[BC] First FM Radio

[rj carpenter]

The February 1942 issue of Milton Sleeper's FM magazine lists W45V in 
Evanville as maintaining a full schedule. Westinghouse W49FW Fort Wayne 
was probably not on the air. No other Indiana FMs were shown as granted 
by the FCC by Feb 17, 1942.

Chicago and New York City were the big FM toans at the time, both having 
four stations running full schedules, plus some experimental operations 
in New York (ie: Armstrong/W2XMN, W2XQR/WQXR, and NBC/W2XWG).
