“Yes, We Have a Radio Station” was an article featured in the October 24, 1923 edition of The Trend. During this time, the university was operated under the name Oklahoma College for Women.

“This is Station KFGD, of the Oklahoma College for Women, located at Chickasha, Okla., broadcasting.” This is the words of a voice that is being sent out through the (?) to all parts of the universe by the new O.C.W. broadcasting radio set, that has been in operation for three weeks.

The college gets the broadcasting station through the cooperation of the Chickasha Radio and Electric company, which has been broadcasting here for some time and which, after discussing the mater with G. W. Austin, president of the school, consented to install the station at the college and broadcast all programs during the year.

The sending station has been installed in a small dressing room to the north of the stage in the administration auditorium. According to J.M. Baldwin, who installed the station and who will operate it, the room makes an ideal location for a broadcasting station, in that it is near the stage and the ampliphone can be placed just back of the stage on a pedestal and the program that is being given to an audience can be broadcasted without the slightest disturbance.

Mr. Baldwin stated that the plush curtains around the stage make an ideal studio for broadcasting musical programs, as the plush minimizes the echo. He stated that it was very fortunate that such was the case as almost every station was usually forced to build a special studio.

The KFGD is a specially-built 10-watt station and has recently established a record on low-power, long-distance transmission, as it was clearly heard in Esperance, Wash., a distance of 1,800 miles.

J.M. Baldwin, a government licensed radio operator, will have charge of the station. He has made a study of radio tactics for three years and built the sending set that he has installed in the college. HE was also associated in the building of the WOAA station at Ardmore. He will broadcast on 248 meters.

The set has been tested this week and proves to be in excellent shape for the first program. A number of the sets in Chickasha have tuned in on the test programs and find that they are coming in very distinct, according to reports today.
