BY CARL H. BUTMAN. Immediately following his announce- ment to the radio world that the olass B broadcast wave lengths were exhausted, or practically so, Secretary Hoover wrote to some 30 potential backers of broadcasting stations call- ing their attention to the congested conditions Timely Warning Conveyed. The letter may serve as a timely warning. Ordinarily applications for llcenses are filed upon the completion of stations, but even now it would be useless to apply for a class B license, when there are no vacancies in the ether channels. The names of the organizations reported by district radio supervisors as erecting or con- templating the construction of high- powered stations are not made known by the Secretary, but it is understood that most of them represented re- ligious orders, educational bodles, chambers of commerce, publishers or blg manufacturers. Except for seven pending applications in New York and three in Chicago, most of the re- ported projects were in the South and Southwest; Florida, Texas and Ala- bama concerns were included. They &ro all too late to secure exclusive olass B wage lengths. 0dd Thase Developed. | 1t is curious that so many of these | prospective hroadcast transmitters want to operate where the congestion is at its worst—New York and Chi- cago. More class B stations in ecither city are out of the question, If we are to have any guaranty of good trans. mission and reception. Why some big organizations do not seek to operate in the “sreat open spaces” of radio land is not known. They could func- tion as well, reach just as far and, by remote control lines, be operated from practically any center of business or commerce. Seventy-eight class B stations are now on the air sharing the %7 avall- able wave lengths, and about a dozen more are on the priority lfst, most of them old class A stations seeking a transfer to the more popular route through the cther. During the past Year new stations have come. in so rapidly that the department can't Suarantee anything in advance.

Smith's third evening of radio con- sisted of trying out several new sets, none of which produced any better results than the one he had first installed. But they opened his eyes to the varieties of hook-ups and theories, and made the words super- heterodyne, neutrodyne, regeneration and reflex mean something. Naturally Smith saw what a varl- able thing radio is and how many ways, there are of arriving at some- what the same results. One set brought in a local station with & ground connection alone. Two ope ated on dry batteries alone. But in most cases outside aerial and storage battery were the rule. “It's remarkable,” Smith declared, watching the dealer's radio expert shift from one set to another, “and it would certainly be confusing, too, if I had not made up my mind to absorb a little of it at a time. I realize that in buying a good set to start with I'm plunging rather deeply, but I'd rather learn the theory of it all by picking it up little by little as I gain experience from a set that rewards me for my efforts.” He did not have to wait long to learn & bit of the groundwork, for just as he was busy twirling the selector dial of a regenerative re- ceiver a nelghbor called up to beg him not to buy anything that would disturb the nelghborhood's radio en- jovment. ' Regenerative sets act as miniature, but annoying, broadcasting stations when they oscillate, but thelr programs are anything but accept- able. The advantages of regeneration, however, are possible in other types of Tecelvers such as the neutrodyne, to mention one. Smith was informed that radio would be greatly aided by fewer straight regenerative sets, 50 just to be progressive he crossed this ytpe off his list. He figured he could be a radlo fan without fanning himself out of popularity. Even In his haste to give each of the sets a tryout Smith stumbled over tdeas. First of all he noticed that impatient tuning is the surest way of sacrificing results. The quicker ho tried to tune in for stations the slower he got them. He was not long _in discovering that if you buy Hear the Murdock Neutrodyne OMPARE the Murdock Five Tube Neutrodyne for the quality ofi ts tone; for the [beauty ofits cabinet. its reasonable $100.

Not only that, but in setting up the different sets he discovered how essential it is to make all connec- tions secure. He found that the farther the loose connection is from the final output the more crackling there will be from the loud speaker, for the simple reason that trouble near the input is amplified more than a similar trouble would be from the audio frequency amplifiers on. Of course, he didn’t use these terms, and when the dealer'’s man mentioned radlo frequency In the same breath Smith called a halt on theory and asked for a few plain facts. “I was thinking that perhaps those power wires out front have something to do with the interference we get,” he said. “That's quite possible,” I admitted. “The way we've strung your tem- porary aerial it parallels the power wirea This isn't according to radio Hoyle. What we had better do when stringing up a permanent antenna is to put it on a bias so that, extended, it would cross the power wires and my antenna wire on a sharp angle.
