roughly on topic: vintage Baltimore radio photos
Took our daughter back to college in DC this week. While in the neighborhood, I visited my father in Baltimore. He showed me a couple of old photos from his radio days as a broadcast engineer at WITH (AM and later also FM) in Baltimore. I thought some here might be intrigued at least by the hardware in the photos, if not the subject matter :-)
This photo shows then mayor of Baltimore, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. (holding the mike) after presenting 'the key to the city' to WITH DJ Jack Gale. My father, running the controls of an Ampex 600, and another WITH radio personality (I believe his name is Les Alexander) look on. The year was probably 1957.
Probably the most interesting facet of the photo for most of us is that nice ol' Ampex R to R! :-)
