Others cannot. This is because KWAX is an KM-fre quency modulation station. It has become apparent since the opening broadcast of the Uni versity 10-watter that there are those on the campus and in the vicinity that aren't aware that tins makes any particular differ ence. But it does, and here’s why. Two General Types There are two types of radio broadcasting stations In general use today. . .AM and KM. AM means amplitude modulation and is the most general type of radio. AM can be heard at a great dis tance from the station, but it often has static. KM means frequency modula tion. An KM station, such as KWAX, can be heard only on ra dios that have AM and KM re ceivers, or single KM radios. On most of the newer radio sets, a special band labeled KM will be found under the AM dial line. An KM band has number a on the dial running between 88 and 108. To get KWAX, turn the selector switch to KM and then tune the dial to somewhere near 88. Tune above and below 88 until the loudest sig nal in that part of the dial is found. Disadvantages, Too The disadvantage of KM is main ly a smaller listening audience, because most people have only AM receivers as they are less expen sive than double modulation re ceivers. The advantages are that FM never fades, there is little if any static due to weather condi tions, and that FM stations never cut in on each other. AM radios can be adjusted to pick up FM stations. In most cases, however, the process is more ex pensive than buying one of the cheaper FM and AM radios. The best bet would be to buy a purely FM radio. YWCA Sponsors Sophomore Picnic A "Weinie Roast" sponsored by the YWCA sophomore commission for all freshman girls is being held at 5 p.m. today at Armitage Park. Tickets for the event, costing 25 cents, may be purchased from ticket salesmen in the dorm and are also available at the Y. They should be purchased before leav ing for the picnic. Transportation is being provided, according to Jean Gates and Jean Webb, co chairmen for the event. Anyone wishing to attend should meet at the Y by 5 p.m. When American hoboes meet in convention, the railroads have heavy traffic but little business.
