Starting with the kitchen AM radio and then branching into the world of FM and high-end audio systems.  I knew the sound was better and I loved to watch the needles of the VU meters bounce around.  Add several family friends who were piano players (2 were professionals and made money).  Thanks to the Internet I’m on a mission to discover amazing music and associated videos.  No specific category\, and no limits as long as it’s beyond the norm.  Some go back over 90 years and some less than a decade. \nEnd the day with 30 minutes of high fidelity with a bit of commentary (not much I promise). \nLeave CHRS with a friendly earworm tickling your brain cells and a smile on your face. \n\n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/329-saturday-music-experience-with-keith-scott/ CATEGORIES:Past END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240601T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240601T140000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T222025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T222025Z UID:10000829-1717234200-1717250400@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:Tube-a-thon DESCRIPTION:We need about 10 volunteers to help us with the backlog of tubes.  We are going to be testing\, sorting\, organizing and setting up boxes in the tube vault.  This will be a fun get together to possibly learn something new\, help CHRS with organization\, spend time with friends\, and help the tube folks make headway with their tube intake process! \nThis event will take place June 1 from about 9:30 or 10 AM until about 2:00 PM.  Please email kim@chrsradio.org to let us know you are coming. \n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/tube-a-thon/ CATEGORIES:Past END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240602T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240602T143000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T222025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T222025Z UID:10000828-1717322400-1717338600@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:SFAF presents Introduction to DIY DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT: You will need to register for this event by May 22\, 2024 as we’ll need to ship the PCB board and electronics to you.

But the weakness of existing manual ciphers meant every country now had their secret messages broken by the enemy! This vulnerability was the driving force for the invention of more advanced machine ciphers and was the beginning of crypto warfare. The Enigma machine was invented during this time and was the first cipher device to use electricity. So\, radio was directly responsible for the resulting explosion of crypto warfare\, which continues to this day. \n  \nThe Nazis used the Enigma in WW2 and had the utmost confidence in the secrecy of their messages\, despite evidence of enemy codebreaking. The story of Allied codebreaking during WW2 is a story of innovation\, intrigue\, and deception. The success of cracking the Enigma was kept secret for 41 years\, until 1974\, despite tens of thousands of people working on the effort in the UK and US. This secrecy is especially incredible for us living in the age of the internet\, WikiLeaks\, and Edward Snowden. Over 35\,000 Enigma machines were manufactured\, but only 400 exist today. \nRalph Simpson Bio: \nRalph Simpson worked in the computer industry for 32 years\, working for IBM and Cisco Systems. He started as a systems engineer for large mainframe computers and held a variety of technical and management roles\, including authoring an IBM Technical Manual on redundant systems.  He retired as Senior Director for Service Strategy at Cisco Systems\, with responsibility for 2\,500 engineers. \n  \nRalph is now retired and volunteers at History San Jose and the Computer History Museum. He wrote a book on cipher history called\, Crypto Wars: 2000 Years of Cipher Evolution. He is also an avid collector of cipher machines\, which you can see on his website\, CipherHistory.com.  \nAuthentic and working German Enigma machine from 1941 & Ralph Simpson in his “home museum” \n \nRSVP here!!\n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/cracking-the-enigma-the-secret-battlefield-of-ww2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240929T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240929T180000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221623Z UID:10000818-1727622000-1727632800@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:CHRS at West Is Best DESCRIPTION:CHRS will be at the West is Best Alameda event.  Contact Kim Brickman to volunteer. \nkim@chrsradio.org \nhttps://www.westalamedabusiness.com/west-is-best \n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/chrs-at-west-is-best/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241005T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241005T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221623Z UID:10000817-1728129600-1728147600@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:CHRS at Alameda Pride DESCRIPTION:Join CHRS as a booth vendor for the Alameda Pride event. \n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/chrs-at-alameda-pride/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241011T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241011T200000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221608Z UID:10000816-1728669600-1728676800@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:From Palace Hotel to the Pacific: The Rise of Maritime Coastal Radio Station KPH DESCRIPTION:Join us at Radio Central\, 2152 Central Ave.\, Alameda\, CA 94501 on October 11\, 2024 from 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM to learn about the Rise of KPH. \n \nThe history of Maritime Coastal Radio Station KPH is also the history of the development of radio communications.\nKPH started as station “PH” at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco in 1905 and as radio communications technology developed the station followed that advancing technology until technology itself put KPH out of business.\nThis history presentation will be provided by Bill Ruck. Bill is a member of the Maritime Radio Historical Society and is active in keeping this station on the air. \nRSVP Here\nBill Ruck Biography \nBill Ruck is a Third-Generation Native San Franciscan and has always been interested in radio\, starting in grade school with the proverbial crystal set. He graduated to his father’s Hallicrafters SX-42 and quickly became a SWL staying up all night. He served in the U.S. Navy as an AT2. While still on active duty at NAS Alameda he started hanging out at radio stations including KJAZ.\nAfter his active duty\, Bill attended the adult Radio-TV Class at John A. O’Connell Vocational School in San Francisco. He became the Assistant Instructor until Proposition 13 eliminated adult programs.  He began working at KFOG as Engineering Manager in 1978. KFOG later added KNBR; and later more stations.  He also helped put KUSF on the air including assembling a composite 3 kW FM transmitter from parts.  Bill has always been interested in the history of radio. When recruited to join the KPH Project there was little arm-twisting involved because one of Bill’s high school friends worked there in the 70’s and they would hang out at the KPH receive site in Point Reyes.\nHe has been a member of the Maritime Radio Historical Society for almost 20 years which operates\, maintains\, and interprets historic Maritime Coastal Station KPH.  Today Bill still is active in broadcast radio\, radio communications\, and radio history.\nBill is a Fellow of the California Historical Radio Society in Preservation and inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. He is a member of CHRS\, IEEE\, SBE\, AES\, and AWA. He is the Chair of the Northern California Frequency Coordinating Committee. \nBill in front of the PW-15 Transmitter \n \n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/from-palace-hotel-to-the-pacific-the-rise-of-maritime-coastal-radio-station-kph/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241025T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241025T200000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221608Z UID:10000815-1729879200-1729886400@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:Stan Bunger Book Signing Event DESCRIPTION:Join us at Radio Central\, 2152 Central Ave.\, Alameda\, CA 94501 on October 25\, 2024 from 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM. \nMeet Stan Bunger and be the first to get a signed copy of his newly released book\, “Mornings with Madden.” \nMornings with Madden: My Radio Life with an American Legend- by Stan Bunger \nAn intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend’s own words \nJohn Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular sport\, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game\, and the man with the highest career winning percentage of any NFL coach. \n​Despite his international fame\, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up\, lived\, and died. It’s where for decades he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind\, tell stories\, and impart his own brand of wit and wisdom. \nIn Mornings With Madden\, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this larger-than-life figure\, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts\, backed up by thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father\, husband\, bad golfer\, dog owner\, lover of roadside diners\, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. \nFeaturing moving reflections alongside Madden’s own words\, this is a treasure trove of wry observations\, self-deprecating humor\, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society\, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the legendary coach to millions. \nJoin CHRS welcoming Stan on October 25 from 6-8 PM.  This event is free to the public\, but please RSVP here so we will have enough books available for those who wish to purchase a copy. \n  \n  \n \n\n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/stan-bunger-book-signing-event/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241026T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241026T150000 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221608Z UID:10000814-1729936800-1729954800@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:Radio Repair Workshop DESCRIPTION:We are offering a basic radio repair workshop.  If you are interested in participating please email Denny Monticelli to be added to the waitlist. \ndennis.monticelli@gmail.com \n\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp URL:https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/radio-repair-workshop/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241026T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241026T161500 DTSTAMP:20260604T131009 CREATED:20260126T221608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T221608Z UID:10000813-1729954800-1729959300@californiahistoricalradio.com SUMMARY:War of the Worlds Listening Event DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 26\, 2024 from 3:00-4:15 PM at the California Historical Radio Society for a special Halloween event!
