3 + ,Wave lengths produced the usual crop EXPERIMENT HERE N SHORT WAVES | Special Stations Conducting | Radio Trials—Detroit Battles Noises. Washington is becoming an experi- mental center in short wave trans- mission. There has always been the | radio experimental station at the| naval research laboratory at Bellevue, | and another at the Bureau of Stand-| ards, but there are now three more | important stations, frequently heard on the air conducting special tests with other stations. The old WCAP transmitter, recently was licensed 3. h variable wave channels so th 1 tests may be conducted. Some of its more recent work has been in connection with the | tests of the Department of Commerce | and Bureau of Standards regarding radio communicaton and beacon work for airplane reception, in which the ! American Telephone & Telegraph Co. ating. neis Jenkins, Washington radio television inventor, also has a license to operate an experimental statlon known as 3XK. on three differ- ent wave lengths—i5, 144 and 170 mete Two other special stations are ope- rated by members of the Army Signal Corps. ~ One is 3XG, licensed in the pame of Maj. J. O. Mauborgne. The other is known as $XH and is operated by Capt. C. I. Hoppaugh. . ‘Word comes from Detroit that radio listeners have brought pressure to bear on the city council to investi- gate sources of interference that play havoe with radio reception in that area. Complaints have been made that the street raliway power lines have set up upleasant noises in radio receivers in many parts of the city. Mayor John W. Smith appointed a commission to study the street car interference on the ground that the public generally is entitled to clear radio reception, if it can possibly be attained. Engineers connected with the eDtroit broadcasting stations say, however, that the trouble cannot be removed without considerable ex- pense. A radio revue that promises to sur- pass in varfety and merit anything of its kind ever before concocted for broadcasting purposes by a Washing- ton station is advertised as tonight's headliner at WMAL. There will be #n even dozen acts, presented by Washington, Baltimore and New York radio entertainers, and professionals from the theaters. The revue has been arranged by Billy Gedney and officials of the City Club and will be broadcast from the lounge of the clubhouse. ‘WMAL also has added a new feature to its program tonight which smacks of the so-called indirect radio adver- tising or commercial attractions which nightly venture forth into the ether from WEAF and its assoclated sta- tions. A popular broadcasting orches- tra has been engaged for this feature, which, we are advised, will play once & week for 10 consecutive weeks under & new name, Edmund J. Flyan, an authority on co-operative apartments, is WMAL'’s chief speaker. There also will be the science news of the week, which to- night will concern the March heavens, WRC at last has decided to re. Juvenate its Thureday night programs, Wwhich have been rather dull and lack- ing in variety, by adding two new attractions—the Cliquot Club Eskimos, 2 popular banjo organization which has been broadcasting for some time " through a chain of interconnected stations, and the noted Bourdon_ Concert Orchestra of 26 pleces. Both of these features will be heard for the first time through WRC tonight, and if the Washington listen- ers show their approbation, they prob- ably will e a weekly fixture. The Kitt Hour of Music, WRC's principal attraction of local origin, will again present Felian Garzia, con. cert pianist. The Raleigh Orchestra Wwill provide the dinner music and the Le Paradls Band the dance music. A marked improvement was noted in radio reception last night, yet con- . ditions were not as favorable as we expect on such a crisp, cold, blustery night. The ether seemed unable to shake itself clear of static, which did not interfere seriously with the broad- cast signals, but was annoying, Just the same.

Unable to Catch 30 Words a Minute, But Sends Perfectly. British naval radio men are a bit slow at radio code reception, appar- ently, for when the Balboa station, NBA, undertook to send at high speed to H. M. S. Renown recently, the operator was Htgr«’lll,\' snowed under and had to ask for slower transmis- sion than the rate of 30 words per minute sent by NBA with a “bug,” or fast vibroplex key. When the operator at Balboa slow- ed down to about 14 words on the or- dinary radio key, the Renown began to catch up. Despite his slowness in recelving, the Renown operator was given a compliment for his steadiness, perfect radfo discipline and almost au- tomatic transmission. WQJ TAKEN OVER. Chicago Daily News Acquires Bak- ing Powder Station. The Chicago Daily News has taken r the control and operation of WQJ, formerly owned by a baking powder manufacturer, as well as its old transmitter, WMAQ. This gives the paper two stations and undivided use of the 447.5-meter wave band in the Chicago area, unless the new Fed- eral Radio Commission should reallo- cate the broadcast channels. Reports from Chicago indicate that WMAQ soon will become a regular subscriber to the programs of the Natlonal Broadcasting Co. Johns Hopkins Musicale.

This practice was started several years ago by the Naval News Bureau, but {s now augmented by one of the press services and supplemented by further items from the intelligence section sent at high frequency. R The regular news service goes out in long waves at about 2 a.m. and is in code, while the latter budget goes out between midnight and three a.m. on_short waves. The short wave news items are, of 43 course, available only to the ships equipped with high frequency recefv- ers, but it is reported that such ves- self pick them up wherever they are stationed.
