Summary

Bernard Harte, as a small boy growing up in Brisbane, fell in love with radio and devoted his life to this exciting form of entertainment. When Radio Was the Cat's Whiskers is more than a history of radio in Australia, it is also the story of a pioneer, technician and broadcaster.
Harte has documented the history of radio as he lived it. Research and anecdotes are combined with photographs of days gone by to present this passionate look at radio in Australia. A wealth of personal recollection, from the first long distance wireless communication in Morse Code in 1901 to the opening broadcast of Melbourne station 3LO in 1924. Harte describes the moments that define Australian radio and how his life was changed by being part of the medium.
