Description
Broadcast control room operators Ken Sanders and Emil Portal use Doc Herrold's invention, the water-cooled microphone, to transmit a broadcast from Herrold's radio station atop the Garden City Bank Building in downtown San Jose. Charles Herrold looks on from the doorway as technician Frank Schmidt monitors equipment. The station was given the call letters FN, and would reregister after World War I as KQW.
