I just came across my old SWL collection and found a card from Radio
America from the Broadcast Band. I believe they broadcast from Swan
Island. Any info would be nice. What you know about them ?


I remember reading in one of the late 1960's electronics magazines
about a visit by the editor to the facility on Swan Island, after which
the station went off the the air. I think it was Tom Kneitel (sp?)
who edited Electronics Illustrated and also one of the CB magazines (S9?).
(My copies of Electronics Illustrated are buried too deep in storage to
find it any time soon).
