Abstract :
Rebroadcasting of National Broadcasting Company originated television programs from New York, N. Y., by station WRGB in Schenectady, N. Y., has been carried on since 1940. Until 1947 this was done by receiving the New York signal near Schenectady and employing a short 160-megacycle link. Since that time a 4-link microwave relay has been in use on frequencies in the 2,000-megacycle region. This installation has shown definite advantages and is applicable for systems requiring a small number of links, with line-of-sight paths up to 60 miles.
