The north-soutsystem is used primarily for television transmission and to supplement telephone circuits serving Southern Utah communities. The Long Lines Department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company began expansion of relay buildings and towers along the route 19 months ago.

At some locations, the tall steel towers supporting giant radio antennas were rebuilt. Antennas atop the towers were replaced with a new type, the "Cornucopia, so - called because it resembles a horn of plenty. Bell System Laboratories designed the to receive cornucopias and transmit in several super high frequency bands simultaneously. Both the existing system and the new one use the same antennas, with the "TH operat-- j in the higher ing frequency in-- j band.

The growing volume of long distance calls in and through Utah required additional facilities. Also, the variety of terrain between Denver and Salt Lake City provided excellent conditions for experimental testing. When fully equipped, the TH system beams 16 super high frequency radio channels along the route. A pair of these, one in each direction of transmission, can carry up to 1860 long distance conversations at a time. The system is also adapted to carry television programs from city to city when the signals are fed to local TV stations. Four channels will be reserved for maintenance and standby use.
