There's no "supposed to" about it-- that one is 
actually very thoroughly documented, and the 
career of Charles "Doc" Herrold and his wife 
Sybil (who taught Morse code and was also an 
announcer-- she did a weekly on-air request and 
dedication program)  was the subject of a nice 
little documentary film called "Broadcasting's 
Forgotten Father," produced and written by Prof. 
Mike Adams of San José State University.
