      @mattblaze@federate.social I wrote the KGEI article on Wikipedia, mostly based on this source: http://www.theradiohistorian.org/kgei/kgei.html

      Looks like they covered up the KGEI and General Electric relief back in 2002.

      Glad to see it’s back.

        @W1PAC@mastodon.radio ah, I also relied on that site when looking for background on the station.

          @W1PAC@mastodon.radio (they also added a historical plaque, I think from the DAR, which you can barely read in the full res version of the photo).

            @W1PAC@mastodon.radio Here’s a crop of the plaque (upscaled to 200%, with some somewhat mangled auto-detected alt-text)

              @mattblaze@federate.social Thanks for this! I could barely make the plaque in the original.
