Happy Friday! This week’s Radio Ink Blast From The Past features broadcast engineer Vern Killion at the main studio board of KLIN in Lincoln, Nebraska, circa 1963.
Vern later became well-known in broadcast equipment sales with Gates Radio/Harris Corporation, and later, Andrew Corporation. Thanks to John King for sending this in.
We love sharing your broadcast memories at the end of every week – we even share the best in our print edition every month – and we want to see more! Carts, Reel-to-Reel Machines, and Turntables in your pictures are highly encouraged.
Send your Blast From The Past story and photo to our Online Editor Cameron Coats for your chance to be featured in Radio Ink.
Enjoyed finding this picture of my Dad, Vern Killion. Vern passed in January of 2020 and I have fond memories of visiting his work, attending NAB and stopping by transmitter sites while on vacations. He always loved equipment sales and made friends wherever he went.
