well after I had gotten the cameras I went hunting the station...
there is a station in Charleston, SC with a real call sign that the
West Chester had adopted for a name... they could do that because West
Chester was not over the air... they were cable on campus... heh! I
pestered people at the TV station but I soul have realized they
would not have been using a DAGE camera at a formal broadcast on the air
station.

Small world !!
I knew a guy who did part of his student time as WCSC, Looking
back it was also well funded. My guess due to its work work education.
I now remember some of classrooms for the kids had camera in them
but hidden.

The class was not for me :-). It was the early 70's. The school was part of
the local college (now university). West Chester State. The school was
part
of the colleges teaching research, called the DEM or Demonstration School.
The new DEM building was also the computer science center. I got access
when
I was 15. In those days all you needed was to know someone and not be a
jerk.
The only door I remember being locked was the room with the HP and the 360.
The code to open the lock was 123.
The grade school kids who got to go where picked from the local area, the
names
were put in a pool, and picked at random.
Being such a project, the school and the comp sci department had a lot of
toys
a college would not normally afford, along with the HP the IBM 360 was a
/45
quite the machine for a small school.
Back to the HP, not sure what it started out as, but I remember in the
later 70's
it was a 2116 with at least one disk, not sure if the O/S was on a
Head-per-track
or not. The modems to the outside were WE's. The library had a 35. In one
of
the dorms was a 33 can't remember if it was a KSR or ASR. Never saw the
others.
