Remember When Paul Young Boosted Coe Wireless Department
The Cosmos announced Paul A. Young of Manchester as a freshman to set up and operate Coe College’s wireless station in 1919, sparking Alpha Delta Alpha’s rise and later Lambda Chi Alpha affiliation. The tale covers aerials, a 12 foot fall, a 2500 mile transmitting radius, and early Midwest radio history led by Prof. Weld and Prof. Peterson.
