...Gettysburg weekends. Hagerty struggled valiantly and, to a point, successfully in stressing work over play. He took with him on trips briefcases full of executive orders, appointments, etc., and parceled them out daily to make news under the Augusta or Gettysburg dateline. He encouraged feature stories on the Army Signal Corps' elaborate setup to keep Ike in close touch with Washington. He produced Cabinet members in wholesale lots. (Does Hagerty really call for Cabinet members? Says he: "Maybe sometimes I do.") He did anything and everything, in short, to keep the subjects of golf and fishing far down...
WHRB will increase the height of its broadcasting tower on top of Dudley Hall to "make the signal stronger within the listening radius of the station...
Three days after the Associated Press's manned missile landed in oblivion, the United Press staged its own excursion into the wild blue yonder. Panted a U.P. bulletin from Helsinki: "The state radio here picked up signals early today which indicate Russia may have launched a moon rocket." European radio stations, said U.P., had picked up a "mysterious beep-beep-beep" which lasted three times as long as the signal from an orbiting Sputnik and "suggested the Doppler effect* that would be produced by a transmitter speeding away from the earth...
...space-singed A.P. waited 42 minutes, then filed a carefully sublunar story reporting that a ham operator near Columbus. Ohio, had now picked up the beep. "He suggested," said the A.P., "that it might be a signal from some kind of space vehicle." In A.P.'s second story British Broadcasting Corp. engineers pronounced that the signal was probably earthbound. The A.P. finally traced the beep to the "electronic groan" of an idling Russian teleprinter on the 20-megacycle band used by the Sputniks. (The teleprinter was on 20.025 mc.; the Sputnik frequency...
Both of the Sputniks have long been radio-silent, but after Jan. 14 radio hams will have another space broadcasting station to tune in on: the old reliable moon itself. The Army Signal Corps announced last week that it will bounce radio waves off the moon on even-numbered nights when the moon is around. The signals will be on the same frequency, 108 megacycles, that will be used by U.S. satellites-to-come, and they will come down from space in about the same way. So while the hams and the official tracking stations are waiting for another beeping...
