-IO¬ METER SO THAT THE DUPLICATING EQUIPMENT CAN BE MAINTAINED IN FIRST CLASS SHAPE WITH A MINIMUM OF EFFORT- Looks like WILL-TV, here at the University of Illinois, has become No. lij. OF THE NON-COMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION STATIONS ON THE air. The WILL-TV test pattern has been on a few times and John Brugger, WILL-TV Chief Engineer, and his staff are hot on the trail OF A NON-ARCING CONDENSER THAT WILL ENABLE THEM TO FIRE UP THE TRANS¬ MITTER ON FULL POWER. By THE TIME YOU RECEIVE THIS, THE 12 BAY GE ANTENNA ON THE TOWER OF ILLINOIS MEMORIAL STADIUM SHOULD BE RADIATING PROGRAMS ON CHANNEL 12. THIS WILL PROVIDE TV SET OWNERS IN THE Champa i gn-Urbana area with a chance to hear a second local station. Up to now many had no choice of programs except those on the local COMMERCIAL STATION WClA ON CHANNEL 3* Included with this issue of the Newsletter is a copy of the report of the NAEB Engineering Committee on new AM and TV equipment shown at the 1955 NARTB Convention and Exhibition. It will go to all members as well as to those listed in the Technical Directory. Additional copies may be secured upon request. On June 22, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a proposal TO PERMIT TELEVISION STATIONS TO BE BUILT USING AS LITTLE AS 100 WATTS EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER. ORIGINALLY THE FCC PROPOSED LIMIT¬ ING THE 100 WATT STATIONS TO CITIES OF 5^,000 OR LESS; HOWEVER, IT FINALLY DECIDED THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO POPULATION MAXIMUM OR MINI¬ MUM ANTENNA HEIGHT RESTRICTION AS LONG AS THESE LOW POWER STATIONS PROVIDE NECESSARY SIGNAL STRENGTH OVER THE CITY SERVED. THE NEW ORDER IS EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, AND APPLIES TO BOTH EDUCATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL STATIONS. A NUMBER OF MANUFACTURERS HAVE DEVELOPED EQUIPMENT IN ANTICIPATION OF this action. Where live vidicon cameras are used it is possible to OBTAIN COMPLETE STATION EQUIPMENT FOR ^$ 0 , 000 . THIS MAY ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION SINCE EDUCATION¬ AL INSTITUTIONS HAVING CLOSED CIRCUIT EQUIPMENT CAN OFTEN GET ON THE AIR FOR CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN .^0,000. The Standard Electronics Corporation of Newark, N« J, has developed A NEW RADIO STUOIO CONTROL SWITCHING UNIT KNOWN AS "StUDICOn" WHICH ENABLES STUDIO OPERATORS TO SELECT PARTICULAR CHANNELS FOR TRANSMIS¬ SION OF THE STUDIO OUTiUT. THE ^StUDICOn” ELIMINATES THE NECESSITY
