Lafayette History Rabbit Holes – Acalanes Radio Station KCEQ: Campolindo 1972-1973 Electronics Club (Campolindo Gets An Amateur Radio Station)

August 13, 2022 Leave a Comment

In the 1973 Compañero…

we do not find an entry for the 1972-1973 Electronics Club.

We do find an entry for the Campolindo TV show in the yearbook.

Picture of the Campolindo 30

A new program initiated at Campolindo is the video tape program lead by the dauntless efforts of Mr. Carl Shanahorn. In addition Campolindo began a new season on T.V. with the “Campolindo 30,” a weekly 30 minute review of campus activities, on channel 6 our local CableVision station

This is the year that the Campolindo TV Show called the Campolindo 30 started, but there’s no mention of the Electronics Club in the yearbook.

Despite the lack of a mention in the yearbook, we can find in an amateur radio call book that Campolindo got their own amateur radio station during the 1972-1973 school year.

Their call letters were WB6OOH. After Las Lomas, Miramonte, Acalanes, and now Campolindo, Del Valle is the only remaining school that needs to get their amateur radio station.

We find the Campolindo amateur radio station in the Winter 1972-1973 amateur radio call book.

The entry states the following:

B Elect Club of Campolindo, 300 Moraga Rd, Moraga 94556

The “B” indicates a club license.

That’s all the information on this part that we have at the moment. As with all these posts, please feel free to share any information you might have.
