We can't remember them, but there were the boys with Model T spark coils 
long before Canal Street.  The boys whose amateur experiences enabled them 
to go to sea as radio operators.  And then the broadcasting boom of the 
1920s, when there must have been many more guys building receivers from 
parts than there were interested in transmitting.  Those who listened to 
broadcasting for entertainment, and others who chased broadcast band DX. 
Those who grew up into equipment manufacturing, like Art Collins and James 
Millen and Bill Halligan.  Those brass pounders who provided an immediate 
supply of trained operators when the U.S. entered two world wars, some of 
whom died in the conflict.
