Materialization of KWAXMarks Successful Climax to Struggle --,7 ■ .linn i Aft.-r the Iii.it. M i alns of the Alrrm Mater" non# rllerj away, the announcer »nld, "These at- ’ th. I fir.t word* to be spoken over station KWAX. Kugen<\ Oregon, I operated by student* of the t'ni-, vanity of Oregon undci supervi Hl"n ,,f the speech department." KVVAX materialized at exactly ‘ "h pm. Wednesday, Apr. 4, 1951. Immediately the KM station be gan its first program, an informal discussion of things to come over the air waves of KWAX in the future Fifteen minutea later, "The Voice of the Ducks" had its first inserted station identification. To the listening audience the station identification was a thrill, not the usual pain in the neck. KWAX had come into being Big Moment Here were the voices of fellow students coming right from Vll lard on the campus. They were pioneering the way for a new sta tion .their very own. A tense moment for them, it would seem. Hut . very voice was calm and pro fessional. I-et's see Kxt. 4-0-7. "KWAX," a voice answered in stantly. Well say, how are things up there’" "Fine' But were awfully busy right now," Any Idea of your listening audi ence ?" "No, but we've had Home calls that we could b<- heard all right. What?", the voice from Villard anker], "Oh yes, we’re all relaxed up here.” "Thank you and congratulations, KWAX ’ Followed HOI K Those telephone calls from stu dents must have been a great re assurance to the new station. In June, 1919, Oregon’s FM station was KDUK, operating on 10 watts. It was faintly heard in only two places on campus. Then it ran into technical difficulties with FCC reg ulations. Undaunted, Kappa-Ftho Omicron, radio honorary, started a cam paign Nearly $1,500 of equipment was necessary for the station to begin operation. Students gener ously signed over their breakage fees to the new station. Finally, the money was collected. The FCC regulations were met. Then it was up to the students to get in and pitch for KWAX. The result was a well-organized staff with members from many schools in the University. Thus, the "Voice of the Ducks" was heard at a fre quency of 88.1 megacycles Wednes day night. It wasn't easy, but they did it... and they did it well. Again, congratulations KWAX! Losers Hit, ial coble. If all the telephone voices That ride together in one coaxial cable Traveled as they once did Over pairs of open wire, The sky above Georgetown University, In Washington, D. C., And over all the other points Along our extensive coaxial network. Would be a jungle of poles and wires. Coaxial cable-no thicker than a man's wrist— Can carry 1800 telephone conversations Or six television programs At the same time.
