STREAMLINED low-windage SLOTTED-RING ANTENNA CHANNELS 7-13 The new AMCI Type 1046 antenna is a streamlined version of the Type 1040, resulting in substantially lower windage. This new design allows many existing towers to support a four-bay array with a gain of 16, often enabling one to achieve an ERP of 316 kw with a 25 kw transmitter, instead of the usual 40 or 50 kw.

Award-Winner Hugh Terry Addresses Journalism School THE "virtually unlimited" opportunities in radio and television bring with them a "siamese twin-responsibility," Hugh B. Terry, president and general manager of KLZ-AM-TV Denver, emphasized in an address to the Missouri U. School of Journalism May 5. Mr. Terry participated in the university's annual Journalism Week during which he received its 26th annual Honor Award for Distinguished Service in Journalism [B»T, May 2]. Mr. Terry traced the history of the electronic media up to the present, pointing out that they are "big, healthy and growing," and "begging for new ideas, fresh, different techniques." But he cautioned the students that as no method of communication reaches as many people as fast and as frequently as radio-tv, the responsibility is great, and "those who utilize these tools of journalism should be well educated, thoroughly trained, mature of thought and action, and willing and able to accept responsibility." "We in electronic journalism," he said, "must all fight to be accepted for what we are — a vital part of freedom of the press." "It will be one of your responsibilities," he stressed, "to guard against arbitrary curtains of silence whenever and wherever they may threaten these new and modern tools of journalism."
