This week, Will takes us all aboard The Wayback Machine to the mid 1920's as amateurs were rapidly coming to appreciate that there was something strange and unexpected about the shorter wavelengths. Clearly, it was time to press on downward, but their hands were somewhat tied by the lack of an allocation in this unused, unexplored territory. This is Part One of a two part episode titled, "Onward, Downward".
