SANTA CRUZ ISLAND WEBCAM AND NESTING BALD EAGLES
Well, SBARC's WebCam on Diablo Peak has been upstaged by a newcomer
who as it turns out are nesting Bald Eagles. Soon to become hatching
chicks are getting all the attention and notoriety on YOUTUBE. The
Diablo Peak WebCam will never be the same.

Here is an interesting article I ran across while doing some web research:
THE INFLUENCE OF AMATEUR RADIO ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE COMMERCIAL MARKET FOR QUARTZ PIEZOELECTRIC
RESONATORS IN THE UNITED STATES
By Patrick R. J. Brown, N7KRG
Abstract
In the mid and late 1920s, amateur radio operators were experimenting in great
numbers with crystal control of radio transmitters. At the time, most amateurs
used home built transmitters made from a combination of purchased and home made
parts. The use of quartz crystals by amateurs predated the first U.S. commercial
broadcast station to use crystal control. Amateur radio operators were the first
sizable commercial market for crystals. Many of the crystal companies of the
1920s and 1930s were founded by amateur radio operators to supply other
amateurs.
