The members Of the Cony High
Radio Club which conducts station
1-AZZ have been unfortunate this
year and have been unable to be on
the air much of the time. Withal
they have had q. good time. meet
ing every Thursday and working
upon the set.
They have been obliged to move
the set to a new room. one off AS
sembly hall on the third floor and
have it now practically installed.
They have installed a new aerial
and whereas before they have been
greatly hampered by the fact that
after each storm the snow and ice
sliding from the roof has taken the
aerial with it, the new installation
has done away with this trouble.
They have also installed a new
counter-poise which is expected to
work fine.
The set transmitting is 1OO-watt
outfit used for both code and phone
stuff. 1t has all been installed in
the new room and the boys are
making a new receiving outfit thai
is expected to far surpass the old
one. They will perhaps be on the
air the last week or two of school
but will not really get going until
next fall.
Although they have not had a
chance to hit the ether they have
learned much of the working Of radio
sets through their work this year
in changing the installation and feel
that they have been amply repaid
for the trouble to which they have
been put.
The officers of the club were Rob

vice president: Melvin Mower. sec
rotary and treasurer. Faculty Ad-
visor Harrison Lyseth has had
charge of the activities of the club
and under his tutelage the boys
