be expanded to ensure local programming diversity and allow for new entrants. About Kern Community Radio Members of Kern Community Radio had desired to pursue a non-commercial, educational community radio station for Bakersfield in 2006 due to the total absence of any local local secular non-commercial radio. Bakersfield, a metropolitan area of roughly 840,000 people, does not have one local-studio secular, non-commercial radio station. That includes no secular LPFM, no local-content NPR station,1 no community station, or no college station. The entire non-commercial FM band except for one station is all relayed via satellite from chiefly religious broadcasters from Texas, Idaho, and Northern California.
