[FedCom] Two-way Radio, Nuclear Anxiety, and the Birth of the Emergency Communications Center

[Ron]

Thanks Bernie for the info. I remember those duck and cover drills in
school, but after years of experience, I've determined that those wooden
desks didn't offer too much protection from a nuclear blast. Those drills
would have been more correctly represented by the "bend over, place your
head firmly between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye." LOL

Two-way Radio, Nuclear Anxiety, and the Birth of the Emergency
Communications Center Mark Erdle ~ AE2EA

In 1951, The General Electric Company made this movie about how mobile radio
could be a part of a local government's response to a Soviet nuclear attack.
Filmed in Syracuse New York, which at that time was the home of General
Electric's mobile radio business, it shows one of the first examples of what
has evolved into the modern emergency communications systems.

And remember to Duck and Cover.
