Commissioners Grant Request To Locate On Wheaton

Authorities To Increase Power To 5O,OOO watts

lem with local radio broadcasting sta
tons, will receive an improved and
clearer reception. It is estimated by
Hunt, that the proposed increase will
bring into fold an additional $3.50
square miles with it's attendant list
eners. The radius at the present time
is about 35 miles, and this would
mean an increase in radius of between
rs and 80 miles.
Although the present coverage in
square miles is approximately 5000
for the primary signal, WJSV's re-
ception in some parts of New York
State is on a par with that vicinities'
local broadcastfng units.
Another advantage, in respect to
radio patronage, will be the effective
ness of the Anacostia receiving sets.
In this section of the city where the
radio division Of the Naval Research
Laboratories is located clear signal
from WJSv was unavailable because
Of CoIumbia's compliance with the
wishes of the Navy Department to
the effect that WJsv's transmitter
should not interfere with that Of Re-
search Laboratory, which is directly
