WBAI Program Folio 2, no. 7 (April 3-16, 1961) - solearabiantree

THE NEW TRANSMITTER
At long last WBAI's old transmitter located at 6ist St. and Fifth Ave.
battered by flood and fire, disadvantageous^ positioned for reception in
many parts of our listening area, and occasionally prone to cease operating
during critical broadcast hours — has been retired. Replacing it, 650 feet
above average terrain, atop 10 E. 40th St., is a new three-section antenna,
powered by a new RCA transmitter. We now hope to be able to broadcast
our 17-hour day at full power, without the constant worry of a breakdown.
Calls and postcards from listeners have already confirmed the fine quality
of the new signal. Many of those who had previously only heard about
WBAI's programming are now actually hearing it. It is imperative, to
insure maximum utilization of the new transmitter and antenna, for us to
know how and where the improved signal is
being received, and we urge
all
listeners who hear a difference to send a card specifying exact location
and comments about quality and relative strength. Our studio address, of
course, remains the same — WBAI, 30 E. 39th St., New York 16, N. Y.
