Thorn Mayes, W6VX, spark gap recordings.

 Let this play through, it gets more interesting as time goes on.
 Repeat and copy the other stations on 600m. This is how it was done
 in Spark Days!

 Thorn Mayes, born April 19, 1903, graduated from the University of
 California in 1927 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. He was an
 avid amateur radio operator, working W6AX, W9AX, 6BDQ, 6AX, K6BI,
 K2CE, and W1CX under the handle “Thorn.” He became interested in
 recreating the history of the three main, early, commercial wireless
 stations on the West Coast. KPH, which I think is by far the most
 important of all; KFS who was a competitor, and NPG, which is
 sometimes called the NAA of the West Coast because of the similarity
 in transmission equipment used at NPG and also at NAA.
 
 In this recording made in 1970 and 1985 we hear giants of the early
 radio days recreate the sounds and the procedures of the time when
 spark was king. Thorn Mays, Commander Frank Johnstone and Frank
 Geisel all appear on this narrated recording. Get out your mill and
 copy along. Special thanks to Gregory DeMascio, sound engineer at
 KWMR, for his help with this recording.
