you can give me will be extremely helpful, and greatly appreciated.


Perhaps you are already aware of Charles Herrold, who operated one
of the first radio stations (at the corner of First and San Fernando
Streets -- just a few blocks away from San Jose State University) in
the very early 1900s.

There's a sign on that street corner commemorating Herrold, but it
doesn't give much info. Fry's in Sunnyvale has on display pictures
chronicling electronics history, including one of Herrold's radio
equipment and one of his house, which was a small bungalow with a
massive telescope-complete with retractable dome-on the roof. Very funny
looking.
