WHRV's long-delayed debut in the Yard is scheduled for February 2, according to John V. Bouyoucos '49, technical director of the Crimson Network. Bouyoucos announced last night that shortages of wiring materials may delay the Network's time-table, but "not by more than a few weeks."
The high price of high-frequency, coaxial cable in the past has made the wiring of the Yard impossible. Before Christmas, the Network made an abortive attempt to reach freshman receivers via regulation cable, but broadcasting signals were absorbed before they could travel between the transmitter in Win thorp House and yard radios.
Coaxial cable is now available through Army surplus sales for what Bouyoucos calls "a song." Substitution of the more efficient cable into the entire radio system is planned for the coming months. Bouyoucos added, "Now if we could only keep the University from unexpectedly switching electrical transmitters and leaving us broadcasting over dead lines, we'd be all set."
