Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) July 8, 2006
On Saturday, July 15, the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS) will be holding its annual “Live! At KRE” public event on the grounds of the old KRE radio station building near Aquatic Park in Berkeley.
Although thousands of Bay Area commuters pass by the old radio station every day — you can’t miss the 400-foot tower off Interstate 80 at Ashby Avenue — only a few have had a chance to look inside. Now, CHRS has renovated the nearly 70-year-old building into a broadcasting museum, filled with vintage radios, televisions and studio equipment, as well as a working amateur radio station, radio repair shop and broadcasting library.
Bay Area radio legend Carter B. Smith (KSFO, KABL) will host the event, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 15. Also on hand will be members of local radio’s famed Broadcast Legends (http://www.BroadcastLegends.com) plus live bands, an auction and flea market featuring antique radios, tours of the KRE building and an Edison Cylinder concert. Admission is $ 5 for adults; children under 12 are admitted at no charge.
For the record, the old KRE building continues to house the transmitters for two local AM stations, and George Lucas filmed the scenes featuring Wolfman Jack in “American Graffiti” at the station.
CHRS President Steve Kushman, who spearheaded the KRE renovation project, is available for interviews, photographs and media tours in the week leading up to the event. In addition to his role with CHRS, Steve is a news editor at KGO-TV (Channel 7) in San Francisco.

Fremont, Calif. (PRWEB) April 11, 2007
SchmartBoard, the developer of a new technology that has significantly simplified the creation of electronic circuits for hobbyists, education and industry, has signed up to exhibit at the May 2007 Hamvention in Dayton, Ohio.
SchmartBoard|ez prototyping boards allow virtually anyone to hand solder surface mount components easily, quickly and flawlessly. Prior to the development of this technology in late 2005, few people had the dexterity to hand solder surface mount components with pitches as tiny as 0.4mm.
“People can not believe how easy it is to hand solder surface mount components with our product unless they try it for themselves,” said Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoard’s vice president of sales & marketing. “After receiving many e-mails and having conversations with radio enthusiasts who have used, and been very happy with, SchmartBoard, we decided to invest more time and resources to make sure this important niche is aware of the benefits SchmartBoard can offer.”
SchmartBoard will be at booth 218 at the show, which takes place at the Hara Area in Trotwood, Ohio. Visitors to the SchmartBoard booth will be able to try their hand at soldering a surface mount component using SchmartBoards “ez” technology. They will also receive the souvenir board that is also a key ring. SchmartBoard will also have a contest for attendees to win SchmartBoards.
About SchmartBoard (http://www.schmartboard.com)
SchmartBoardTM is committed to helping engineers, students and hobbyists develop electronic circuits faster, easier, and less expensively than previously possible. SchmartBoard’s patent pending Electronic Circuit Building Blocks makes this possible. SchmartBoard’s “EZ” Technology makes the soldering of surface mount components accessible to virtually anyone.
