| ASK ANNOUNCERS - —SPEAK PLAINLY Fans Think Schooling Vital for Those Who Enunciate Poorly. BY CARL H. BUTMAN. The other night I sat through two long numbers rendered by what ap- Peared to be a new and distant sta- tion, only to miss the call letters voiced by the announcer as “station W Blah, Blurr, B'am.” How many fans have had the same trying ex- perience? The answer lies in the query columns of the daily papers and in the radlo magazines. It reaches hundreds daily. There are listeners who can dis- tinguish between WDAF and WEAF, which are both on wave lengths over 400 meters, but few are certain whether an announcer says “WGY” or “WGL” one on 360 and the other 380 meters. Fans are kicking on the enuncla- tion of many radio broadcast an- nouncers, their apparent carelessness id signing off, the slurring of the call letters and the infrequent repetition of the distinguishing call or name during an evening's program. teners fail to log many stations they lLear and are disappointed. Failure to get the call letters or the station name and location, especially among the DX fans, brings hundreds of com- plaints or queries to the radio editors as to what station was transmitting a selection at a certain time on & specific night. These queries are the bane of the radio editor's existence, for, in order to answer them, their publication secking the aid of other fans is often necessary. Such com- Dlaints also show that some stations are failing to gain new listeners, which defeats their primary object. After all, it is for the fans that broad- casting 18 undertaken, so they must be catered to, File Special Complaints. The DX folks file special complaints that brief announcements by call let- ter. owner and city are not made be- fore and after each selection for iden- tifying purposes. They point out that nothing discourages them so much as to pick up a station which they are unable to ‘dentify within a few min- utes. They object to waiting a half hour, especially when they are searching for a specific station. The fault lies chiefly with an- nouncers who do not enunciate slow- ly and distinctly, with a pause be- tween letters or names. While some are unusually good, many seem bored when giving their calls and rush through the letters, probably in an effort to get to the next selection announcement. Over the air many Jetters sound exactly alike. It is dif- ficult to differentiate between the ounds of Y and I, P and B, D and G, and Z and S and F. Station WTAS has solved this to a certain extent by fts sobriquet, *“Willle, Tommie, Annie and Sammie.” Others use per- tinent slogans or phrases which fans soon learn. However, some standard method of positive identification ecessary. B Without going into as complicated and embarrassing a plan as one fan suggests—a schoal of enunclation for broadcasters or carrying criticisms in a separate column in daily papers it is belleved that the significant Jetters could be transmitted to the listener by one of the following plan: 7 Plan Excellent. In the Navy every officer learns an alphabet composed of words instead of letters, so that there can be no mistake when this simple code is used. Under this plan, “afirmative represents the letter a, “baker,” b; “cast,” c; “dog @&; etc. Applylng this plan to broadcast announcing, the speaker might say: “This s sta- tion WRC— Willlam, Roger, Cast, using the representative words, or the KGO announcer might say, “This is station King, George, Optional.” The Signal Corps uses “ack” for & “bough” for b, “caw” for ¢ and “Dan" for d. Perhaps, however, a simpler set of words might be chosen by the stations themselves, but the Govern- ment word alphabets have been used and improved until it is practically impossible to confuse two words, even if half the letters or sounds are missing. Another method is one familiar to all commercial operators and many amateurs—the “Dah-dit” method of transmitting the letters in code, which would soon be learned and re- membered. WNYC would be an- nounced as such by letters followed by “dit dah dah, dah dit, dah dit dah_dah, dah dit dah dit.” While in the office of the chief supervisor of radio the other day, a radio editor in Philadelphia called up and asked for the call letters of some stations. They were given regularly, but checked back by the radio code. Although he failed to get some of the letters spoken by the first method, he repeated them correctly when the speaker in Washington transmitted them by voice code, so to speak. Corridon Praised. Recently L. E. Corridon, the clever call-letter assigner of the Depart- ment of Commerce, has done his best to give broadcasters call letters car- rying some significance. Most of us know that WRC is the Washington Radio Corporation station, and that WNYC is indicative of Wireless, New York City. A few may have noticed that WREO bore some relation to the Reo Motor Company, and that ‘WGBS might be dubbed *“Wireless, Gimball Brothers' Store.” Atlantic City’s new broadcaster probably will have call WGP, intended to carry out the slogan, “World's Greatest Playground,” as WGN is supposed to stand for “World's Greatest Newspa- per.” No one would miss WCCO, once it was known to stand for Wash- burn-Crosby Company, or WEBH, “Wireless, Edgewater Beach Hotel.” However astute the call assigner may be, he cannot hope to fulfill all requests for significant initial letters ror to change all the old calls, so this method cannot be made a standard one. Something must be done to school announcers in pronouncing their sta- tion calls or ald them in putting the name of the transmitting station over %0 we can all get it the first time. e PUZZLE PRIZE ATTRACTS.

B, Radio Editor: It was my privilege Tuesday night to “listen in” on the radio to the pan- American musical program provided by the Radio Corporation of America. It was a privilege, indeed, and I feel that the least I can do is to give public expression to my appreciation in The Star. In a long and eventful ‘career that has taken me to many places in the world, never before have 1 heard a morc enjoyable musical program. All the music, instrumental and vocal, with one exception, was by South American and Mexican composers. The playing of the United States Army Band, under the direction of W. J. Stannard, was superb, and by its technique and proficlency demonstrated that Washington has a band to be proud of, and that can hold its own with the beat. The Chilean singer, Senor Gutierrez, has a magnificent and highly cultivated baritone voice. His selections were beautiful ‘and rendered with an eclat that charmed. Likewlise, Senor Arsenio Ralon, the Guatemalan violinist, was master of his instrument, and played with an expres- sion and tenderness of one with a truly musical and artistic soul. But what I wigh to emphasize is the spiritual value and force of music and the oneness of us all in the musical realm and the RE-CHARGE YOUR BATTERY BY TELEPHONE Phone us before 10 a.m. and we will call for and deliver your battery, fully charged, the same cvening for $150.
