[NJARC] Daniella's Debut on NJ101.5 FM Radio

[John Dilks K2TQN]

I remember when Tom was a kid just getting into ham radio.  He 
gravitated into Broadcasting as a radio career, working as a DJ at a 
local AM station WOND.  Tom got involved with IC's and started to 
automate operations at WOND.  Soon he was the engineer there.

I had to (practically) force Tom to get into personal computers.  In 
no time I went from being the teacher to being the student as Tom 
excelled there too.

Tom built and operated one of the earliest Bulletin Board services 
and hundreds subscribed to the service, me included. ACADEMIA.COM - 
loosely associated with Stockton State College.  This was the 
beginning of what we now call the Internet.

Tom has an interesting radio history web site at 
http://www.mcnally.cc/ - you should visit it and see the old 
Tuckerton Wireless Tower.  You can see Tom hanging on to his 
station's tower on the first page.
