Well,it all started out with the Boy Scouts Explorer post troop sponsored by the local AM-FM-TV station. We got to play broadcasting off air in their production studios,and occasionally on the air! We all built kits from Edmond Scientific(I think or something similar)and made our own home studios. There were 20 some odd stations on AM staggered around town split between two frequencies and tied together on a leased phone line(metallic pair)and we all took turns at it. Covered the whole town that way! We would syncronize our clocks and steal the network hourly news from the local station,it was pretty professional all around. I discovered that a tube type am radio made a dandy transmitter by coupling the output of the local oscillator to an antenna and feeding audio into its antenna connection. Crude but effective and probably more than legal output,but what could they do to a 14 year old kid??? Those were the days!!!! Regards,Lee
