WHRB Will Broadcast On New Transmitter Starting Next Month

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

By the middle of April, WHRB will be broadcasting with a new, more powerful, transmitter. Now under construction, it will replace the ten-year-old one presently in use.

WHRB decided to build the 90-watt transmitter because its 30-watt one is "just about gone." Originally designed to serve only the seven Houses, the old machine became overheated too quickly after the Yard, Graduate, and Business schools were added to the station's broadcasting range. Overheating ruined the tubes.

Engineers at WHRB started on the transmitter two weeks ago, on the design of Harold Dorshug, chief engineer of WEEI in Boston. Besides giving a clearer signal, the device may cut out much of the static listeners have been complaining about.
