ECARS has received a
gift from Lloyd Bankson Roach, K3QNT, ECARS #3823,
consisting
of the recording of a historical commercial radio broadcast which he
wrote and directed in April of 1969.
It was broadcast over WERS-FM and
WBZ-AM in Boston, Massachusetts.
It
is entitled,
“200 Meters and Down.”
It has been donated to ECARS for historical
purposes only.
It features amateur radio operators in
the Philadelphia and Boston area including ECARS founding member Jim
Lightfoot, WA1KRN, then VP/Gen Mgr of WBZ Radio. Not
only does it cover Amateur Radio in general but has a generous
discussion about ECARS, its
origin and its purposes.
