[NJARC] Today's event at InfoAge

[John Ruccolo]

Folks,

Today Cub Scout Troop 66 from Edison, NJ came to InfoAge for a tour.

One of the great things about working these events is how old radios sometimes trigger great old memories for people.

There was an older gentlemen in one of the groups (probably a grandfather
of one of the kids) who was quite intersted in my description of Al Klase's
Korean-era R-392 truck receiver. (FYI, this is basically a repackaged version of the famous R-390 for vehicle use).

He said that he and his buddies were up at 3 o'clock in the morning in Korea listening to the 1953 World Series, sitting outside a Signal Corps truck, which probably used these very radios. He said that he and his friends did not want to hear the re-broadcast later in the day on Armed Forces radio -- they wanted to hear it live.

BTW, the 1953 World Series was between the Yankees and the Dodgers. The *Brooklyn* Dodgers, that is.


Regards,

JR
