Conelrad

[Bill Dillane]

>I recall that most Radios in the 60's had the CD symbol on the Radio so
that people could easily find the stations.

I took some pictures of a friend's classic car (62 T-Bird), and set the dial
to the 1240 CD symbol.  Radio picture at

>I thought at one point that no regular stations could be on 640 or 1240
because they were the Conelrad frequencies.

False.  I grew up a mile away from a 1240 tower.  As a young kid I couldn't
figure out how this little station in a small city was going to save us all.
