Subject: A Very Interesting Old Time Radio Show About Ham Radio

I just found this show called Cavalcade of America. The episode is called 
"Minute Men of the Air," and it is a drama about the beginning of the ARRL. 
There is a blind character named Tommy who gets his license, and handles 
some emergency traffic during a flood.

The most interesting thing to me is a chat at the end with Bob Gunderson, 
W2JIO, when he was 18 years old. As many of you will remember, Bob founded 
and edited the Braille Technical Press from 1950-1973.

The link to the show is:

I hope you enjoy listening to this piece of history.
