The telegram from the FCC is dated March 15, 1922, and reads, in part, “THE ATLANTA JOURNAL IS AUTHORIZED TO … BROADCAST … STATION MUST USE CALL LETTERS W S B REPEAT W S B AND EMPLOY COMMERCIAL SECOND CLASS RADIO OPERATOR LICENSED BY THIS DEPARTMENT.” One hundred years later broadcast engineers, friends, and colleagues gathered for a barbeque lunch at the WSB transmitter site in Tucker, Georgia – an Atlanta suburb. Kirk Harnack has the pleasure of introducing several of these engineers and station friends on this episode of TWiRT. Among our guests (listed below) is Charles Kinney, Director of Engineering for Cox Media Group, Atlanta.
