Adair County's other first radio station

By JIM

In the mid-1920s, radio was still quite a novelty. When the Chester Harrison family purchased one in the late winter of 1925, the Montpelier correspondent to the Adair County News (probably Mr. Jan Vetter Dudley) deemed it newsworthy enough to devote a number of lines to the event:
"Chester Harrison, who resides near this place, has installed a new radio set which works fine and makes his place the center of attraction for all the young folks and many of the old ones. To think of a place so far out in the sticks and bounded by so many miles of unfathomable mud as this being in daily communication with New York and other great centers seems almost incomprehensible."
Imagine then, the stir that surely occurred with the announcement almost four years earlier that wireless was coming to Columbia.

Everyone who's been in Adair County for longer than a buck-thirty knows that WAIN, the first broadcast radio station within the county borders, went on the air in the summer of 1951. Technically speaking, however, the first station in The Shire operated for an undetermined length of time in the latter part of 1921 into 1922.
