The video charts the early development of radio in Massachusetts and New England and contains coverage of 100th Anniversary of Reginald Fessendens first voice broacasts.

Amateur Radio is prominently featured near the beginning and towards the end of the broadcast.

It is an excellent programme and well worth watching.
