<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;">Hello Bars members,<br></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"><br></span></span>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> During these cold freezing months, nothing like a hot mug of coffee and a good radio book .</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Here are two which two BARS members told me about;</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Crosley : Two Brothers and a Business Empire that Transformed the Nation by Rusty McClure with David Stein & Michael A. Banks.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Among the items these brothers built and marketed were Crosley Radio's, Cars, Refrigerates, founding AM station WLW, as well as building the Voice Of America Bethany Relay Station. A real page turner.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Thank you to Andy Wallace (KA1GTT) for alerting me to this book.</span></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Radio: My Love, My Passion" by Marlin R. Taylor. The author has a love of radio. The book details more with the programming side of things. A fascinating read with a local connection to WBCN and WJIB.....and WRUL / WNYW shortwave. I won't give any more away. I have not finished this yet, but am enjoying every page.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Thank you to Gary Frascarelli (W1GFF) for telling me about this excellent book.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Both are available as e-books if you use a Kindle.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> While not directly related to Amateur Radio, both books are nice reads.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Enjoy and 73,</span></div>
