NAEB NEWS LETTER...•March 1, 1940...Pag© 2 studios and the Washington Hotel where Chamber of Commerce, Kiwants s and other important banquets of the community and college are held. It is our intention to broadcast as many of these addresses as possible that are given before service clubs and other organizations,, Also* when outstanding individuals visit the town and college and make the hotel their headquarters, we shall endeavor to interview them from the hotel. "KWSC, beginning this semester, is broadcasting an additional hour each day and is now on the air seventy-seven hours each week, or almost thirteen hours each week day* The schedule is from 6{45 a.M. to 8:00 A.M. and from 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. with the exception of Thursday when we leave the air at 7:30 P.M. KWSC shares time with KTW, Seattle, and does not broadcast or; Sundays, holidays, or on Thursdays after 7:30 P.M. "Incidentally, as part of the early morning period from 6:45 to 8:00 A.M. we have a request program which is bringing in between 350 and 400 pieces of mail weekly. In addition to the requests, this program features market quotations, news items, weather fore¬ casts, and frequent time signals. "Since we have increased our nighttime power to 5,000 watts our mail relating to evening programs has increased a great extent. Located as we are in the extreme eastern part of the state, we have never been able to serve the west side effectively because of the mountain range which separates us. However, we are now receiving a number of cards and letters from farmers and other residents of the west side commenting on our agricultural broadcasts, current events, and programs of classical music.

Here is news about the doings of Elmer Sulzer* Let the Courier-Journal of Louisville tell the - story: "Lexington, Ky., - Informed that the Federal Communications Commi¬ ssion had granted the University of Kentucky a construction permit for a new non-commercial educational broadcasting station to operate from Beattyville, Elmer G. Sulzer, the university ? s director of radio activities, said the transmitter probably would be moved to Beattyville within th© next two weeks. "After the transmitter is installed, Sulzer said, tests will be conducted for another two weeks before the station can begin operat¬ ing® It will be an experiment, he said, as ultra high frequency broadcasting, such as to be done from the Lee County station, never before has been tried in mountain topography. Th© transmitter will be furnished by WHAS, he said. "The Lee County Board of Education, Sulzer said, will furnish the operating personnel for the station, and the university will furnish the be*Vtrry receiving sets, which have been developed at the univer¬ sity during the last eighteen months.
