Richard Dillman grew up in Westbury and was soon on track for a life pursuing radio history. After getting his ham radio license in the late 1950s, he began unravelling Long Island's radio secrets and visiting the area's important sites: WSL in Amagansett, RCA in Rocky Point, Press Wireless in Brentwood and, yes, the old Telefunken site in West Sayville.

On today's episode he describes the allure of the great stations of radio's earliest days, the ship-to-shore and transoceanic stations and towers that sent Morse code through the air for profit.

His greatest achievement came on the west coast. Founding the Maritime Radio Historical Society, he went on to help save and re-open station KPH at Point Reyes to the north of San Francisco.
