New York UHF-TV Project of the FCC

The Federal Communications Commission is in the process of conducting a test of UHF television in New York City to determine the technical and economic feasibility of using this band to provide satisfactory television service to large cities with special emphasis on the canyon areas of such cities. This paper summarizes the Project organization and provides a progress report. Since the transmitting installation has just been brought into a near completion stage, and the Project will last for another year, this is a discussion of the method of attack rather than a report of results obtained.
