[Boatanchors] Tuning Your BCB Radio in the Late 1930s

[howard holden]

Back in NJ from the late 90s through early 2010 our local club did a bunch of restoration and other work aboard the USS Ling SS-297 at the NJ Navsl Museum in Hackensack. One of our first restorations was the RBO in the crew mess. On Saturday mornings we’d keep the RBO tuned to WVNJ AM 1160 which had a big band/oldies program on Sat mornings. Great music through a great radio in a great setting.
