It's a great site. John.  I've been able to harvest a lot of material for my 
new e-book "Connecting The Continent---How AT&T built the Radio Networks."

Subject: [IRCA] Radio Broadcast magazine, May 1922

David Gleason's treasure trove of radio history keeps on growing.

Today, I learned a little bit about Radio Broadcast magazine, a monthly 
that, as I scanned the pages of one issue and read a paragraph or two in 
several of the many detailed stories, I thought I could take several hours 
to read in full many of the stories in this 1922 issue, ranging from a 
thoughtful presentation on the future of broadcasting, speculation about how 
two-way mobile radio telephone could be used by police departments and ships 
at sea for communication, detailed plans on building a receiver, more 
detailed plans, in 1922, on building a loop antenna that bears a striking 
resemblance to the loop plans we see today, plus priceless radio-related 
advertising.

David has placed several issues of this pioneer magazine that teaches me, 
for example, that we DX'ers were known, in 1922, as "receivers."

I've only scratched the surface in my exploration of this one issue of this 
magazine, but I suspect there'll be many hours of fun for me and others. 
Here's a link to the first issue I looked at:
