Locally interesting

Just a couple of ‘locally interesting’ pictures from a newly uploaded station brochure at American Radio Library.

Here’s Frank Edwards in 1946, just before he went national on Mutual.

This one is more meaningful in a Shannon way.

The SCR-268 was the first American radar equipment. When I was reading up for my tech history piece, online info indicated that the SCR-268 was tried out before the war but replaced by a more compact version. This picture shows the SCR-268 in active service in Italy.  (I don’t know why WIBC decided to include this pic; it has no connection with broadcasting or Indianapolis.  But I’m glad they did.)
