On June 25, 2006 we were guests of Rick Walsh of ClearChannel Radio at the West peak of Meriden Mountain, to visit a historic building and radio tower built in 1936 by my grandfather, Franklin M Doolittle. He was one of the original radio pioneers with many "firsts", inventions and patents. At this location his broadcasting company conducted early experiments in FM broadcasting, and decades of commercial AM & FM. WDRC-FM (Doolittle Radio Corporation's FM station) transmitted out of this facility until relocating to a newer building on the same lot.
