Cover of Radio News 8, no. 8 (February 1927)

In red type against a yellow background, the masthead features above a full-bleed water-color image depicting a large, remote radio installation at night. Power lines march in from the horizon, punctuated by mountain peeks. In the foreground, beneath a starry sky, is a square, white-brick building with windows that run from floor to roof. Completely engulfing the building is a red super structure of scaffolding, toped by a radio antenna aimed at the sky. On the ground, tiny in comparison to their surroundings, people mill about on a dirt path that winds its way toward the installation. The caption asks, “Can We Radio the Planets?”
