26 RADIO FANS FEAR HELD UNFOUNDED High-Power Stations May Provide All Programs in Future. BY CARL H. BUTMAN. Following the announcement by the Radio Corporation that a 30-KW broadcast transmitter was contem- plated, Secretary Hoover was the recipient of many protests from fans who feared that all other broadeast-| ers would be blanketed and their zets injured by transmissions with this great power. This RCA station is not built, but there is a station in the midst of| radio land which is authorized to use as high as 50,000 watts experi- mentally, and which has used as high am 8,000 watts on short-wave lengths, Not a soul has complained of inter- ference, and few have known that this great power was unleashed. The wave lengths used are too low to be recelved on ordinary sets. This atation is our old and trusted friend KDKA, which has been authorized to employ varying power on short-wave or high-frequency transmission in connection with developing rebroad- casting. Fans' usurpation broad- may look the pioneer fear this they Fans need not of the ether by canter: rather ward with assurance toward a means of relaving radiophone pro- grams. The plan is to transmit simul- taneously important and exceptional broadcast features clear across thei country, just as the Bell System de- livers its big feature programs to sev-| eral client broadcasters by wire and the Radlo Corporation connects its several stations Engincers of the Eloctric and Manufacturing lieve that this short-wave { svstem eventually will be used to| cover this country and probably the entire earth with broadcast programs, which staticns properly equipped can pick up and retransmit locally. If the system now in operation between IKDKA at East Pittsburgh and KFKX at Hastings, Nebr,, was extended, with { statlons at Paris and London, inter- national broadcasting could be estab- lished much more readily and prob ably mora efficiently than by means of proposed superpowered ‘tran mitters, they believe. The short- wave system would prevent Inter- ferance in the broadeasting band, and would make the programs available for rebroadcasting by authorized stations High Power Unmeeded. In other words, although ene of the two broadcasting ment stations. is permitted to go as high as 50 kilowatts in power, it is elieved that such hizh power will never be needed, due to the surpris- ing ease with which short waves travel even in daylight. The experi- ment going forward may be a means of aiding the smaller broadcasters Last October the experiments of the Westinghouse engineers reach- ed the peint where perfection of the short-wave transmission was realized A dinner concert by a well known | orchestra was successfully picked up by a special short-wave recelver at| the Hotel Savoy In London, where the guests danced to Pittsburgh music. During the international broadcasts KDKA's short wave was raported as heard consistently in Eu- rope throughout the tests. A year ago a special 's program for- | | i Fears Unfounded. i | | new | | | | Westinghouse Co. be- repeating KDKA, develop- New Year's from the Pittsburgh station was re- ceived at 2 LO, London, on a short- wave set and repeated for the fans In Great Britain from eight stations of the Britich Broadcasting Co. Last spring a Spanish program was trans- mitted from KDKA and KFKX to <everal points in South America and South Africa. Programs on short waves have also gone to the Far North succes=fully Testx Begnn In 1920, i In the interest of developing broad- easting transmission for long dis- tances, without greatly increased power. Westinghouse engineers began experimenting in 1920, actually before KDKA was licensed as a regular hroadcaster. Assistant Chief Engineer Frank Conrad had a hobby: it was to communicate by radio with J. C. Ram- | sey of Boston. He used a 100-watt set and sent his mesages on a wave length of 230 meters, but reception in Roston was never excellent and often impossible, especially in the Summer. These two men continued thelr ex-| periments, however, employing short- er wave lengths rather than higher power. Further experiments between r. Conrad’'s Wilkensburg station and Mr. Ramsey's station in Boston with the co-operation of R. D. Decker and the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology station, in 1921, covering se eral of the shorter wave lengths showed a zain in received sign strength with the shortening of the wave length. A decrease in interfer- ance 2150 noted Improvemenis in enna followed. €o-meter wave reliability was than meters. Finally Vice President P. of the Westinghouse Com- pany, wn as the “father of radio Lroadcasting authorized Mr. Conrad to construct a new high-powered short-wave transmitter. This became an auxiliary at station KDKA and carried simultaneously the regular KDKD program on %0 meters. Vari- ous transmission difficulties were found, but were finally overcome. A test with a broadcas station at Cleveland showed that short-wave =ignais on %1 and 80 meters were re- ceived much louder than the regular KDKA broadeasts, nd that daylight reception was better. Problems Encountered. Technical difficulties, especially in istortion, were encountered, but eventual reports from several places in the United States indicated that it might be possible to cover the coun- try on short waves. The erection of KFKX at Hastings, Nebr, with a view to transcontinental relayving was the fmmediate result and two new 10-KW transmitters were authorized. The first real test was in November, | 1923, when 2 talk given in Pittsburgh | w transmitted from KDKA on 100 meters, picked up by KFKX, and re- transmitted on 256 meters, on which wave length it was received gatisfac- torily at Salt ‘Lake City. This was the first short wave long-distance re- lay, the engineers point out 1t is believed that ultimately this ¢ means of broadcast relaying will be employed the Westinghouse Co. to distribute a single high-class pro- gram from a central station. That is, | KFKA will put on a program just as WEAF does, sending it out on non- interfering short waves instead of on wires to all its stations, including KFKX, Hastings KYW. Chicago; KDPM, Cleveland; WBZ, Springfield, KGO, San Francisco, and probably many other broadcasters. FRE Class Visits Annapolis.
