With Rev.

The object of the organization is to aid beginners and to further the knowledge of the experienced with investigation of theoretical and practical problems of the radio. In the repertoire of the club's activities are the learning of fundamentals, the analyzing of circuits, transmission and reception of radio communication-studied and applied, visits to several broadcasting stations and visits of general information to telephone network switching control points of Dayton and Cincinnati.
