W1XAL shortwave station in Boston

[Dan Strassberg]

Donna: If you recall my original posting in this thread, I said that the
door to the WMEX studios/offices at 70 Brookline Ave was adjacent to a door
that (I thought--incorrectly) had the W1XAL calls on it. I now assume that
the calls on the second door were W1XAV. As I reported in the earlier
posting, I later worked with an engineer who, as a boy, had visited the
experimental TV facilities at 70 Brookline Ave. When I wrote my original
posting, I did not recall the name Hollis Baird, but now that I've read it,
I believe that was the name of the gentleman that my former coworker said he
visited at 70 Brookline Ave.
