Correspondence from Owen Hamilton to his sister June Meyer (June E. Hooe Hamilton Meyer, 1919-2010 (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81471045/june-e_hooe-meyer). He comments again about his promotion and says he is thrilled. He's going to tell her a bit more about the field of frequency modulation whether she likes it or not! This field is so new it's not even in its infancy, but it will replace the current method of broadcasting after the war. It eliminates static, fading, and interference from other stations, plus the fidelity is better. This will revolutionize the radio field. There are a few of these stations in the East but is limited because it will require a change in the receivers which will take place after the war. He hopes this might mean he can get in on the ground floor of something when he finally comes home. Avon (the school) is a wonderful place and a lot of taxpayer dollars are wrapped up in it. It's about 12 miles from Lexington and he's able to get a ride with a guy who lives in his house. He thinks that he's as near to being in the army and not yet in uniform as he could be. He's beginning to get all the shots they give you on your first day in the Army, but over a period of 3 weeks instead of just one day. Avon is a regular city with paved streets and lots of barracks. When he comes home next month he will bring a picture of the administration building, which is a beauty. There's a post exchange where he can buy things at a discount which is helpful. There ate 100s of enlisted men and officers are a dime a dozen. In frequency modulation they need all the officers they can get, so he stands a good chance of getting a commission if he does well in his work. There are even tanks with radio equipment installed to work on. His 5:30 pm to 2:00 am shift pleases him as it gives him practically all the afternoon off and he is tired enough that he usually can sleep from 230 am to 12:30 pm. He now knows he will be finished in in 5 weeks. This certainty satisfies him. As he looks back over the last 8 months he sees how far he's come and how much he's learned, and so he's glad he stuck it out. It's a grand thing to have worked up to the top of the ladder, which only 1 in 25 do. Either he's very lucky or he's learned something. After he goes into the army he will probably go into the Command Division as that's where this equipment is used. He's glad she's up and around and back at school--with the war on it's easy to get down, so everyone has to watch his health. Is Morgan (her husband) working a lot? He'll be home March 12 as Paul (no further identification) will be home that weekend. He thanks her for the [College] Collection. He hopes he hasn't bored her with his job details, and says that you're not supposed to talk about yourself in letters but that's all he has to talk about.
