San Francisco Bay Area Radio

Speaking of radio, I almost forgot to note that Ben Fong-Torres had a great summary of San Francisco Bay Area radio in last Sunday’s Pink section of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Mount Wilson

I flew down to Burbank on Wednesday this week and while driving to the meeting I was going to attend I gazed off in the distance at Mount Wilson. In my youth, I remembered reading about a ham radio station located on the top of Mount Wilson that was remotely controlled from the operator’s home miles away. I wondered whether it still existed.

Little did I know that Scott Fybush has posted almost everything you’d ever want to know about that mountain — and its role in broadcasting to the greater LA basin.

Thanks to Doc for providing some links that took me to Scott’s amazing web site.
