Show WW will isson arrive P the re working marking on si it now by news analyst and Compten washington la Is television here to stay that has been the favorite crack in AM regular broadcasting casting circles for some time now its been displaced by another will strato vision arrive if it no say the enthusiastic stratospheric promoters hillh millions ns of people in rural areas arcaba will be unable to receive television programs for if years it if ever what Is 1 it the strato vision system simply puts tho the antennae and television transmitter in an airplane flying in 14 lazy circles above the th earth they explain and the short wave sent out from this airborne antennae blankets the tha eartha surface like ilka a great inverted ice cream cone and covers an area approximately BOO miles across since television waves travel in a IE straight line and not in high leaping loops like long wave radio their ranga la Is limited just as human sight Is limited you cant see nearly as far on a 0 level city street sif as you can from the top of a mountain that parallel an elac exact t one but its a good rough comparison so television television waves have to travel on a special cable underneath the ground coaxial co axial cable cabled or els else e leap from one high tower to another microwave relay arid and the farthest they can travel Is some 35 to 50 miles but strato vision waves como come from a transmitter as high as the plane carrying the transmitter can fly feet feat well say any lahat about storms well tho the may gay they hey mill most of them at that heltha and anyhow they can use use more than one equipped pla plane neso eo they can shift the point of trani transmission mission of i a program from one to tho the other and thus this dodge the tha storm they juslin insist that they have already demonstrated that this Is possible that they can deli deliver vei I 1 seen any of the rece recent at tests so I 1 dont know naturally the old timers although the
