I am watching an old episode on I've Got a Secret from 1965, on Game
Show Network, Mr. Newbe was the first DJ on the air, was the guest.
His was 16 and the World's first disc jockey. I wonder if this was the
old KPO San Jose, as I remember seeing an old SRDS book listing KCBS 740
SF, as first
You are thinking of KQW in San Jose - which later became KCBS. KPO became
KNBR on 680. --- There is a plack at the old transmitter site of KQW, now
used by the 1170 AM in San Jose. But before KQW became KCBS on 740 -- KQW was
on 1010 Khz. KTRB in Modesto was assigned 740. In the 1941
They were still blasting in at 6 AM this morning. I
woke up at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep.

Mike,
That is right, it was KQW. The guy showed pictures of the studio and he
was front of the mic (at 16) and all of the antique equip. It looked
really weird. He said the audio quality was bad. They played records
instead of news talk, as the record quality was better and easier to
do. But
Welcome back John. I don't blame you. I would miss the TP/DU signals
too. I remember when I went to Rancho Mirage in Dec 1999 and returned
April 2000, I missed the TP/DU DX. I got up the next morning just to
hear JOUB. hi.

I like that the old KLOK 1170 in san Jose has a plack -- to record that radio

Mike,
Yes, I would like to see the plack. I did not know it was there. But it
was cool to see the first DJ on I've Got A Secret.
By the way, I did record the episode.

Admittedly, I am not 100% sure when the platter type records were first used
(although I have one that I believe was my greatgrandfather's and is dated
1912). Of course before that time, records were cylinders.
The turntables were victrola record players, so the microphone must have

Not necessarily DX but my local WFNI 1070 (ex WIBC) has a unique
overnight program that airs Saturday night May 24th and runs until 6 AM
Sunday the 25th. They replay three past Indy 500's on the night before
the Indy 500, in their entirety. So while you're looking for DX on AM,

1906? According to I've Got A secret, that guy at KQW was the first.
Alan Roycroft (Hawaii) told me once, a lot of people in the past that
got credit for discoveries, were not the first. Edison was an example.
The phnograph was invented earlier for some European. I have no idea if
that is correct
I have about 2,000 78's in my collection. I have about twenty of the old
thick Edison records (flat but thick) that were made 1900-1920. They
can be played by a stereo styllis as the sound is on the sides of the
groove. I also have an old 1903 one sided Victor (I think) of a
conversation of two

That occurred to me, Patrick. R. Fessenden may have been the first to do so
in 1906, whereas the KQW broadcaster was the first to do regularly from a
commercial radio station.
