The “UHF” receiver shown here appeared in the March 1943 issue of Radio Craft magazine. It was sent in to the magazine by Stanley Dowgiala, who reported that the set was designed primarily to pull in police calls in the New York area. He reported that he received calls from Newark Jersey City, New York, Bayonne, and Union City. He also received many FM stations. He notes that the coil consisted of 8 turns for the 42-49 MHz FM stations, and 12 turns for the police calls, meaning that they were probably around 30 MHz.

He also pulled in TV signals, especially WNBT, but didn’t have accurate coil data. The unusual tuner included a variometer coil salvaged from an ancient Zenith. He reported that it worked better than a small variable capacitor.
