Just to tweak the locations a bit.  

There was a Radio School at the Stevens Hotel, Chicago....it was created in midsummer 1942 and closed around July 1943.  The students were tranferred in June '43 to Sioux Falls AAF, SD.   Looks like it operated for about a year, so some students did their entire training there.  You can find an article on this school in the May 2003 issue of WWII Magazine.  The article is titled, 'Chicago's Vertical Army Post'.  Great article on this little known radio school.  Push come to shove, send me an email and I can fwd a copy to anyone having an interest.  My email address is on my Profile.

Does anyone have any info on when the Sioux Falls Radio School initiated its training program?

From my research, I don't believe there was different training for one A/C over another....

Check my thread from yesterday, 'Radio Operator Billets'.  I provide some specifics as to where these guys could end up and the requires the school used to decide where they went.  Perhaps your answer can be found there.

Good info Bill, thanks for sharing that.
