NBC PUTS 'LLLI'FR • ON AIR
* ’FOR ITATION-WID3 BROADCAST
Don# Thomson and Joe Eu - er of
NBC sot ui a broadcasting studio
in' the new school building at Com
munity Center with an experimental,
short-wave transmitter, the same
one that had crossed the Pacific' in
the :,China Clipper.”
After a couple of attempts to
get satisfactory results while the •
coast-to-coast time was clear, they
managed at 9ATT on Tuesday to send .
out a urogram, the participants of
which were all ^almerians.
The broadcast was picked up by
a commercial RCn station at ~»oint'
Reyes, California, and from there
sent by land line telephone all
over the United States to stations
of the Red and Blue networks.
Taw thirty minute broadcast was
a continuity which presented the.
interesting phases of colonial
progress in the IAt^nuska Valley.
Peggy PL..nerton and her Puller
Pioneers furnished musical inter- "
ludes during the broadcast. 'Speak
ers were: Ross Steely, Father Ner
ril Sulzi an, Don Irwin, Anton An
derson, Loo Jacobs, Fiv:n •, Biggs,
Dx. Albrecht, Vernon Oimstead,
Reverend Pingle and Jack All", cnr.
Nrs. Frank Rbr and ‘h*s. Ernie
Kliar, furnished the information
which would be of interest to the
laiies;
Now, for those who are interes
ted in the mechanical set-ur of the
transmitter: It is ^ errrstal ' con
trolled' radioahcne using 100 watts
of newer which is furnished by.two -
large twelve volt storage batteries
which light the tubes and drive a
generator to furnish plate current.
It is ^cmoactly built and car
ried in a ventilated metal case
about half the size of a steamer
trunk. T.: s generating unit is in a
smaller cas° and is seoarate from
_the transmitter.
The unit worked very-well deseite
the fact that we are hemmed in by
mountains which have a tendency to
check radio signals and somewhat
cut down the effective range of a
station.
