Boy Scouts and Early Radio
This WONDERFUL news story aired a number of years ago.It is about an OM (old man, slang for ham radio operator)
who, as a young Boy Scout, built a spark gap transmitter
and crystal radio as found in his early century
Boy Scout Handbook. He ended up being among the first to
hear voice transmissions on the air in what eventually led
to the nation's first commercial radio station.
If you are a member of Boy Scouts, take my word for it,
you'll be glad you took the time to listen to this:
