How do you know where on what numbers the stations WOW, KOIL. KFAB, etc., come through?A. Reasonably modern radio sets in good mechanical condition are so numbered as to agree with the frequency of the station to which you are tuning. For instance, KFAB has a frequency of 770 kilocycles. On sets numbered from 0 to 100 this would appear at between 75 and 77; on sets numbered between 100 and 150 it would appear at 770; similarly KFOR, 1210 kilos, is found on the 0 to 100 dial at 120. Older sets are not this accurately calibrated, and stations frequently turn up at odd spots on the dial There is no fixed rule for dialing in these cases.Q.
