RADIO CLUB BUILDING BROADCASTING STATION

Harvard's first broadcasting station in ten years will probably be on the air by the end of next week. It is now being constructed at the Astronomy Laboratory by the Radio Club, which recently purchased the parts for a five hundred watt radiophone and telegraph transmitter.

The station will be used to establish contact with the Boydon Station of the Harvard Observatory at Bloenfontein, South Africa, in order to facilitate the exchange of data with the Cambridge astronomers, according to present plans.

Under the management of E. Sohler Welch, Jr. '39, plans are being made for handling radiograms from stations all over the world. Within a mouth messages from students for any part of the United States or Canada will be transmitted without charge.
