Their Time Is Your Time


A multi -million -dollar effort by many nations of the world
converts your shortwave receiver into an electronic Timex!

O Regularly as clockwork, the shortwave time stations split


the hours into tiny fragments with their incessant electronic
pulses. No music, no personalities, no entertainment, not
even a newscast to break the monotony. Their programming
is a bomb -a time bomb!
On the whole, their ticks, tones, and tech data are of in-
terest mostly to scientific sorts who rely on their specialized
services. Still, these "clock radios" offer some interesting
DX to shortwave listeners.
Mention standard time stations, and most SWLs figure
you're talking about the 46- year -old WWV, the National Bu-
reau of Standards' operation at Ft. Collins, Colorado. For,
truth to tell, WWV has been ticking away since 1923 (original-
ly from Greenbelt, Maryland) on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25
MHz. And the more hip also know its Hawaiian counterpart,
WWVH, at Puunene on Maui Island, which joined in on 5,
10, and 15 MHz in 1948. Still others are familiar with Cana-
da's CHU, widely heard on 3.330, 7.335, and 14.670 MHz.

also connected across the

to the grid of the output tube
as this will sharply reduce
the overall amplifier gain,

TV's long,
long way
to Tipperary

It's a long, long way from the Apollo 11's Pacific


splashdown point to Tipperary, but Tipperary TV
viewers enjoyed live coverage nevertheless. Reason

Are your home -town AM stations listed correctly in White's Radio Log? If you believe there is a correction
called for in White's listings, please check first with your local station. For each callsign obtain the correct city
location, frequency, and power. (Remember, even though your local paper may list a station as a "home-town"
station, it may be officially licensed by the FCC for operation in the next city.) Get all the facts on a piece of
paper (be very brief), include your name and address, and mail to White's Radio Log, RADIO-TV EXPERIMENTER,
229 Park Avenue South, New York, N. Y. 10003. Your help in contributing to the accuracy and complete-
ness of White's Radio Log will be sincerely appreciated. See page 96. -Editor
