The Boston Post and Boston radio

[Ted Larsen]

Here is are fascinating bits of info on Boston's first TV station, W1XAY and 
it mentions Donna.
Perhaps she wrote it. Does anyone know if the Boston Post mention is 
correct?  "With 48 lines of res. and 18 fps," it must have been viewed with 
homemade sets with tiny screens.
