Junior High Students i Vorking On Civil Defense Radio I don't know if most of you people are aware of it, but it may surprise you to know that there is a civil defense radio in the basement of the Junior High School in Cedar City. Mr. Willard Wil-lard Hamilton, of Hamilton's Communication Service, is contributing con-tributing his time to teach several sev-eral boys in the school, how to operate it in case of emergency. The boys in the group are Lance Jackson, Jim bnumate, iommy Beck, Robert Gleave and Courtney Court-ney Wood. The radio would be used if there was a disaster in Cedar City and the radio station was closed down. The men that ran KSUB would come to the Jr. High and begin broadcasting there. The radio has a main set, a modulator and to run it, a 3,000 watt generator. They can operate oper-ate the radio on a frequency no higher than is on your radio dial. The main set traps the sound waves and sends them into in-to the modulator to come out as sounds. The generator has three sections sec-tions to rescue power. Some of the tubes in the outfit cost more than seventy-five dollars a peiee. To help the boys learn the codes they also have a code machine to practice on. On this machine the morse code is used, they cannot speak through it at all. Even though the radio is for civil defense, the small group hopes soon to use it as a ham set up. The boys have been work ing both on and with the radio since mid-October and accord-to accord-to Mr. Hamilton, are making good progress. |
