Young Man Installs Wireless Station at Tipton.

Ora Coppock, age twenty, an interested student of wireless telegraphy, has been ambitious to make Tipton a station and with his own apparatus, manufactured at home has erected what he terms an “aerial,” high above the tree tops, near his dwelling. He was desirous of getting in touch with the station at Michigan City and this was accomplished so easily that he became enthusiastic and has sent for sensitive instruments hoping to catch flashes from New York and other cities.
