This map encourages touring the United States by experiencing radio stations around the country. Radio stations are identified on the map, which is surrounded by two extensive indexes listing the stations by call letter and by kilocycle, and indicating their location and power in watts. The cartouche in the Gulf of Mexico explains how to test the performance of the viewer's radio using a "performance yardstick" that is not included with this example. On verso is text highlighting the radio scene state by state and a keyed illustration showing a Cunningham Radiotron "Studio Party" with caricatures of various radio characters and personalities, including Betty Boop, Walter Winchell, the Shadow, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and more. Self-folding (4.5 x 9.2") into pictorial wrappers. Published by Hagstrom Company, Inc for RCA Radiotron Co.
