rc with their increased power of 5.000
watts day and 1,000 watts night on
1290 kilocycles began on November

Application for this increased

th made by WHKY in June, 1941, and
er permit to construct was granted Jan.
he 6, 1942. Despite difficulty in securso
ing the new equipment and maleriir
als needed for the construction of the
of new transmitting plant, all of the
id latest type of broadcasting equip e,
men! was installed by July 24th.
ge However, further delay in changing
ae over to this new power and frequen
x) cy was caused by the difficulty oi
Ice WHKY in securing a consulting enft
gineer to run final tests and checks
ri- on the equipment. But at last this
difficulty was overcome and the
new transmitting station was pul
into operation.
Radio station WHKY's new transmitting
plant is located approxiIW.
mately 2!i miles southeast of Hickory
on a 21-acre tract of land. A
~ most modern brick building houses
u~ the new transmitting and associate
equipment. Four 295-foot towers
are used to transmit the programs
to thousands of old listeners and
?. many thousands of new listeners in
WHKY"s new service area.
.0 Broadcasting studios and offices
'c' will still be maintained in Radio
*1 building in downtown Hickory and
? the programs will be fed to the new
transmitting station by telephone
lines from the downtown studios.
? Due to the war, and by order ol
cr
the board of war communications
visitors will not be allowed in the
n new transmitting plant, howevei
