When we first moved to Kelowna in 1960, i had a Knight Kit radio transmitter, a little three pot home-made "board", two cheapo turntables with crystal pickups and a Shure Starlite crystal microphone. I put a big long wire antenna on it and could broadcast to houses within a block. That's also when I started hanging around CKOV, filling the pop machine, carrying the remote console up and down the stairs and doing other odd jobs so I could hang around the "real" radio station.
