It serves the Capitol District of New York State — covering 6589 square miles — 163^2 hours daily, 18^ hours Saturdays. Owned and operated by the Capitol Broadcasting Co., Inc. — devoted solely to FM — it is the first commercial FM station unaffiliated with any broadcast interest. W47A is also the first station in the country to get a construction permit from the F.C.C. for STL equipment. It will operate on 331 megacycles with W2XEO as the call letters. This studio-to-transmitter equipment is being built by G.E. and will soon be installed. General Electric offers the only comprehensive line in FM today — broadcast and relay transmitters, receivers, tubes, frequency and modulation monitors, highgain turnstile antennas, and crystals. G.E. is the only manufacturer of FM broadcast transmitters and receivers operating an FM station as a proving ground. To benefit from actual operating experience look to General Electric for all your FM needs* Just get in touch with the nearest of our 80 offices. Dwelle S.
