RADIO AMATEURS WARM) BY FCC; PENALTY GIVEN Letter Discusses Illegal Practice By Local Students . A warning in the form of a letter from the . Federal Communications Commission was received by the ad ministration yesterday xoncerning the illegitimate use of radio phonograph pick-ups by University students. Ac companied by a four page treatise on the proper use of such devises, the let ter mentioned the stiff penalty that is imposed on violators of the national law. The letter continued to say that tests have been made from various other states and that programs emanating from unlicensed stations in the Uni versity have been heard several hun- ! dred miles from here. The reason for this long range, it explained, is that students attach the pick-ups to radio antennae and alter the construction so that they become small broadcast ing stations. The law states that these devises may transmit an intelligible signal for a distance of not greater than 80 feet and that anyone operating any form of radio frequency transmitter with a range of more than this distance must have a license to do so. Anyone convicted for violation of this ruling is liable to a heavy fine and possible imprisonment.
