Two-way Radio, Nuclear Anxiety, and the Birth of the Emergency Communications Center
Ғылым және технология
In 1951, The General Electric Company made this movie about how mobile radio could be a part of a local government’s response to a Soviet nuclear attack. Filmed in Syracuse New York, at that time the home of General Electric’s mobile radio business, it shows one of the first examples of what has evolved into the modern emergency communications systems.

I am 78 years old and an amateur radio operator for over 60 years, and remember these days shown growing up then. I am glad to see that amateur radio 📻 still has a role today as with Katrina in 2005 and 9/11 too, losing a fellow amateur, Steve Jacobsen, N2SJ, a channel 11 transmitter operator who died in that day of infamy! Those who perished will never be forgotten. I also was in the Us Air Force, 1969-1973 in SAC.
Thanks. What a cool old film! That was the world I grew up in...
Good to remember.
