The the pie in the sky pronouncements of Dr. H.C. may be best evaluated when
you consider that he is known to be a pie-eyed professor person, as
demonstrated by the attached picture of him.

But Curt, what about Charles "Doc" Herrold who was broadcasting regular,
scheduled programs of music and talk in San Jose in 1910? His wife, Sybil
claimed to be the first female DJ in 1913. His station morphed into KQW and
eventually KCBS. Or the Physics Department of Iowa State University that
carried on regular broadcasting in 1913, even broadcasting from the Iowa
State Fair in 1915? Their station eventually became WOI. Or the University
of Wisconsin station in 1917 that became WHA? I think the difference is
that KDKA had one Hell of a PR man working for them. As I have researched
radio history I have found hundreds of instances like this one. I don't
think it was KDKA, but, ain't we glad somebody did it? By the way, I am
just having fun here, not giving Curt a hard time (it is always hard to
tell in email contacts). Radio historians have been debating this issue
almost as long as there has been radio.
