KGO, the second of three super-broadcasting stations planned by the General Electric Company, came on the air January 8th (1924) on a wavelength of 312 meters.
KGO is operating at a power of 1000 watts, although for the purposes of testing and experiment this power can be increased.
KGO will not be limited entirely to its own studio for programs, for, by means of pick-up circuits, church services, dance orchestras, important public gatherings, and theatre productions, as well as athletic contests, can be broadcast.
KGO was one of the few stations then to have a duplicate of every piece of transmitting equipment, so that the station could stay on the air in the event of equipment failure.
In December of 1924, KGO was authorized to increase its power to 1,500 watts under a special arrangement with the government that provided for gradual increases in increments of 500 watts until the station was found to be interfering with other broadcasters.
KGO began operating with one of the first crystal-controlled transmitters in 1926, and was recognized by the Bureau of Standards as a "constant frequency station".
