The California Historical Radio Society contributed hundreds of video and audiotapes documenting various DXpeditions, going back as far as the 1960s (though most from the '80s and '90s.) 80 of these presentations have been digitized so far — check them out at https://archive.org/details/dx-peditions

Ronnie Milsap invites you to his hobby, amateur radio! Circa 1995. https://archive.org/details/ronnie-milsap-ham-radio
"Whatever age you are, you will find excitement using amateur radio.
We have our own satellites, they're called OSCARs.
Or just hook up your computer to your ham radio and meet other people just as enthusiastic as you are."

In the last few days I've digitized and uploaded to DLARC 92 episodes of Ham Radio & More — the radio show hosted by Len Winkler KH7LW. It aired from 1991 to 1997. These episodes haven't been heard since their air date. Interviewees include Bill Pasternak, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Fred Maia & many others. Hear them at https://archive.org/details/hamradioandmore?sort=-addeddate
I have two audio digitizing stations. I'm a little more than half done with the tapes.
I've made several trips to the stereo repair store for cassette decks.

DLARC just got the OK to archive all of Amateur Radio Trader. So: who has issues they can donate? I don't imagine that many people saved their copies like they do they glossy ham magazines.

Just arrived on my desk — 160+ episodes of Ham Radio & More, a radio show that aired 1991 through 1997. These have never been heard since their original air date. I've started to digitize them.
These pictures show just half of the cassettes that need to be digitized!

@npub1d55…5al4 Hello! We would love to include an archive of your Month on the Air notices in Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications.

Today's great manual sort project at the Internet Archive physical storage warehouse was a huge success. About 15 volunteers throughout helped smash through SO much material. All in all we ended up with four pallets of radio or radio-adjacent material that is going to get scanned. We sifted through another 11 pallets of material that we deemed "not radio." We have a few more palettes to sift though, a project for the future.

The folks at the Internet Archive storage facility are unloading the palettes of manuals for tomorrow’s radio manual sorting project. 😳

@npub1y6f…0jcr no experience needed. Please email me, I will give you a phone number to text day of. To Make sure we still need the help that late in the afternoon. kay@archive.org

It's the middle of the week and it's incredibly short notice.
The job has no lifting and is just opening a box, pulling out candidate manuals for radio (we have a guide) and closing the box up again. We might consolidate boxes or otherwise do some shifting so the pallets don't go off balance, but otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward thing.
If you can do this or have questions, please email kay@archive.org
Here are some pix of the material

Want to help Internet Archive's Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications? Are you in or around #Oakland, California? Are you available WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30?
In 2015 #InternetArchive acquired a *massive* collection of manuals, rescued from the closing Manuals Plus in Maryland. The manuals were packed up and sent to San Francisco, awaiting for a day some or all of it would be digitized. That day has come.
We need help sorting the manuals, looking for the radio-related stuff.

Raise your hand if these are your neighbors 🤣 Source: the children's book "Sam's Galactic Bug"
Spoiler alert: the interference is caused by a space alien, not a ham radio

There are thousands of books and magazines in the #dlarc #hamradio library now — but I'm particularly proud that we just added this one. Archie’s Ham Radio Adventure, the 1986 comic book. Read it here: https://archive.org/details/archieshamradioa00unse
