Officials of the Commerce Depart- ment report that the schedule of new lengths for broadeasting sta tions has met with a cordial recep- tion throughout the country, and that improvement in reception is noted ale most everywhere. All nine radio supervisors report satisfactory results in the allocation of the class B and A wave lengths, tating that almost all listeners-in are experlencing better reception than ever before in summertime. Last point out, some 500 sta- tions were operating on 400 and 360 meters, whereas today the B stations have some nearly forty exclusive na- tional waves, and the A stations have thirty-one waves assigned individ- ually in the nine radlo districts. More than 300 of the old_ statlons continue in class C, satisfled, appar- ently, to operate on 350 meters. Ex- perts of the department express sur- prise at this condition; they hoped for early applications for transfers to class A and B, with independent wave lengths. ‘Although no new stations are being licensed under class C, the fact that over 300 stations, scattered all over the country, continue to wave ilrnuknfll on the 360-meter wave tends to maintain interference which was expected would be eliminated.

A speaker of WEAF once placed hi watch on the pedestal beside the mi- crophone to time his talk, the ticks of the watch were so loud that they mixed with the words in & disturbing manner. Telephone calls from listen- ers, informed the announcer and_the watch was quickly removed. Last January, when radlo telephone tests were conducted across the Atlantic, & man coughed in New York and it was heard in England. Seventy-one years after a trip across the continent in a covered wagon, Esra Meeker told the story by radio, and his voice was taxed less than if he had described the journey in the living room of his home. It l | took him five months, traveling by ox team, at the rate of two miles an hour, to cross the country. More than three score and ten years later the story of the Oregon trail, Indlans, | prairie schooners and the epidemic of cholera, which struck the column as it advanced through the Platte val- ley, was broadcast over the country at the speed of sunlight and with less effort than it required to speak to friends present in the studio. May End Interference. Interference by different radio transmitting stations, the bane of the radio operator's existence, may be largely eliminated as a result of a series of experiments conducted by physicists at the United States bu-! reau of standards. The experiments deal with two main factors, directional antennae for transmitting and receiving, and the use of exceedingly short wave lengths. With a few exceptions radio com- munfcation has been conducted on wave lengths of not less than 200 me- ters, and there has been comparative- 1y little experimentation on shorter lengths. The bure. experimenters are using a wave length of only ten meters. The directional antennae used apply virtually the same principles involved in the searchlight. The waves from a small generating set are reflected by a parabolic reflector of hanging wires, and just as the searchlight sends a narrow beam of light in parallel lines for a long distance, so does the parabolic reflector collect and send out In almost parallel lines the radio impuises. At least 75 per | cent of the radiated power is sald to be confined to an angle of 40 de- grees. The apparatus as constructed is small, but strong signals have been | rece! d from It at a distance of two miles, using a single turn coll anten na six inches in diameter. The ad- vantage of using short length waves is sald to le In the fact that short ve stations can be more easily tuned out” than those employing lengths in the hundreds or thousands of meters.

There are 595 active radio broad- casting stations in the United States and its possessions, the latest records of the Department of Commerce show. Of these 180 are in class A, 42 in class B, 372 in cl C and one In the experimental class. A galn of four stations {s shown over the survey made June 1 During the past two weeks sixteen stations stopped transmitting and falled to renew their licens One new class B statlon, located at Zion, 1L, and eight new class A stations were licensed last week and seven class C stations in @s many states, operating on 360 meters, were trans- ferred to class A with speclal wave lengths. One of the new class A stations is In Lihue, Hawall, which brings the total broadcasters in Hawall to four, the three others continulng as class C statlons. WMAK to Be Remodeled. Station WMAK at Lockport, N. Y. has discontinued broadcasting except the weather and farm reports. Th station will be remodeled and altera- tions will be made in the transmitter, after which it will open as a cl B station. The work is expected completed in September.

Further reports from the naval alr station at Pensacola, Fla., on the suc- cess that has heen attained in teach- ing radio code to student aviators in their sleep give interesting informa- tion on the progress of this novel and useful experiment. In fact it may be sald that the experimental stage in the trials. has been past and the method has become standard, as a means of saving students from fail- ure in the course. * When the test was started twelve students were unsatisfactory in thelir progress in radlo code. After two nights during which radio code was sent to the students in their sleep only two of the students were un-| satisfactory, and these two men hud left before the experiment was fin- ished, professing disbelief in it. The procedure has been to have the students sleep on the tables In the radio room where the code Is taught in the regular school periods. Oper- ators send messages at varying #peeds all night.
