In the 1976 Del Valle yearbook…
we find the 1975-1976 FM Club, Amateur Radio Club, and DV Radio Club.
The F.M. Club was started 3 years ago by Scott Burnside, and consists of students interested in F.M or A.M. radio broadcasting. At the moment they only play music over the P.A. system, but with some hard work they should be on the air.
The Amateur (Ham) Radio Club consists of students licensed under F.C.C. rules and regulations. The Ham Radio Club is interested in nationwide as well as worldwide communications. The F.M. Club and Ham Radio Club together form the D.V. Radio Club, and is always interested in expanding its membership and encourages all others interested.
The members are listed as follows:
James Diaz
Donald S. Fitchett
David Haydon
Steve Lagrandeur
John McCormack
Raymond A. Napier
Steve Pietkiewicz
Jacob F. Pollock
Jay R. Shindell
David A. Talbert
We find the Del Valle amateur radio station in the Winter 1975-1976 amateur radio call book.
The entry states the following:
B Del Valle ARC, 1963 Tice Val Blvd, Walnut Creek 94595
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.
