AWA Communication Technologies Museum
The phone in your pocket likely has 3 terrestrial radio transceivers and a satellite radio receiver, which are pretty much invisible to you. How did that happen? The story of radio's evolution begins with an experiment in 1886..........

crystals ARE magic, you just have to hold your tongue just right when you cut them,,, duh
Amazing skills were taught to women compared to before war started (doing babies/keep home clean).Any war changes the present rules for the worst and the best. What will bring wwthree ?! Thanks to Women.
Just amazing vintage radio technology !! ..... Probably a form of effective Space Diversity anti-Fade system....Was it Combined with Frequency Diversity for even Better fade-free reception ??
Back when SSB radios were new and cost a fortune, the wealthy guys were the first to buy them. About 40 hams were in the local club. Everyone showed up for the inaugural SSB contacts. There were people crowding the room and standing outside looking through the doors and windows. As one of the men who was there told me “we did not what to expect. Half were excited and half said it will never work.” I think everything that’s new does that to human beings. 😂
and then crystals go to war
Really cool video thanks! I love this history
What a waste!! Using up all of our gorgeous and precious natural minerals for some bullshit radios for war. This is certainly something these people will be or have been punished harshly for by God.
Now I know why my ex-girlfriend whom is dead Dad who worked for the FBI to NSA the Navy and the IRS and his wife had such a big house all because he used to install radio transceivers😂
Wow....reminds me of my novice days.... All novices had to be crystal controlled. I used toothpaste to rub crystal to raise the frequency a little. Nowadays, I believe there are no more crystal manufacturers in America. Last one closed about 10 years ago or so. My novice radio was an Eico 720. It even had the novice limit of power into the finals marked on the meter, so that us novices had no excuse to be putting out more power than allowed by law.....
wonderful my clocks are locked to you :) (and WWV and WWVB and GPS :) wb5MZO /7
Where’s the CNC machine?
Thanks for the video. Very interesting presentation...
Very good docu.! Thanks and 73 from Sovenia.
I like the radio navigation part of this video but the speculation that AFTER she said she was low on fuel and before they CRASH landed in the ocean they somehow went off looking for another island is ridiculous.
The Telegraph didn't transmit Morse Code, telegraph was totally different than Amateur Morse Code. Ham Radio W5awg ---John Bernays, San Francisco where the Girls are Tough and the Men are Pretty
Actually... Samuel Morse was one of the inventors of the telegraph and Morse code along with Alfred Vail and others. There is no such thing as "Amateur Morse Code". There are various versions of Morse code., amateur radio uses International Morse Code, railroads used to use American Morse Code also known as "Railroad Code".
How unfortunate that many of the women who did an incredible level of Engineering work during the war were relegated to the home kitchen after the war.
i like that there is a Christian missionary radio broadcast transmitter, HCJB on shortwave👍, and i enjoy watching this documentary, interesting history. the video in this channel about making crystal oscilators in 1943 /watch?v=duZlWWwxIPQ _which is also a very interesting part of radio history_ was recommended to me by yt on my yt page, i thought then to have a look into this channel to see what videos else there are and found this documentary video on radio HCJB, I'm glad i found it. radio HCJB is currently transmitting, the frequencies can easily be found on the HCJB website (or on other pages on the net). radio HCJB is currently transmitting in europe on 3995KHz, 5920KHz and 7365KHz 24 hours every day. i recommend to people to get shortwave radio receivers to tune in to Radio HCJB. a good prayer would be for understanding of the written Word of God, the Bible, and of course obediance to the Bible. may God bless all the people who make Radio HCJB transmitt Christian missionary broadcast. ✝
😇👍

wow amazing to see this timedocument, that is how a very important part of a radio is made from beginning to end, the crystial oscilator, interesting to watch. great that people so long time ago in the early 1940s were highly intelligent to build these complex things, the crystal oscilator is to a radio like what a motor is to a car. i would have liked to hear the original sound in that workplace as seen in the video, what the people there were saying. how did they get to know how to build these crystal oscilators as seen, how did they get the ideas for the required research ? can todays engineers build these crystal oscilators like this literaly from scratch ?
How tf do we even figure this shit out??? Like with all the steps and shit how tf do we just come up with this shit??? Wtf???
*Everything begins with a plan. From the plan comes the process.*
I always come back to the state of navigation in 1937 and trying to hit a destination as small as Howland. Not like Lindbergh, who was using cruder navigation, but was aiming at Ireland, with Europe behind it. She missed Howland, ran out of fuel, and RIP. Where? The future may tell.
As an ex tv repair chap I remember this equipment, it was well made.
Fascinating stuff!! Thanks for uploading this
Not a pair of work gloves in sight for the capped workmen. Tougher back then but not as sure-gripped.
Radio has something magical to it. Tubes and antennas feel like alchemy. Totems and wands, crystal balls, voices from far away summoned like spirits. Wizards doing wizard stuff.
I sure hope the plane is found, maybe NW and a hundred miles away from Howland...12,000 feet deep? It just fascinates me. I was a TIGHAR beliver for a long time...now..?
The little bit of information given about the radio signals reported after the flight is intriguing. Do any of the various reports corroborate each other? Did anyone beside the lady in Florida write down what they heard, and are there any documented contents of the messages that add credibility to the reports? The description of very weak and fluctuating signals seems to suggest that one might have a real hard time accurately determining the direction of a null, etc, etc. Did the lady receiving the signals in Florida write down the frequency on which she heard them? Video says powerful antenna in Florida. Any details about what kind of antenna, size, height, resonant frequency, orientation? If working copies of the transmitter exist, how much of the 50 watts (DC input, I assume) would be output power on the third harmonic? Can anyone demonstrate reception of such signals over distances of many miles in multiple directions when transmitted through an antenna like the one atop the Electra at the same height above ground? What time of day were the transmissions on 6 Mhz from above Hawaii to the West Coast made? Many years ago I was a young ham trying to use 15, 40 and 80 meters with a 50 watt transmitter, CW and AM with a carbon microphone, so my experience is relatively close to the reality of the difficulties those fliers faced, so the video brings back memories to me,
I thought from previous examination that the aluminum piece did not match Lockeed rivet patterns, but if it was a non engineered patch, the theory works.!
There is disagreement as to whether or not she had a .iferaft on that last leg.
My Dad was drafted into the Signal Corps for Vietnam so I've been trying to learn more. Something like this makes you wonder who originally figured this out and how many attempts were made for us all to hit that point.
This is amazing! With the advancements in technology now you can actually make this whole Lab at home and there's nothing dangerous about it. You can even make your own x-ray spectrometer with an old cathode ray TV. Just remember that we're not using lead blankets anymore because when the alpha particles slam into the lead they pass through as gamma particles. We found out we were giving everybody doses a gamma radiation when we thought we were protecting them. That's why when you get an x-ray nowadays they don't usually give you the blanket. A softer metal like aluminum in front of a lead shield can actually slow the alpha particles down enough so that they do not emit gamma particles when they hit the lead. Always monitor your dosages of radiation, that even goes for those that fly too much.
I stumbled upon this video looking for some very specific info on the NVA. I don’t know anything about radios but I’ve always been interested in the basic operation of radios, which is still a mystery to me lol Anyways I couldn’t help but think what the difference is with all these radios. Like what’s the technology that separates them and the features that some have and others don’t. Could you make a video on that? But in an extreme laymen’s way
E até hj continuam levando nossas riquezas!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡👩✈️👩✈️

Greetings from Cape Town. Question. How is interference avoided if WWV and WWVH transmit on the same frequencies?
Super informative on getting the "optimum" of what is available and making the effective best of what "practically" can be done.
And all the operators are women!
*That was in 1943, a little over a year since Pearl Harbor...*
Howdy Steve! Have you been able to set up your WSPR rig in the islands yet??? Mr. T., back in Wisconsin
Since the RFI is caused by arcing through the insulator/arrestor I wonder if a sensitive IR camera could spot a bad insulator/arrestor.
I'm not sure folks are so much more sophisticated today. They are still taken in by a slick sales pitch and will let themselves be led to believe things as that contrary to obvious fact.
Outstanding presentation. Thx.
When I was a young ham 60 years ago, I knew an older ham who said that when he was about 15 years old during WWII, he had been listening on his receiver, heard a CQ, and replied, all illegally. At the end of the QSO, law enforcement was at his door. Presumably, he used his own call sign, so that is not as remarkable as the RDF shown in this video. My friend said that he was offered and accepted a plea bargain, spending his time from age 16 to VJ day as radio operator on a USN submarine. That made him somewhat different mentally and emotionally, as we all could easily see. On the other side of the ledger, there were German spies operating a transmitter with its antenna in a barn in Pennsylvania during WWII for whom the US authorities searched long and fruitlessly, and German POW's in Texas managed to do something similar while confined.
We should have used more healing crystals in wars
I used to hear WWVH in Newfoundland and in Alberta. I tried to visit the station in Kauai but that was soon after 9/11 so a visit wasn't going to happen. It is a lovely island, and since I don't like the crowds of the usual tourist spots it suited me just fine. Your discriptions bring back fond memories.
I lived on Maui for 4 years and drove by the old WWVH site a couple times a week. It's now a beach park I think.
I love NIST and it's cesium beam clock..
@donnahalper9110 Fascinating, fun to know stuff. Thanks Donna! I learned a lot from you, as always! 🥰
Most of the work was manual and mechanical. OSHA was not yet born I didn't see any African American people. I really liked this documentary
*Well then as now, AAs were only about 13% of the population. However at the beginning there was one labourer. That's plenty enough for me.*
Oh! It is a very time-consuming technology. 73 ! Thanks for downloading this.
