David Gleason's treasure trove of radio history keeps on growing. Today, I learned a little bit about Radio Broadcast magazine, a monthly that, as I scanned the pages of one issue and read a paragraph or two in several of the many detailed stories, I thought I could take several hours to read in full many of the stories in this 1922 issue, ranging from a thoughtful presentation on the future of broadcasting, speculation about how two-way mobile radio telephone could be used by police departments and ships at sea for communication, detailed plans on building a receiver, more detailed plans, in 1922, on building a loop antenna that bears a striking resemblance to the loop plans we see today, plus priceless radio-related advertising.
David has placed several issues of this pioneer magazine that teaches me, for example, that we DX'ers were known, in 1922, as "receivers." I've only scratched the surface in my exploration of this one issue of this magazine, but I suspect there'll be many hours of fun for me and others. Here's a link to the first issue I looked at: http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Radio-Broadcast/Radio-Broadcast-1922-May.pdf John Callarman, KA9SPA, Family Genealogist, Retired Newspaper Editor, DX-oyente, Krum TX (AKA Qal R.
