The Last Days of KRE

Here is the last and very complete tour of the KRE Radio Museum in Berkeley. The California Historical Radio Society, CHRS, lost its lease on its radio museum. Our ten year agreement to occupy historic radio station KRE expires at the end of 2013 and our agreement to purchase the property collapsed following the bankruptcy of the original owner and the unexpected purchase by a company that does not want to sell. Now we are searching for a new location. This tour is narrated by President Steve Kushman.

@ 45:09 FYI the radio indicated is a Gonset G-28 transceiver very popular in the early 60's capable of AM modulation with a carrier power of around 30 watts on the 10 meter amateur radio band. Another popular version also made by Gonset was the 'Communicator' both were widely dispersed across the nation for Civil Defense use..
