DARTMOUTH RADIO STATION TO HAVE 1300 METER RANGE
Dartmouth's new radio station, which is being equipped by the college and constructed and operated by the Radio Association on the top floor of Wilder Hall, when completed will have sufficient range for reliable communication with the Cornell station during the day, and under favorable conditions with far distant points at night, possibly with European amateurs.
The station has been granted a technical school station license by the government, under which it is permitted to communicate with amateurs on short wave lengths varying from 150 to 200 meters, and with other college stations on a special wave length of 1300 meters.
The 90-foot steel towers are being erected for the antenna on the roof of Wilder Laboratory, where the college has built an operating house with instrument room and shop.
In addition to extensive receiving apparatus, the equipment under construction consists of a 500-watt telegraph transmitter, which, according to present plans, will also be arranged for use in experimental telephony.
