RADIO CLUB RECEIVES RECOGNITION

Recognition of the value of the undergraduate Radio Club was recently received in their appointment as District Superintendent for Northern New Hampshire for the American Radio League. They are at present engaged in making tests on fading signals for the U. S. Bureau of Standards.

Further recognition of the association is the recent request that they act as a transfer station between Hartford, Conn, and Boston, since, owing to atmospheric conditions, direct communication between the two cities is very difficult. To carry out this work two student operators are on duty every night in the radio room in Wilder Hall from 10 to 12. At present they have facilities for handling messages north to Portland, east to Boston, and south and west by relay throughout the country.

The club is at present experimenting with a small radio telephone apparatus with a view to establishing telephonic communication between the summit cabin of the D. O. C. on Mt. Moosilauke and Hanover next summer. In this connection a small set is nearing completion to be used at different cabins to test the apparatus.

In order that members of the club may qualify for the license as first class radio operators, code classes are being held four nights a week. In this matter-the club is cooperating with the Physics department, which is offering a one-semester course in the theory and practice of radio telegraphy (without attention to code).
