BUTMAN Pittsburgh There are today 30 stations broad- | casting with power in excess of 500 watts, and complaints filed with the | Department of (ommerce are very | few. On the whole, the increased | power seems satisfactory, and prob ably before the Summer is over more high-powered stations will be operat ing. When the question of increased| broadcasting power was raised during | the natlonal radio conference. some of the smaller station owners and many fans expressed the fear that hundreds of statlons would be blanket ed or that receivers would only be able to pick up the high-powered sti tions. This has not proven to be the case. On the contrary, broadcasting | seems to have improved, in that more distant stations are available to listen ers, some even tune sharper than be fore the increase in power. interfer ence from static has been decreased fading is less pronounced and dayligh reception is better.

An examination of the list stations using over 1,000 watts. 1s the ordinary limit f etations, shows that are 2,000 watts, and nine, 1500 Most of the fans know the calls of these stations by heart, which indl eates that they come in well almost’ anywhere in the country on good re- | ceiving sets. The four 2-kilowatt stations are: WEAF, American Tele- | phone and Telegraph Co., New York; | WLW, Crosley, Harrison, Ohio; KGO, General Electric Co., Oakland, Calif., and KFI, Earle C. Anthony, Los Angeles, Calif. Those using 1500 watts, or 1l kilowats, are: KYW, Chicago; WBZ, Springfleld; KFKX, Hastings; WGY, Schenectady; WTAM Cleveland; WOC, Davenport; WCCO, Anoko, Minn.; WCBD, Zion, and KOA Denver. are all pretty well distributed. are owned by private organiza tions except that three are General Electric Co. stations and three are owned by the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co. The Bell System operates one, the others being owned by radio manufacturers and other organizations. It does not seem - to indicate a radio monopoly. The Radio Corporation is not represented di rectly, although two large electric manufacturing companies control six stations together. There is, of course, another high-power station, but it operates under a rather unique! license: it is the broadcasting develop ment station KDKA at Pittsburgh. This station, owned by the Westing house Co., is licensed to use varying power up to 10 kilowatts, but ordl narily it is understood to operate with about § kilowatts, except when con ducting special tests, usually when other stations are silent. It is never complained of, but on the other hand is heard neariy everywhere. of whieh | B| using watts. | set class Schenegtady Omaha: Vi Pittsbyrgh York York four New 00—New York New York Greater ale York Chicago 3:15—Atlantic City Ne 30—Cleveland: ¢ Philadelphia Omaha: Ve vocal so cinnati icago ontreal 00—Phil Philadelphia Hansas City 10—Minneapoli servic 00—Kansas City Springfield Atlanta Chicago Chicago New York Tw a Li Oaltland 00—New York Springheld Chape Dallas: ¥ Bible sty 7:15—New York broadcas! 30—Chicago None of Superpower Grade. None of these stations is really a superpower _station, which was de cried as impractical and undesirable when mentioned at the last radio con- ference. Before many months, how ver, it is expected that the Radio Corporation will open a very high powered station somewhere outside New York for national broadcasting. Originally it was ‘Intended that it be a 60-kilowatt station, but the depart ment has never officially stated that this power would be authorized. It is lkely that the new R. C. A. station may be licensed at 5 kilowatts or pos sibly 10 kilowatts until it is tested out Practically all the above stations| are situated some distance from the radio congested limits—that is, several miles bevond the limits of large cities where several broadcasters are in operation. By remote control from their municipal studios these broad casters are enabled to function with out blanketing local stations. This is one of the conditions imposed when high power is authorized by the De partment of Commerce: it fs believed that the distance outside cities shoull be from 15 to 20 miles for satisfactory operation without undue interference in congested districts. Another stipu lation is that If interference is in creased. the station must decrease its power or desist. So far no complaints received have been considered serious enough to warrant holding the power increases down. Eventually they w get to the present limit, 5 kilowatts but they may only increase their pow er in steps of 500 watts at a time until tested out thoroughly Aim of the Department. The radio officials of the department are looking forward to a study of the effect and reliability of these stations during the Summer season, which starts soon anticipate that by June several of the existing high-powered transmitters will have increased their power further to see if they can overcome the static, and carry to greater distanc Reports indicate about 10 other stations are contemplating the use of increased power. Some radio experts consider that the granting of higher power—that is, over | 1,000 watts—is o definite step in ad- vance in radio broadcast progre: They anticipate all-year-round trans- mission with satisfactory daylight re ception practically throughout the country The power bugaboo which it was feared would hold back radio develop- ment work kas apparently disap peared, for although thousands of fans protested against the increase in advance, scarcely a dozen have Jected to the increases author| In the ranks of the regular licensed B stations, there are 10 statlons using 1,000 watts, and 6 operating with 750 watts—all potential high-powered sta- tions, it is believed. The 1.000 watters include: KJR, Seattle; WBAP, Fort| Worth; Cleveland; WEBH, ) Chicago; WJY, New ; 1t Lake; WKRC, Cin- cinati; WNYC, New York, and WTAS, Elgin. The 6 750-watt stations are KFMX, Northfield, Minn.; KJS, Los Angeles; KOB, State College, N. M.; KSD, St. Louis; KTW,, Seattle, and WGR, Buffalo. Tt is probable that with the delivery of new 5-kilowatt transmitters, practi- cally all 30 of these stations operating at over 500 watts will apply for addi- tional power, and that before many months we shall have a group of 30 major of national broadcasters on the air, in 15 different States. Of these 30 stations, New York and Illinois have 5 each, Ohio has 44, California 3, Minne. sota and Washington 2 each, and the other 9 States 1 apiece, showing a falrly general distribution, which should insure reception of most of them in all other States. s0l01 New York 45—Pitteburgh Daveoport a York York York rities. jointiy w and Wi Chicago: Sel Chicago musical 00—YNew New Towa City Chicago: Cla Los_Angeles Church 30—Evangelical Cincinnati Atlanta ow York Philadelphia, 45— Minneapolis ices ..

Recently in his laboratory before several governmental experts he made test for record in which he pro- ted a short movie film from room to another quite successfully. The film, depicting a Dutch windmiil, was pasted together into a continuous belt and inserted in Mr. Jenkins' radio projector, the impulses being carried to a large antenna on the roof of his Connectieut avenue laboratory, where a small recelving aerial, a short dis- tance from it, picked up the radio ema nations, rrying them below to an- other room in the laboratory, where the recelving apparatus was set up. In this room the witnesses observed on a small &creen a fairly good repro- duction of the moving windmill. They report that there was considerable flickering, just there was in the early moving pictures, but state em phatically that the moving picture was reproduced by radio transmission. Within a few weeks Mr. Jenkins plans to install one or two radio mov. ing picture receivers in the homes of governmental officials in in radio development, the selected being several miles from the labovatory. From ory he proposes to trans- mit regular motion picture film by means of his radio projector, antlc- ipating successful reception and re production on the receiving screens in the residences of the officials.

Mr. Werren rath is one of America’s beloved sing ers, but is also a radio fan. His con clusions are drawn from observations made during constant travel and appearances before high-class ert audiences. ‘The impetus originally given to America’s love of music by the phono. graph has been greatly augmented by radio and is advancing America’s musical apprecfation to hitherto un known stages,” he asserted. “Under- stand,” he continued, “I'm not dis-, cussing the quality of radio music.

It is the big transmitters which run up the totals and not the small re celving sets. In 1922 England's radio imports from this country increased five fold: Norway took $10,049, against $95 in 1921. On the other hand, soma few ntries were a_little slow in developing their broadcasting facili ties.
