Transmitters will be set up at Sacra- | mento, Los Angeles, San Francisco,El Centro, Brawley, Fresno, Salinas, Lodi, San Jose and Sebastopohl. At San Jose, Station KQW proposes | not only to rebroadcast the short-wave | eode signals, but to carry the bulletins in speech form. The Pederal radio authority has in-| formed the promoters of the enterprise that the stat'on, when finished, will probably be -.signed the use of the frequency of 2,938 kilocycles (102 meters) for night-time operation, and 5,870 kilocycles (51 meters) daytime. Call letters are to be assigned later. Operation is expected to begin Octo- ber 1.

Bulletins to Be in Code. ‘The bulletins necessarily will be sent in code, the request for broadcast chan- nels having been refused on account of their unavailability. Few, if any, farmers of California, | know the code language of wireless. They will depend first, upon neighboring | “ham” or amateur radio operators. It | is planned that one by one the local | growers associations shall erect and| man their own short-wave receiving| stations. Some of the great private farm enter- prises of the State will set up stations of their own. ‘The Californians laid their case be-| fore the commission in characteristic | fashion before they got what they | wanted. They proceeded irf the face of the commission’s avowed policy to make | no inland short-wave assignments until the problem of the short-wave spectrum | as a whole could be taken up. | La Fount Their Spokesman, ‘Their spokesman, of course, was Com- | oner La Fount, who confesses to a | enterprise. real fondness for California, although he is a Utah man.
