[NJARC] Blonder-Tongue and UHF history

[Alex Magoun]

Those of you who remember Ike Blonder and Ben Tongue's attendance at
meetings will be pleased and gratified to see them remembered as
"Perhaps the most pivotal figures in television history that you’ve
never heard of" by Ernie Smith at the excellent blog/website Tedium:

The article includes a link to a terrific website devoted to Ike's
life, in which you can read his amusing recollections of progressing
from DIY radio to the TV and cable industries:
