H. B. Read's new Portland radio
station, KQP, la one of the most pow>-
erful on the coast. The wave length,
however, la so low that many fall to
get It.
The studio la located in the Hotel
Portland, with a remote control sys
tem conveying the sound waves to the
station located on a high hill Just west
of Portland’s main buslneas section,
but far enough away no aa not to inter
fere with many radio fans of the City
who may wish to tune in other station«
while thia one is on the air.
The set was entirely built by H. B.
Read, assisted by Ivan R. Gilbert, who
is operatin gthe set. The sat io of the
master oscillator type, with a number
of new and unique features developed
by Mr. Read.
The station is full battery equipped,
using the largest tattery installation
in Portland, with «00 cells of Willard
tatterfes (there in-lug 80 trays of 10
evils) wired in 10 tanks of 180 volts
escli, giving a total of 1009 volts. AH
of the stations In Portland are Willard
equipped.
The antenna and counter-poise are
different from any other installation
there. The antenna is held by a high
|x>ie. with tile upper part of what
looks like guy wire«, lielng the med him
which put the wave« upon the air?
There are 10 wires forming this loop,
witli four to each guy held in umbrella
shape by four guy wire«. The lead-in
comes direct from these to the station
nearby. The counter-poise is of the
wagon wheel ty;x* with eight spokes of
copper wire and the rtgiit sides sur
rounded also by a wire which acta as
I>art of the counter-poise.
The studio is Western Electric
equliqted, and two telephone line« have
lieen installed connecting the studio
with the station, one of these to be
used only rtiould anything go wrung
with the other.
V
Read first liecame interested in ai
tour radio in 190«, bls home at that
time being in Beattie. In 1910 he was
given his commercial operator’s license
and was very active in radio until
1913. He spent two years in the radio
laboratory at the Puget Hound pSVy
yard and in 1921 purchased a radio
shop from Lloyd Himpson at Hood
River. Mr. Himpson is now instructor
in radio for the Y. M. C. A. school In
Portland. Mr. Read operated station
KQP on low power at Hood River for
some time and had been interested In
a radio shop here until recently. The
original net was built by Mr. Simpson
in 1921 and was an exact duplicate of
the one in use at that time by KDN,
located on the Fairmount hotel in San
Francisco.
Although the station is laid out for
5,000 watts and will eventually be
broadcaetflig with that ]s>wer, it la
operating at present on 500, uqder a
class A license, pending the granting
the application for a class B license.
"We expect to have a station which
will be a real asset to Portland and
one of the largest on the coast,” said
Mr. Read, when his station was opened
up. "People wbo have r |>orted upon
our progress say thnt we are getting
out very sharp and dear. Our set has
many new feature« an<l is the only
one <>n the coast using r*mote control
entirely, and with the station located
far enough away from tlie city so that
it will not interfere with radio recep
tion nor submerge other and less pow
erful stations We intend to go to
5,000 as soon as we <«n grt a license.
“Our battery eqiup.ikut is of the
type used hy WTAM, the Willard sta
tion at Cleveland, <»., and does away
with any )s>saibility or nutter gener
ator hum. This is to be a commercial
staton and we will put out high-class
program« «|H>n«ored by Portland firms.
At present w<* are filling only Monday
and Thursday nights from 8 o'clock on,
but will broadcast at other times and
often as we ItecoHte established."
Mr. Rend is at present doing the an
nouncing and 1« assisted by Mra. Read
in arranging programs.

fiatber. a big ship magnate, and
aon. Jack, an idealist, wbo had J
returned from the war, enter into a
heated discumton over th« feirneaa of
the father’s modern business methods.
Jack bad acquired al few ideas -of
hia own white awuy, and being some
what of rustic temperament had
planned with Capt Cornelius, his war
time pal, not to go tack to hia father’s
ahlpyards, but to live on a tarna but
Jack had not saved the money for
such an investment
In tiie ux*a»itliue a miniature of the
big ship, "Magnificence," placed in the
living room «aused the colloquy of the
Yvotnen folk—especialy old Mrs. Thur
low, a very consistent Individual,
whose opinions often clashed with
those of her son, John. Hester, Jack's
sister, with her laughing capricious
ways, contrasts sharply with the more
ssrioiiH mien of old Mrs. Thuriow.
Th^daughter was seriously not serious
«boat anything or anybody—except her
ffhee, George Norwood.
The climax of the first act comes
when John Thurlow very tactfully for
bids (lack to leave the yards, and old
Mrs. Thurlow offers to finance the
proposed farm, aa Jack had no money
of bis own.
Two or three months had.elapsed,
during which time the boys bad not
made a success of the farm, and John
Thurlow had worried himself ill. One
day the Thurlows decided to give the
agri ulturixta a surprise visit, which
took them unawares, and CapL Cor
nelius had not given up bls wartime
diversion- drinking.
John Thurlow was very disgusted to
think his son would play a losing game
when be could be a mMUter ship-bulidef..
He tried to bribe Capt. Cornelius,
While under the influence of Jiquor, in
to making a complete failure of th«
farm, but Jack overheard and gave up,
seeing that bls father waa ae deter
mined on having his own way.
Tlie second climax coi
in the
third act when word is. received that
the ship had sunk and that Jack bad
gone down with it. The noble quality
of Jack's character Is brought out
when a disi>atch tella that when he
had drowned his last words were:
' *«1*11 go down with the ship, because
that's what father would do if be
were here.”
