If you've ever wondered what's inside the old KRE studio building off Ashby Avenue in Berkeley -- you know the one, underneath the big radio tower by the freeway -- here's your chance!
Bay Area radio legend Carter B. Smith will be our host for a day of radio fun, including the local chapter of the Broadcast Legends (www.broadcastlegends.com), live bands, vintage equipment auctions and guided tours of the remarkable KRE facility, which CHRS is renovating into not only a radio museum, but into working order as a broadcast and recording studio.
CHRS has one of the most outstanding collections of vintage broadcast equipment -- including receivers that date back to the early 20th Century, amateur equipment and classic radio station consoles -- much of which will be on display on July 15.
Refreshments will be served. Come early and stay all day!

WHEN: Saturday, July 15, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
WHERE: KRE Radio, Ashby Avenue at Shellmound, near Aquatic Park, Berkeley (under the big radio tower).
