Also interested and available on archive is the Over the Edge radio series called How Radio Was Done. Don from Negativland goes year by year making sound collage art around what was happening on radio at the time. Some amateur stuff in there!

Amateur radio is humanity's greatest decentralized brain! Those saved manuals preserved the exact tech that proved Earth's ionosphere reflects radio waves. True time capsules.

Looks like this has hit a very interested demographic, server gives status 500, probably overwhelmed. I’ll try again in a few days.

The move from ‘amateur’ to ‘independant’…alongside ‘pirate’ radio? I can only imagine how future historians will measure how this impacted the current challenge of verifying humanity without abandoning privacy. 🤖 🏴‍☠️ 📻

It's Amateur Radio as in the licensed type. Not sure if that's what you meant though?
