| 释义 |
KDPM was a radio station operated by the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. It was first licensed, with sequentially issued call letters, in early 1921,[2] and was constructed at the company's Cleveland plant on West 58th Street and Bulkey Boulevard (later Memorial Shoreway).[3] KDPM initially was not a broadcasting station, and instead was used for point-to-point communication with Westinghouse's headquarters at East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the early 1920s Westinghouse established a number of broadcasting stations, and was interested in developing technologies for linking them together. In early 1923 KDPM was issued an additional authorization to transmit on the standard "entertainment" broadcasting wavelength of 360 meters (833 kHz).[4] Beginning on March 4th it was used as the primary station for the initial tests of using shortwave transmissions to distribute programming originating from Westinghouse's KDKA in East Pittsburgh.[5] For these tests KDKA, in addition to its normal operation on 360 meters, transmitted on shortwave wavelengths from 80 to 100 meters (3750 to 3000 kHz), for local rebroadcasts on 360 meters by KDPM as well as WBZ in Springfield, Massachusetts.[6] During its time as a broadcasting station, almost all of KDPM's programming originated at KDKA. The shortwave relay used by KDPM was judged to be successful, however Westinghouse soon decided to move its relay target to the geographical center of the United States, and switched to a newly constructed station, KFKX in Hastings, Nebraska. KDPM reverted to its original use for company interplant communication,[7] although its authorization for entertainment broadcasts was not formally deleted until early 1926.[8] The station soon ended its remaining operations, and was deleted in late 1927.[9] References1. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=VGs3AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA674#v=onepage&q&f=false "Broadcast Relay on 100 Meters"] by Howard Allen Duncan, Science and Invention, November 1923, page 674. 2. ^[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hxhh8g;view=1up;seq=702 "New Stations"], Radio Service Bulletin, March 1, 1921, page 2. 3. ^"Condon's Column: Retiring Engineer Recalls Early Days" by George E.
