New Radio Station
Licensed For U.
Fairbanks.—“W7XCV” is the
e^Il numbers of the new experi
mental radio station being in
stalled by the University of Al
aska for the purpose of making
ionospheric measurements in the
polar regions.
Experiments will be made “on
the heavy side of the ionosphere”
according to Dr. Ervin H. Bram
hal‘l, professor of physics.
Authority for the operation of
the station has been granted by
the federal communications com
mission, and equipment is now
being constructed at the univer
sity.
The license granted is unique
in that it will permit operation of
the university's station at vary
ing power ranging from half a
watt to 200 watts, and on any
frequency measureable in even
hundreds of kilocycles, from 1500
kilocycles to 16.000 kilocycles.
The bottom limit of this fre
quency range is the top limit of
the commercial broadcasting ran
ge, and the license specifies that
cgch operation those in charge of
the university's experimental sta
tion shall listen on that frequen
cy to see if their signals are in
terfering wit hany service orig
inating on the same or an adja
cent channel.
This is the first station of its
kind ever licensed, ond its pur
pose is new, according to com
mission engineers. , It is hoped,
they sa d, that the University of
Alaska experiments will greatly
widen scientific knowledge, parti
cularly with regard to the effect
of Arctic temperature, polar mag
netism. and the northern lights
on radio transmission and recep
tion.
