With the completion of its inves- tigations the Anacostia radio labora- tory must devote the time formdrly employed In the popular experimental broadcasting: serviee to other inves- tigations and developments in radio. Radio fans residing. in mearly half the states of the Unlon:and also in Canada have formfed a lgng-distance acquaintance with NO¥' through the medium of its radiated ether'or radio waves. . Z These waves have carried . the equivalent of the human voice. con- stituting announcements and lectures and the equivalent of music produc- ed. by orchestras. and,massed bands fo many thousands of homes through- out our eastern, southern and middle- Capada. Experiments Are Profitable. The . broadcasting experiments re- sulted in valuable information being made available fo the Navy radio ex- perts at the Anacostia laboratory which could not be obtained in any other way, while at-the same.time affording pleasure and wholesom? en- tertainment to thousands of our peo- ple in their homes. . They were thus mutually beneficial to the Navy radio and to the gen- eral public and without.coet to any one. . They enabled the melodies produc- ed by the United States Marine Band and the Navy Yard Band to be car- rled to thousands of people in isclat- ed pections who otherwise could not hope to hear these bands play. Thousands Lend Hand. The broadcasting of the music of theso bands constituted & unique and | almost nation-wide radio experiment. Thousands of radio fans throughout a lurge section of the-country par- ticipated in these experiments by sub- mitting reports of results obtained at distant points and by offering con- structive criticisms: The data -thus -made - available, whether of a technical nature or otherwise, proved of great value to the naval radlo experts at Anacostla. As it Is impracticable to make indi- vidual acknowledgements, the thenks of those in charge of the work at the sta- tion are extended fhrough these columny to all who participated. The radio fan associates in these ex- | periments may rest assured the results of theee experiments will materially atd in the further de- velopment of the radiophone and will enable improved radio telephone transmitters to be produced for.the Navy. - NOF will cease broadcasting as of January 3, 1923. !
