Chief Engineer Russ Walters And Visitor

            Russ Walters was the engineer who originally put KNAL on the air in 1948 when AM radio ruled the airways.  As an FCC  licensed  "First Class Radio Engineer" he was involved in everything from installing and engineering the transmitter to designing the control room and a studio from which live music could be broadcast.  He set up this KNAL van as a remote studio, including turntables.  The station broadcast live local high school sports, (at home and away)  provided live coverage of the local stock show and rodeo and carried live play by play broadcasts of the Houston Astros.  He  set up a remote studio at the National Weather Station to provide live up to the minute weather reports during hurricanes and other threatening conditions. Two on-air personalities broadcast music shows from remote studios, Charles Raymond "Clean Living" Lewis from his home and Sr Louis from his restaurant. All this output from a 500 watt AM Transmitter and some standard telephone Land-lines. He was a true gentleman and an extraordinary engineer.  He was also a full-time electrical engineer for the local Union Carbide plant.
