Hello, There is more to history than the mainstream narrative. History is as broad as human experience since it is recorded human experience.
I found the talks that Harold Cones has done on Zenith Radio and Eugene F. McDonald interesting. Since I am interested in radio I tend to find radio history interesting. I hope the Fest will continue to have talks on radio-related history. Some things we think are recent actually go back further. They are either forgotten or lost in the sands of time. We did not think the ancient greeks could build complex mechanical computers until scientists figured out the Antikythera mechanism. http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/project/overview Today NPR had a story about the Air Force WASP program. A group of civilian woman pilots who flew military aircraft on the home front during War War 2 to release other pilots for combat duty overseas. Another aspect of WW2 that was forgotten until the late 1970s. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123773525 73 Eric _______________________________________________ Swlfest mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [email protected]?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
