This was powerful enough to reach practically all the ships in the North Atlantic, The Radio Commission went further 'and granted the station frequency free from interference, A cleared chan nel of 830 kiloeyeles wan selected for the fishermen's use, and the station's code name was changed to WHDH, Station KOA, located in Denver, Colorado, operates on the same wave longth ay the Glou cester station and the little station has to clear the alr ms woon as the sun goes down In order to make room for the larger, hut not as im portant, commercial hroadeast, The transitting studio was built at West Gloucester, well out' of the way of everything else, and the broadcasting studio wag placed in five rooms at the top of the New England Conservatory of Musie building In Boston, The entire equipment ix now as up-to-date aw almort any of the larger broadgast- ing plants, The weather reports are received at the studio hy tele phone and there they are transmits ted to the station at Gloucester by typewriter-telegraph.
