		Herrold said the chainlink and barbed-wire fence surrounding the well needed to be replaced, as it would do nothing to keep his cows away from it.
		Herrold said his lawyer advised him that while it was the city's responsibility to maintain the fence, it was his responsibility to inform the city the fence needed repairs.
		Charles Herrold noted that if they had to dig a well in their property, they probably would raise the lease amount on the city.

	KTEH's Doc Herrold About the Program
		Herrold's station operated daily from 1909 through World War I and into the mid-1920s when it was purchased and moved to San Francisco (where it later become KCBS).
		During World War I, both the station and the Herrold College of Wireless and Engineering (located in downtown San Jose) was one of the few places in the U.S. utilized by the government as a training center for more than a thousand military and civilian wireless operators.
		Herrold's pioneering efforts proved both the appeal and potential of the new broadcasting medium and greatly influenced the proliferation of those early radio stations that began obtaining licenses from the Department of Commerce in 1920.

	"BROADCASTING'S FORGOTTEN FATHER: THE CHARLES HERROLD STORY"
		ADAMS: V/O Charles Herrold is born in 1875 in this house in Northern Illinois.
		Herrold began to get an idea about how he too could deliver music and other entertainment into homes but using the wireless, a new invention that some believed could even be made to talk.
		Herrold puts his arcfone on every day for eight hours and thousands of fairgoers are able to experience broadcasting for the first time.

		So, Herrold came up with a new transmitting contraption he called the "Arc Fone." It was a series of six arc lights which generated high frequency radio waves strong enough to carry voices and music longer distances.
		Herrold's last years were marked by a series of humble jobs such as a security guard.
		Some historians considers Charles Herrold to be "the father of broadcast radio." Although now virtually forgotten, his impact continues to spread like the radiowaves he loved.

	Radio Pioneers
		Charles Herrold (1875 - 1948) was born in Fulton, IL, a Mississippi river community located on the Iowa/Illinois border.
		Herrold devised a totally mechanical radio transmitter using a mechanically driven spark gap to generate the radio waves.
		Herrold's work was pre-empted after WWI by the advent of the vacuum tube transmitter and the arrival of hundreds of new broadcasting stations.

	Adventures in CyberSound: Herrold, Charles
		Herrold was born November 16, 1875 in Illinois.
		In the meantime, Herrold had decided one of the best uses for his invention was to feed the interest of experimenters with regular programs that would publicize his College.
		Unfortunately, Herrold had a hard time keeping his station going into the 1920s, and his dream began to unravel as he was forced to sell KQW in 1925.

	AM Broadcasting History
		Charles Herrold of San Jose began his voice transmissions in the spring of 1909, using the self-assigned call sign of "FN." By 1912-13, he was self-identifying as "SJN," and was offering a regular -- but limited -- schedule of voice and recorded music.
		Herrold's activities were widely reported in the Northern California newspapers, and he became sufficiently prominent that "public receiving sets" were used to receive his broadcasts for curious headphone-wearing listeners at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915.
		Charles Herrold received his broadcast license for KQW on December 9th.) It wasn't until 1922 that the Department of Commerce began to file broadcasting stations separately from "coast stations" in its records, and it wasn't until 1922 that broadcasting under an amateur-class license was officially prohibited.

	The History Of KQW Radio - KCBS
		Herrold was born November 16, 1875, in the Mississippi River town of Fulton, Illinois.
		Herrold's father, Captain William Morris Herrold, was an inventor himself, and held patents on several agricultural devices.
		Herrold and his students began experimenting on Herrold's "arc-phone." Newby recalled that, to raise the frequency of the arc, they had to enclose it in a tube insulated in alcohol (they later used distilled water).

		Herrold stands in the center of his studio during a 1912 broadcast, as students Emile Portal and Ken Sanders play records from a windup phonograph.
		It included a printed notarized endorsement from Herrold: "We have given wireless phone concerts to amateur wireless men throughout the Santa Clara Valley." Herrold was referring to the crude process of playing records on a windup acoustical phonograph, and aiming the sound at a microphone to be played over the air.
		The Herrold experiments came to an abrupt halt when the entry of the United States into the World War caused all radio transmitters and receivers to be shut down and sealed until 1919.

	[No title]
		Charles David Herrold, in San Jose, Calif., in 1909, established a radio-telephone station for experimental work and as a promotional device for a school of engineering and radio, which he also operated.
		Herrold's station grew into KQW in 1921 and KCBS in 1949.
		But the four usual contenders for "oldest broadcast station" are Doc Herrold's operation in San Jose (now KCBS), WHA Madison at the University of Wisconsin, WWJ Detroit and KDKA Pittsburgh.

	McFarland - Publisher of Reference and Scholarly Books
		This biography of Charles Herrold focuses on how he used primitive technology to get on the air.
		The authors describe Herrold’s story as one of early triumph and final failure, the story of an “everyman,” an individual who was an innovator but never received recognition for his work and, as a result, died penniless.
		Herrold then worked as a radio time salesman, an audiovisual technician for a high school, and a janitor at a local naval facility, still telling anyone who would listen to him that he was the father of radio.

	Professors' book profiles radio history - Campus News
		The book titled, "Charles Herrold, Inventor of Radio Broadcasting," is written by Greb, a former San Jose State University professor, and Mike Adams, chair of the department of television, radio, film and theatre.
		The book tells the story of Charles Herrold, a pioneer broadcaster, who was the first person to broadcast entertainment regularly to an audience, Adams said.
		Greb himself did not believe at first that Herrold had broadcasted music and voice in 1909 because he had always heard that the Westinghouse station, KDKA, in Pittsburgh was the first and oldest station.

		The initiation of voice transmissions from the "Herrold College of Wireless and Engineering" in San Jose, CA in 1909 placed Charles "Doc" Herrold at the very Beginning of broadcasting.
		Early call signs included "This is the Herrold Station" or "San Jose Calling." The call sign "FN" was adopted for a while, as were experimental calls 6XE, 6XF and SJN.
		Herrold wanted to sell advertising, and wrote to the Department of Commerce to ask about using the station for paid advertising.

	KCBS (AM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		KCBS has its roots in the experiments of San Jose tinkerer Charles Herrold as far back as 1909, making the broadcaster a leading contender for the title of oldest station in the United States and possibly the world.
		In the very beginning, he just used a simple greeting like "San Jose calling." That greeting and the initial FN sign (which was an inverted abbreviation of "National Fone") reflected the fact that Herrold had been partially working on the idea of a radiotelephone.
		Herrold stayed on as a technician for the station he'd created for a few years, but died in obscurity in 1947.

	Lee de Forest as early radio broadcaster
		And like Fessenden and Charles Herrold, de Forest first tried spark and later a Poulsen arc in an attempt to give voice to his wireless.
		But in those early years, their major purpose was to make a fortune either by finding a dependable wireless replacement for the wired telephone or an acceptable system that the Navy would use to equip their ships.
		This was not an aberration; de Forest, Charles Herrold and all other radiotelephone inventors had between 1910 and 1916 spent countless dollars perfecting the arc as a carrier of voice and music.
