The power of radio was crucial to opening up Australia to the rest of the world. Its potential for communication was recognised very early in this country, both as medium and message, and could not have been more loved and admired than by Bernard Harte, a small boy growing up in Brisbane in the 1920s, who devoted his life to this exciting form of communication. When Radio was the Cat's Whiskers is more than just a history of radio in Australia, it is about an Australian radio pioneer - technician, broadcaster and master of making - do. Harte has documented the history of radio as he lived it, research and anecdote combined with illustrations from days gone by. Interspersed among a wealth of personal recollections, often highly amusing, he tells of the first long - distance wireless communication in Morse code in 1901, of Melbourne station 3LO's opening broadcast in 1924 featuring one of Dame Nellie Melba's 'farewell performances', of the pedal wireless that transformed life in the outback, and how early broadcasters simulated the sound of bat on ball in the studio as they provided 'live' broadcasts of Test matches.

I worked for Bernie Harte in the mid-50s at Kempsey NSW, and it is interesting to think I had to wait all these years to get the true BH story. Always a font of radio knowledge he had a talent for getting you to think out of the square. He also taught me to improvise, to make do and get away with it. I now know why he knew so much and loved the radio industry so much and poured his creativity into it. The book brings out so much information I would have liked to have known during my early days of a 50 year radio career, but at the time there's tendency for newbies to know it all. A Great read in you have an interest in a real life story with a close connection to the early Australian radio days and an interest in one man's adventures as a radio operator flying from northern Australia during World War 2.Product details
