RADIO CLUB list Rowl: D. Mclieever, l-l. Guzmann, P. Kroll, H. Guzmann. 12nd rowl: J. Hanncy, E, Titjen, J, Walsh and J. Clark. PERHAPS rather irrevcntly, though actually, a close ball game can cause the radio club to overlook the basic purpose of Station WPMA and tune in sport on a blissful, breezy atfernoon. 68 THE RADIO CLUB AMATEURS UF AIR WAVES Finally, Power Memorial Academy's Radio Club was started this year by Bro. Duggan, who moderates the Clubs activities. One of the Ululfs many accomplishments in its first year ol' exist- ence has been the founding of the first amateur radio station at Power. This station was con- structed by Bro. Duggan in order that the mem- bers might enjoy the experience of talking with other radio amateurs throughout the country. The Club at present owns a large amount of gov- ernment surplus electronic equipment, including oscilloscopes, signal generators, and portable transmitters. The Radio Club teaches its members the basics of electronics. For those going on to engineering or science courses in college, this knowledge will prove invaluable to the pursuit of their studies. The first step in learning prac- tical electronics is to obtain an amateurs license. The requirements are a good knowledge of basic radio theory and Nlorse Code. The present ob- jective of the members is to obtain this license. In order to hasten this achievement. the members attend regular weekly meetings, where they prac- tice sending and receiving Nlorse Code, and study radio theory. The club has received the enthusiastic sup- port of the staff and faculty of the Academy. it is hoped bv those taking part in the cluh's work that it will develop into one of the major activi- ties of the school. 7 me ' ,Q l .. s t ,gat ' l . r? it AS TECHNICIAN Hanney assembles a circuit, Bro.
