"Citizen's Radio Call Book" Magazine for March 1927
01
Artifact Overview
This book doubles as a trade publication and hobbyist manual. A mixture of advertisements, tuning information, and articles capture the rise of radio celebrity culture, international expansion, the new structures and themes of radio programming. Radio's impact is romanticized in the cover illustration, depicting Native Americans on horseback staring towards transmission towers perched on a distant hilltop.
