Since I did the Saturday evening oldies show, it was my responsibility to represent the station at this event by broadcasting my program in this tent rather than back at the station's studios in Bridgeport. This was the one time when I had to learn how to use totally unfamiliar equipment REALLY fast! In the evening, we also aired a live performance of the Tom Tom Club, a local Connecticut band which contained members from the Talking Heads.
In het algemeen gewaardeerd door het (winkelend) publiek, is deze Amsterdamse 781 ook dit jaar toch weer een onderwerp van discussie voor sommigen omdat de reizigers aan boord van deze Sky Radio-tram niet onder het geluid van deze zender uit kunnen. Dit klinkt gewoon door de speakers binnen in de tram. Dus niet iedereen komt hier kennelijk goed gemutst uit...
Generally spoken the appearence of this Xmas tram is appreciated by the (shopping) public. As always this Amsterdam 781 - yet again - is a topic of discussion for some, because the travelers aboard the Sky Radio tram are forced to listen to this radiostation. This because of the simple fact that the speakers inside the tram bring out music all the time.

"Pomeroy's Juvenile Hour. WEEU. Bernie, program director. Photo by Pomeroy's."
Pomeroy's was a department store that had locations in Reading, Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre, and other Pennsylvania cities. This real photo postcard, which shows the Reading store in the upper left-hand corner, was used to advertise Pomeroy's Juvenile Hour radio show, which debuted sometime in the 1930s. Various local radio stations carried the show, including WEEU in Reading and WHP in Harrisburg.
Pomeroy's ran ads for the Juvenile Hour in newspapers, too, as this excerpt from the Harrisburg Telegraph, Sept. 29, 1932, p. 8, demonstrates: "Pomeroy's, 'Harrisburg's Greatest Department Store,' Saturday, 9:30 a.m. You are invited to attend our first 'Juvenile Hour' radio broadcast direct from our broadcasting studio on the third floor. See and hear Harrisburg's future radio stars as they broadcast over radio station WHP. These performers are all between the ages of 2 and 12, and you'll marvel at their exhibition. If you are unable to attend the broadcast in person, tune in at 9:30 Saturday morning on station WHP and you'll get an hour of radio sunshine and happiness that will thrill you for a long time to come. Pomeroy's 'Juvenile Hour' will be on the air every Saturday morning, 9:30 to 10:30."

Reminds me of the 1973 hit tune by the Three Degrees, "Armed and Extremely Dangerous!".
I've placed some Flickr notes on the photo for more details.
This is the only remaining copy of the original print. The photo and text were published in the 1979 yearbook in the section describing all the student activities which were available. I honed my radio skills at WRNU which later resulted in a 19 year weekend gig on a Connecticut 10,000 watt station.
That was a plastic pellet toy gun which was almost always present in the studio. Being young and dopey students, we used to occasionally "shoot" our fellow DJs with thin, green plastic disks when they were on the air. It was all in good fun.
The TAB Building in Albion was designed by the now-retired Queensland architect Geoffrey Pie in conjunction with Hall Phillips and Wilson Architects (now Phillips Smith Conwell Architects). It was a government funded project during the mid-1970s.
Pie received the Robin Boyd Award for residential architect for his own home in 1986 and was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2014.
The TAB Building was the recipient of the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture from the Queensland chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects in 2007. In its award citation, the jury praised the building for having “weathered generations of reaction to, and subsequent re-embracing of, the principles of functional modernism.”
The institute, led by then-chapter president Richard Kirk, lodged an application with the Queensland government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection to have the building placed on the State Heritage Register in September 2015. The bid was rebuffed the following year.
“The [building] is a fine surviving example of Late Twentieth Century Brutalist architecture, which is located on the city fringe of Brisbane,” reads the institute’s application.
“This ten storey commercial building has enjoyed a certain degree of public notoriety as a local landmark for Albion since its construction. Although the building is only around forty metres in height, its comparative scale against the late-nineteenth or early twentieth century commercial architecture of the adjacent Albion centre generates a considerable visual presence for the (former) TAB Building in this locality.”
As the tallest building on an arterial road, the building was “a solitary, prominent, forward scout for modern urban architecture in the middle ring suburbs.”
Although heritage protection for the Albion TAB Building was rejected, the company behind the Hudson Common project intend to repurpose the existing structure in their multiuse precinct of residential, commercial, and corporate.

I´ve changed the colours from black to a more look like cupper in On1 Effects, and then some increased orange and decreased blue and green in Lr5.
Radio Kootwijk is een voormalig zenderpark op de Veluwe dat in de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw een belangrijke communicatieverbinding vormde tussen Nederland en zijn toenmalige koloniën, met name Nederlands-Indië. Het werd gebouwd vanaf 1918
Radio station "Kootwijk": in the period 1920-1922 mainly for the radio and telegraph connection with the former Dutch East Indies, to design (1919) by architect J. Luthman with the cooperation of builder J. Emmen, in entirely (reinforced) concrete built radio station, whose architecture can be counted to the symbolism with elements of the Amsterdam School architecture and German Expressionism.

Auf Anregung eines niederländischen Radiomoderators spielten zahlreiche europäische Radiostationen das Stück in der Version von Gerry & the Pacemakers gleichzeitig in ihren Programmen.

Es beteiligten sich Sender in den Niederlanden, Deutschland, Finnland, Rumänien, Österreich, Spanien, Zypern und zahlreichen weiteren Ländern.
While Thomas and I were prowling the streets of town looking for photo targets, we decided to drop in on KVMR the local radio station. As you can see, they were only too happy to see us. We were peaking through the studio window when the morning DJ waved us right into the control room to frolic and cavort with him and his guest. At the time, they were broadcasting the weekly show that showcases Native American Indian music. Guess which person is the Native American Indian?

Außerhalb von Groß Berkel wurde im Jahr 1990 die viertgrößte Erdfunkstelle Deutschlands eröffnet. Sie ist mit ihren drei 15 Meter großen und den drei weiteren neun bis elf Meter großen Parabolantennen schon von weitem sichtbar. Nachdem sie von der Deutschen Bundespost eröffnet wurde, wechseln seit einigen Jahren regelmäßig die Betreiberunternehmen. Derzeit wird sie von CET Teleport betrieben.

The slide is titled 'Goonhilly Radio station (Telstar)'
In the early 1960's this was the very latest visible sign of the new world and it was a thing to stop and see and get a picture taken in front of it. It seems tame now but it was not at the time!
Telstar satellites one and two were launched in 1962 and 1963 respectively. They still orbit the earth today but no longer function, the satellites relayed TV pictures and phone calls, they provided the first live transatlantic television feed.
Goonhilly Downs is on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall.
For those of us at a certain age "Telstar" was also an instrumental hit record by English group The Tornados, sadly I can still hum it now...

A little while back I won a goody bag from Trans Radio UK - the online trans radio station that several of my friends do radio shows for.
Anyway, among the goodies were this t-shirt and mug so here I am modelling the t-shirt whilst enjoying a lovely cup of Yorkshire tea!
Thank you Trans Radio UK!

The description in the tourist guide sounded interesting but to get there was a bit harrowing - descending down a steep single lane dirt road carved into the mountain side - seemingly in the middle of nowhere. A good rainstorm would have washed the road away. It's called Pointe-a-la-Renommee and was the strategic communications center during two world wars, where Mr. Marconi established North America's first maritime radio station. It was nearly deserted when we visited but security was still tight - the teenage guide unlocking/re-locking the doors as he showed us around and doing his best with very limited English. For us visiting such a pretty spot was the highlight of our day.
