Distance & Direction. In addition to the old four-beam, low-frequency (200-400 kc.) radio ranges, the airways are now dotted with very-high-frequency (108-118 mc.). Omniranges (TIME, Dec. 20 1948). They cover limited distances (200 miles at 20,000 ft.), but are far more versatile than the old-style ranges. Almost unhampered by static, they give the approaching plane a straight-in heading from any direction. Rather than flying on a narrow, crowded beam, a pilot can tune his Omnirange receiver to the desired station, then read his course on a dial...
...nevertheless be able to follow the Eli classic, blow by blow. Boston radio station WHDH (850 on the dial) will broadcast the game Saturday starting at 2 o'clock. The 1:30 o'clock kick-off will come floating Cambridge-way, however, through the facilities of WEAN (Providence-710 kc.), whose broadcast will begin at 1:15 o'clock...
Last week the FM crowd, headed by Major Armstrong, moved on Washington to argue before the Federal Communications Commission for air room in the radio spectrum. Chief aims: 1) exclusive rights to the 3,000-kc., ultra-short-wave band they now share plus a 6,000-kc. bite of television's 12,000-kc. claim, just beyond; 2) power increases; 3) commercial status. Hearings will go on for two weeks...

...term " kilocycle " will eventually supplant " wavelength " in the jargon of the radio fan. The U. S. Bureau of Standards has approved it. Abbreviate it kc. The frequency will be expressed in thousands of cycles per second-in other words, kilo cycles. To transmute wavelengths to kilocycles, divide 300,000 by the number of meters, or to obtain meters, divide 300,000 by kilocycles...
