An interview with Leslie (Les) Horton, about the early days of Canadian radio, conducted in Hamilton, Ontario.

He talks about the many facets of his career in radio, from assembling radio kits, to selling radios, to becoming a broadcast engineer. The technology of the day is discussed in detail, and Horton tells many stories about the people he worked and what it was like working during the pioneering days of radio. <48mn>
