Battleship Texas Radio
Room Restoration Project
by the Houston Vintage Radio Association in conjunction
with The Battleship Texas and Texas Parks and Wildlife. As you might guess
from the title, there is a possibility of HVRA working together with other
local volunteer organizations to assist restoring the radio room aboard
our famous battleship, which served in both WW1 and WW2. Check this link
often as Frank Cooper updates the status of this project.
