The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-07-18

Installation of a radio broadcasting
station for Newcastle will be the first
concern of the newly formed Henry
County Radio club. A CIV set will
be installed and market and stock re-
ports broadcasted so as to cover the
county. No other program will be at
tempted. The expenses will be borne
by the club, membership fee of four
dollars having been decided upon.
Connersville amateurs are showing
much interest in the club recently
started. The constitution Of the DIX
Radio club of Richmond is being used
as a model for the constitution of that
club.

| Novel MUSIC Broadcast
! 1t is proposed to broadcast the
chorus of the whistling marmots of
! Glacier National park, small animals
similar to prairie dogs, which live in
dense colonies and make shrill but
pretty whistling noise. When the mil
lion or more of these small rodents are
in full chorus on still nights, their
music can be heard for five miles, and
sounds like whole city full of people
playing the piccolo.
j A proposal is now before the parks
bureau to install a broadcasting set
which would have to be a 200-watt
using a 360-meter wave length.
