FM Receivers Operating Here
It is now possible to have frequency modulated radio sets oper
ating efficiently in State College, according to Harold W. Loman,
director of dormitories.
Tests made in Simmons Hall have shown that in spite of steel
construction, FM signals can be picked up as far away as Buffalo,
N. Y., and Washington, D. C. Mr. Loman volunteered his dipole from

his home FM set to make the
tests which astounded radio en
gineers who work on the theory
that FM waves will be grounded
by steel-constructed buildings.
Mr. Loman pointed out that he
had picked up FM signals as far
away as Canton, 0., and Oneida,
N. Y., both of which places are
approximately 200 miles, from-
State College. He is hoping in
the near future to be able to pick
up New York City, about 210
miles distant
Conduits are being installed in
all new dormitories, according to
Mr. Loman, and it would be a
simple matter to run co-axial
cables through the steel con
struction. Conduits, likewise, are
being installed in McElwain Hall,
and it will be possible to install
them in all other dormitories.
With the use of Mr. Loman’s
dipole, students in Simmons Hall
have already been able to pick up
FM receptions in the various
lounges and sorority chambers of
the dormitory. An FM commit
tee, newly reactivated, is investi
gating further possibilities for in
stalling FM sets. If these tests
come to a successful culmination,
it is possible that in the near fu
ture students and townspeople in
State College will be using
vision sets to a great degree of
satisfaction, Mr. Loman stated.
