NEW PERSONNEL JOIN INTC; VHF POWER UPPED We welcome new personnel to INT Communications Center with Laurine V. Hancock from Warren, Wis.i Lorraine M. Davis from Strawberry Point, Iowa; and Ann Davis from Winston-Salem, N. C- Recent transfers include Howard Martin, Radio Maintenance Tech nician, formerly based in IMN and now assigned to ORF assist ing Pat Cave. Charlie Joyce has been transferred from INT to IMN as Radio Technician, where he and Tom Holton will take care of Radio Maintenance activities at that station. V. A. Howard and Ralph Williams, INT Radio Maintenance, have been to Dallas, Texas for a week at tending a school sponsored by Collins Radio Co. They are now being called the "Dallas Kids" by their co-workers. Piedmont Aviation has recently expanded their distributorship activities to include Maryland Electronics, a company which manufactures ground radio navi gational aids equipment, includ ing the much publicized TVOR, which is the terminal VHF omni range. In addition, Collins Radio Co. products have been add ed to their line and in the fu ture we will be able to supply the various types of aircraft radio equipment for which Collins Radio is well known. Piedmont Aviation's repair facilities for private and executive aircraft radio and electronic systems have been formally approved with the issuance of Repair Station Certificate No. 1340. It is one of twelve certificates which have been issued in the United States to organizations which have com plied with the C.A.A.'s require ments in C.A.M. 52. Dot Wicker is happy to be back at her desk after a recent ill ness and a hospital stay of 8 days. She was beginning to think that she was a part of City Hos pital after having spent so much time there with her oldest boy who was stricken with polio the -6- day that they were to leave on vacation. We are happy to report that her son has fully recovered. Millie Presto of INT-C, is sport ing a beautiful ring. She is en gaged to Don Cox who is based in INT. Nell Hauldren of INT-C is also wearing a lovely ring on that special finger of her left hand. Best of luck to both of you. It seems that if you want to embark on the road to matri mony, an assignment to INT-C will just about guarantee this happen ing to you. Line forms to the left, girls I INT is now transmitting on the company VHF frequency using a Federal Radio 200 Watt transmitter. We hear that ROA received us loud and clear one day, which is mighty good range for point to point ground coverage on VHF. It is our belief, however, that this phenom enon was caused by freak propa gation conditions. Nevertheless, the use of this higher power, will give INT better fringe area coverage Walt Rollick **************** The man was bragging about his psychiatrist: "My doctor has one piece of equipment there, the minute I saw it I felt better. It's called a nurse". ****************** The best anti-freeze solution, from a woman's viewpoint, is a fur coat. CHW AIMS FOR HIGH "TOTAL" Fall is here and vacations are al most at an end for most of us. Jack is still on his vacation in Minnesota, fishing in the tall timbers. Before we forget it...as if any of us could...the INT picnic was just wonderful. The first time for this gal to attend and meet most of the PAI clan...and I hope not the last. All of us...Christo, Kelley, and I really spent an en joyable day and evening. It was the "bestest" time we've had in many moons. Thanks to everyone I Every station keeps bragging about being over 1000 - Please don*t forget that we're there, too, and keep tuned to these pages for a rise in "Total” in boarding pass engers. Our apologies to NRSA's Saunders, Northington, Brown for "pulling" you from Flight 46 Sept. 6th, but we always have 24 out on Sunday night ... at least we could have rescued a razor for you ... we are sorry! Enjoyed a recent visit from Turby . . . only sorry he couldn't stay longer...hurry back soon. About all this month, but if you want excitement plan to visit CHW on your next "daze" off. .
