Located in the Mount Pleasant di one of the highest points U the city, where the antenna wires are ded 150 feet above-the street level, the waves radiating from the station have an unobstructed path in all directions. With the antenna tem energized by powerfui 300-w transmitting set, radio reception from the station in Delaware, Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia, stern Pennsyl ia and southern New Jer- ey ould be particularly good, while i the District of Columbia strong signals will be received at all times during the day and evening when the station is an the “air. Radio interest in the District and adjoining states hould be markedly stimulated when the station opens, as reception in this cction has been unsatisfactory, due to “dead spots” in the ether which act as a barrier batween the local re- ceiving stations and broadcast tlons in New York and elsewhere Te Reach All Over Nation. Not only will Washington and vicinity have adequate radio service, but to. every cormer of the United States, this powerful station may carry the words of great men in polit- fcal ‘and diplomatic life, the progress of world events as they transpire and the music of other nations as ren- visiting musiclans. ‘This station provides an instantaneous link between the country's political center and every American home and a better understanding of govern- ment, of issues invoived in political campaigns and of the questions which arise in our relations with foreign countries, cannot fail to result from its_operation There is a wealth of material available in Washington lrcuu‘v hich to make the programs of “WRC” most enjovable and educational.

Position of Table. The operating table is in front of the transmitters and on it is a small box through which the operators nay throw in either of the powerful transmitters and listen to the out- Boing program at various stages of its progress. On this table also, is a microphone that the operator on duty cut-in and talk to the ‘“unseen audience” himself should this be nec- essary at any time. By means of an inter-communicating phome he may talk to office, studio and recepu room or be called by them. the law requires thit a transmitting station must constantly listen-in ior distress signals from ships. a highly effictent receiver is provided The motor generators are housed in an adjoining soundproof room, that their low hum may not disturb elther artists or operators. Two machines are provided. one for each transmit- ter. Each of these powerful units consists of a single motor driving two generators, one of which supplies 2,000 volts for the oscillator and modulator tubes and 1.000 volts for the amplifier tuhes. while the other furnishes the 125 volt: ate the automatic volts which heat the filaments of the large vacuum tubes.

The studio is accoustically correct construction and prevents even the minutest echo which might otherwise blur the clearness of transmlssion necessary to enjoyable entertainment. ‘The room is a very vital part of the several broadcasting stations of the Radio Corporation of America. Be: hind several huge panels are vacuum tubes of medium size used to strengthen, or amplify, the electrical currents which carr: voice or music before actually reaching the trans mitter. Its use is especially neces- sary when the program is being brought to the station over a wire a few miles in length, otherwise there would be insufficient energy to affect the radio waves, ed in connection with programs taking place in the studio, it is valuable.
