I recently heard Irb sold his Desk Kilowatt.

Tom,
Great story and nice pics.....puts a real face to the Irb story. I just wish I had known the man on a more personal level. Like most of us....there is the "radio" personality and then there is the "real" person. Sometimes the two are vastly different!
Thanks again Tom........

Bill,
I'm also sure that the almighty has a special clear channel frequency reserved for Irb when he gets to heaven, and it is right smack in the middle of the band - so if you don't like the message, you best tune away.

After reading some of the posts on this thread, I am wondering when the Pope is going to nominate Irb for sainthood.

When Irb showed me the barn in '91, he said that his fater was mentioned in Ripley's Believe it or Not for building it.  Also, wasn't there some kind of antique auto in there?

And does anyone have a picture of his bus - the one with the G-76 in it?

Is Irb OK for visitors?

Irb has a lot of pride in that place. I really hope it ends up in good hands, not sold off to developers. Wonder what will become of his place in the Adirondacks? Isn't that where he kept his Johnson KW?


I don't know. I haven't heard anymention of the Adirondack place and I don't think he's been there is a very long time . Yes, I think that is where the desk kilowatt  is, I kind of remember him pointing it out to us when we visited him. Although he had the desk kw I don;t recall ever hearing him fire it up on the air.
