Good morning, Detroit! Radio used to bind us. Now we're all in our own worlds.

In honor of World Radio Day this week, the chrome plated copper ball that was perched on top of the 831 foot antenna for 500,000 watt radio station WLW in 1934. It was used to dissipate the static charge that built up from high winds and electrical storms. The holes are from lightning strikes.
