Radio Tower #9: Radio and World War One
Manage episode 310720516 series 3070153
We were at the Sayville Public Library on Nov. 10th commemorating World War I and its effect on radio history. You'll hear from documentary film maker Joe Sikorski on his latest project chronicling the Telefunken site in Sayville. Built, owned and operated as a German radio station, Telefunken played a pivitol role in the United State's entry into the war.
We also talk with LIRTVHS board member John Vuolo on a unique piece of radio equipment we recently added to our collection. Radio was one of the cutting edge technologies being adapted by the military in World War One, even to the point of bolting receivers into biplanes.
