This was the cover of the February 1942 issue of Electronics Magazine.
The article detailed the emergence of the new American Network,
a linking of seven FM stations that distributed programming from
Philadelphia to northern New England. The key station in the network
was Major Armstrong's W2XMN in Alpine, New Jersey. Franklin M. Doolittle's
W65H on Meriden Mountain in Central Connecticut, which later
became WDRC FM, was a member of the network.
The American
Network was short-lived, discontinuing in 1944. But by 1947 Doolittle
and Armstrong were again partners in The Continental
Network.
