INVISIBLE THREADS-From Wireless to War: SNEAK PREVIEW | INVISIBLE THREADS
Description: The Long Island Radio and TV Historical Society was established to preserve the history of wireless communication, radio and TV on Long Island NY.
LIRTVHS along with The Long Island History Project has cooperated to make podcasts that pertain to Long Island’s rich radio and TV history. So far we have made interesting recordings on the Big Band Era, the RCA giant transmitting station at Rocky Point NY and colorful local radio personalities. This will be an ongoing project of LIRTVHS to document Long Island’s broadcasting past so that we preserve it in an interesting and accessible format for the future. Click HERE to hear our works.
“Distant Sparks” is the translation of the German word “Telefunken”. Telefunken was an early German wireless telegraphy company that owned and operated a powerful spark gap radio station on behalf of the German government in Sayville Long Island. LIRTVHS made a valiant but unsuccessful attempt to save what was left of that Telefunken Sayville property and then named their magazine “Distant Sparks”. LIRTVHS members receive each new issue with their membership.
We have compiled this list of related organizations to make it easy for you to find interesting places to visit and organizations to join without the need to search the web. All of these organizations, like LIRTVHS, have been around for many years and represent valuable resources for those doing research or wanting to get better acquainted with the radio and TV history of our geographical area.
