National Electronics Museum Baltimore - Amateur Radio
ARVN put this piece together for the Ham Nation television program on TWiT.tv/hn. It's a quick look at the National Electronics Museum in Baltimore MD. The museum has a lot of stuff. The video focuses on communications, and ham radio in particular. It features Cliff W4FT and Gary KN4AQ.
The full-scale Spark station is especially interesting (full-scale except for the antenna). No, it's not operational, but it looks like it could be!
If you're in the Baltimore area, take a few hours to check out the museum, close to the BWI airport

WTIC, NBC | V-J Day (End of World War II) in Hartford, Connecticut | August 10 & 14, 1945 | Radio
In mid-August 1945, Hartford, Connecticut, like the rest of the world, anxiously awaited V-J Day, the as-yet undetermined date when the Allies of World War II would declare victory over the Empire of Japan and the end to the global conflict. The Travelers Insurance Company's radio stations, WTIC (AM) and WTIC-FM, engaged directly with the public to broadcast its reactions to developments.
Following the United States dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9, news broke on Friday, August 10, that Japan had offered to surrender with the proviso that Emperor Hirohito would be allowed to remain on his throne. To solicit comments from passersby on whether or not the Allies should accept that condition, chief announcer Bernard Mullins and staff announcer Bob Steele were dispatched to Main Street opposite the Isle of Safety on the north side of the Old State House (built in 1796).
On Tuesday, August 14, President Harry S. Truman summoned the press corps to his office to notify them that the Allies had agreed to accept Japan’s unconditional surrender. The National Broadcasting Company interrupted all programs to broadcast the anticipated news immediately over WTIC and its other affiliates nationwide, with NBC's Washington news bureau chief, Morgan Beatty, relaying correspondent Ralph Howard Peterson’s prompts from a telephone in the White House press office.
Locally, Governor Raymond E. Baldwin delivered a triumphant address from the WTIC studios at 26 Grove Street (Bob Steele Street since 2013). Announcer Floyd Richards described the spontaneous celebration from “a remote corner of [State House Square] at Main Street, Pearl Street, and Asylum Street” before asking his counterpart Ross Miller to interview a member of the crowd. The announcer who introduces Gov. Baldwin and then throws the broadcast to Mr. Richards is likely Pete Stoner.
These clips were compiled for a 1965 program to mark the 1925 founding of WTIC in an anniversary series titled “The Broadcaster at 40,” hosted by Dick Bertel, a WTIC announcer from 1956 to 1977 who has been retired from the Voice of America since 2006.
Although he had frequently appeared on the station as a baritone soloist since WTIC went on the air in 1925, Bernard Mullins (1897-1964) was hired as an announcer in 1935. He performed as an actor, singer, and newscaster before being promoted to management in 1947 and retiring in 1963.
Bob Steele (1911-2002) joined the staff in 1936 and began hosting the daily morning show in 1943, a duty he continued to perform until 1991. He became one of the most popular local personalities in the nation, earning himself a place in the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1995. He continued to conduct his show one Saturday each month until a few weeks before his death and was deeply mourned by his legions of listeners.
Floyd Richards (1920-2011) arrived at WTIC in 1943 and remained on the announcing staff until he was recruited by Pratt & Whitney’s Communications department in 1977. He is perhaps best remembered for hosting “The Hap Richards Show” when Hartford’s Channel 3 was WTIC-TV.
WTIC hired Ross Miller (1925-1994) in 1945. An avid listener dubbed him “Ross the Musical Boss” when he hosted Juke Box Jingles in the 1950s. For a time, he and his wife Betty hosted a show together. He moved into management in 1962 and retired as a vice president in 1993.
Raymond Baldwin (1893-1986), a Republican, was governor from 1939 to 1941 and again from 1943 to 1946. He represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate from 1946 to 1949 before serving on the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors, first as an associate justice from 1949 to 1959, then as chief justice until his retirement in 1963.
Morgan Beatty (1902-1975) reported for the Associated Press from 1927 to 1941 when NBC sent him to London as a war correspondent. He became the network's Washington bureau chief in 1943. In 1946, he took over as editor-in-chief and commentator of NBC Radio's “News of the World,” a post he held until his retirement in 1967.
NOTES:
All of the Joe Sokola and Leonard Hellerman photographs of the V-J Day celebrations were taken in Hartford. The Loew's Poli Theatre appears in the picture of stopped traffic.
This video includes vintage copies of The Hartford Times and The Hartford Courant newspapers.
Constructed in the middle of State Street along the north side of the Old State House, the Isle of Safety was a landmark transportation station for trolleys from 1913 to 1941, then buses before being relocated to the southwest corner of Asylum and Trumbull Streets in 1976. In 1988, it was moved to the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor which launched a fund-raising campaign in 2018 to restore it.
Bernard Mullins interviews a corporal named Pearce or Pierce who had served in Europe.
Bob Steele interviews Natalie Winters, who had recently relocated to Hartford from Charlotte, North Carolina with her two daughters.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Hartford is the capital city of Connecticut. It was the seat of Hartford County until Connecticut disbanded county government in 1960. The city is nicknamed the Insurance Capital of the World, as it hosts many insurance company headquarters and is the region's major industry. It is the core city in the Greater Hartford area of Connecticut.
Hartford was founded in 1635 and is among the oldest cities in the United States. It is home to the nation's oldest public art museum (Wadsworth Atheneum), the oldest publicly funded park (Bushnell Park), the oldest continuously published newspaper (the Hartford Courant), and the second-oldest secondary school (Hartford Public High School). It also is home to Trinity College, a private liberal arts college, and the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his family, among other historically significant attractions. Mark Twain wrote in 1868, Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief.
Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades following the American Civil War. Today, it is one of the poorest cities in the nation, with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty threshold. In sharp contrast, the Greater Hartford metropolitan area is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production and 8th out of 280 metropolitan statistical areas in per capita income.Census estimates since the 2010 United States Census have indicated that Hartford is the fourth-largest city in Connecticut, behind the coastal cities of Bridgeport, New Haven, and Stamford.

Endangered: Merritt Parkway
Even today, 70 years after it was constructed, Connecticut's Merritt Parkway is still one of America's prettiest stretches of road. Spanning 37.5 distinctive miles, the Merritt - celebrated for its diverse collection of Art Deco, Gothic, French Renaissance, and Art Moderne bridges - was the state's first divided-lane, limited-access highway. However, the funding-strapped ConnDOT has not performed necessary maintenance on the parkway, and architectural features of the Merritt's famed bridges are being lost as well as the original landscape design.
