S-T FREQUENCIES ALTEi-ED IN FCC NOTICE Ultra-high frequency studio-transmitter (S-T) broadcast equipment for the 940-952- megacycle band will soon be available for broadcast use, the FCC said in a public notice Thursday (18). Equipment for this band heretofore has not been readily available, for which reason some stations have been operating S-T links under temporary authorization in television channels on a non-interference basis. The Commission notice said that it is now apparent, in view of the demands of tele¬ vision broadcasters for television channels, the increasing number of FM stations, and the availability of equipment for such links, that stations holding temporary authorizations for S-T operation on frequencies not now allocated for the purpose should plan to change operation to the 940-950-megacycle band at an early date. The notice added that FM broadcast stations contemplat i ng initial S-T operations should plan to begin such operations in this band. The av ai lability of equipment for operation in the band was demonstrated at the General Electric symposium held last week in Syracuse. New York,
