I came across this interview with Harold Beverage, inventor of (among many other things) of the antenna that bears his name. I liked his description of the personalities and design methods of some the people he worked with (including Ernst Alexanderson).

I really enjoyed that, thanks! It is a shame that he didn't remember the hams breaking through the 200 meter barrier, showing the way to Marconi. His antenna experiment tales are such fun. To have miles and miles to string the wires! 73 de KC7IT
