[BC] Continental history

[DHultsman5@aol.com]

We have a similar problem as a transmitter manufacturer.  Continental  
Electronics is celebrating 60 years of building transmitters this year.   The 
company was an outgrowth of the consulting firm of Weldon & Carr and of  the 
experiences of Mr. James O. Weldon in the '30's of working with Bill  Douherity at 
Bell Labs, (Western Electric Broadcast) and later as CE for  Dr.  Brinkley  of 
XERA,  the first 500 kW. Border Blaster.
 
Continental has designed and built some of the most powerful transmitters  in 
the world.  Some being broadcast, some scientific, some radar and  shortwave. 
 Very little of the history is documented.  I have been  trying to get a 
former Continental engineer to try to correlate this information  and write a book 
about CE's history. Especially several of the historical cold  war things 
suck as VOA, RFE and Radio Liberty.
 
There is a book about Art Collins and Collins RAdio Company which Barry  
reviewed some time back which was very informative to me an x-Collins Broadcast  
employee.  There was a lot of history in that book.
 
 
OH Well
