WHRV Scans Alphabet for New Station Signal Letters

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

WHCN to WHRV to ??? The Harvard Radio Network faces another name change, but it has no idea what the new call letters will be, according to President William P. Raney '50.

The network board has discovered a commercial station in Michigan that is using the same call letters--WHRV, and it wants to avoid the confusion that might result with two stations using the same letters.

When the network separated from the CRIMSON in 1946, it changed its name from WHCN--the Crimson Network--to the present code signifying the Harvard Network. Now that the station must make another change, network members must invent another combination.

WHRN was to be the new code, but then the FCC informed the board that a Treasury Department Coast Guard radio station is using that combination.
