The best known, and biggest seller of the three series. A. L. Burt Company - authored by "Gerald Breckenridge" - 10 titles M. A. Donohue & Co. - various authors - 6 titles There was also a related Radio Girls series, another Stratemeyer Syndicate product, published by Cupples & Leon and authored by "Margaret Penrose". All of these series were launched seemingly simultaneously in 1922 and the earliest books in each series were by far the biggest sellers, often incorporating details on how to build a crystal set (a simple radio receiver). Later installments tended toward routine action adventure. there is a radio program on the University of Calgary radio station called the radio boys and the short wave mystery, which is hosted by Brian Milne who has won a Peabody and Ramin Yazdi who was twice nominated for a Grammy for his musical project The Ramin Yazdi project.
