Found some broadcast history while cleaning garage!

Post by rfhertz »

I found a small black toolbox among the junk in my garage. Within the box I immediately spotted a Hal Murphy era WCAK FM mic flag! There were also several 35mm slides, dated October 1981. I scanned them, and now share them with you.

I just took this photo of the EV635 and mic flag a few minutes ago.
