[grc] Branded Transistor Radios as Fund-Drive Premia?

[taproot at lmi.net]

Everyone knows that this first occurred with KPFA- Berkeley during the

radios then so the station gave out little radios with the location of the
signal marked on the dial. There was basically only a few other stations
on the FM airwaves in the Bay Area then. Curt
