Radio Tower 5: I Remember Radio with Connie Currie
The Radio Tower is the podcast of the Long Island Radio and Television Historical Society (LIRTVHS). We bring stories of the men and women that work in the field as well as the myths and the machines that made Long Island an early cradle of radio history.
Connie Currie grew up in Hicksville where her father, Roland
Gibson, was the radio/TV repair man at Spiro’s Department
Store. She earned her amateur radio Novice License KN2RBM in
1956 but not without some resistance.
