Mercer Vocational Students Build Own Radio Station
Mercer County Vocational School students under teacher S A Whitt construct a radio station named W86DK with 1000 watt capacity, likely 200 to 300 watts average, used by a radio club of 12 members to study experimental operation and radio law, to prep for future licensing. The project earns praise from state education officials and may evolve into an educational program for aspiring commercial radio operators. A separate note estimates forty thousand white tailed deer are killed annually within 300 miles of New York City.
