D.C. RADID STATION ¢ IS4 YEARS OLD RC Has Proved Popular With Fans From Outset. Four years ago tomorrow. August 1223, Radio Station WRC made Its debut to the public of Washington. Only a handful of listeners heard this program, but when WRC goes on the air temorrow night, celebrating its fourth birthday anniversary. it will {he serving a potential aundiermrce in Washington, Marvland and Virginia of more than 700,000 pers The progress of WRC in the fou wears of its hrief existence, the chan in broadcasting methods, the chanz in the attitude of the zeneral public toward broadeasting is pictured vivid Jy in the mind of Ralph Edmunds, manager of WRC. 1t was Mr. Ed- ho opened W R( nd today 1es to direct its operation. Radio Was Novelty. “In the first vear of our broadeast ing in Washington,” Mr. Bdmunds de clared, “radio wa much of a nov- elty to us as it was to the few peo- ple who heard WRC's opening pro- gram.

However, almost everything | we did seemed to please. But later, when we tied up with Station WJZz and took programs from New York, there was a gradual change in the attitude of the radio audience. No Jonger were the radio fans satisfied with everything we put out. In the mecond year, we received letters which differed materially than those we re- ceived in the first year. And the third Year the letters again changed. In the past year another change has taken place. “Why? you might ask. Radio soon graduated from the novelty class and | became accepted in the same manner | as the telephone is accepted. It is no | longer new or marvelous. It has be-| come a part of the life of the general public. And when radio got out of the novelty class the radio audience became discriminating. Of course, we continued to receive complimentary letters, but a good deal of our mail came from fans who were making crit- icisms, many of them just. They also gave constructive suggestions. They told us what they wanted. In fact, ‘they demanded what they wanted. “When this change came, we for one, was tremendously pleased. We | do not like criticism particularly. No | one does for that matter. But when these criticisms began to come in we realized that radio had been accepted | serjously by radio fans. No longer were we complimented merely because we were broadcasting. The radio pub- lic has changed. Letters Appreciated. ““There is nothing more welcome here mt the station than the letters ‘we have received from the radio pub- lie. We are at last beginning to learn just what the public wants. Here at WRC we do not accept an arbitrary view of radio programs. We do not believe that because we like a certain program that the public will like it. And in these days of broadcastings, we get a quick reaction from our audi- | ence. We can very soon tell whether | or not a certain program is liked. “In four years the technical side of radio broadcasting has changed tre- mendously. We no longer have dif- ficulty in sendinz out our programs and being assured that the radio aud- jence can get 100 per cent reception. | Our engineers have done a wonderful Job here at WRC. We still get com- plaints about our programs but sel- | dom do we hear a kick about recep- tion. “There is one thing we want_to hear and get. That’s criticism. We at the station want to know whether | our various programs are liked. If| the radio fans will let us know, it will help us to improve our programs. “A radio station is maintained to Pplease the public. Our programs are | arranged and planned with that in mind. If we do not please, we are failing in our jobs. But we can only be guided by the views expressed by the radio audience. A radio fan | should never hesitate to criticize any program. And likewise suggestions | most welcome.” last week authorized a few construc: [ tion permits and other changes in broadeast lists, Station WDBK. of Cleve'and heen sold and authority to move transmitter to Akron has heen grant ed W.

Bullard, U. S. N., retired, and chairman of the Federal Radio Commission, as a mem- ber of the United States delegation to the International Radio-telegraph Conference, which meets here in Oc- tober. The United States delegates to the International Radio-telegraph Confer- ence and their technical advisers are holding daily sessions in an effort to unravel the mass of technical detail involved in the suggestions made by some 40 nations regarding amend- ments to the old radio conventions. The complete recommendations made by the participating countries which will be represented. have been translated from French into English and are now in the course of publica- ion by the Government Printing. Of- fice; copies are expected to be avail- able within a couple of weeks. In the meantime, the six American commit- tees are working on the specific prob- lems affecting American interests, and planning a systematic program for the forthcoming sessions. Director Etienne of the National Rureau of the Telegraph Union, which is co-operating with the International Radio-telegraph_Conference and com piled and translated the foreign sug- gestions into French, is expected to HOW TO PUT AWAY SETS.

The Trouble-ShooterSays : What sort of troubles is the other fellow having with his set? If you've never considered this point a good one to think over. You never may have the other fellow's trouble with your present set, but | what of the set you will own next? Some time ago 1 made this sugges- | tion to a friend and he turned it down flat. Later he bought a set identical {with the troublesome one owned by one of these “other fellows” in whose |affaite he had displayed no interest | whatsoever | made a difference. A whole group of radioists may be aving certain difficulties. One manu- -, for example, was obliged to | 'k a number of sets because it | was found that they would not work. | Any one of these might come into the | hands of a radio owner who wasn't | priviteged to know about the general difficulties. He would be a puzzled per- | son if that happened. You seldom hear about the troubles that other people have, and that is why I advocate looking about and keeping your ears open. You can save {a lot of worry by having an advance |idea as to the situation as other people see it One advantage in this plan is that it tends to show up human mistakes as well as mechanical faults in the |sets themselyes. The latter generally are fewer by comparison. | One owner was having all sorts of | troubles, chief of which was a hum- ming sound in the loudspeaker and a harshness of reception that was any- |thing but pleasant. Investigating this {1 found that he was using too much ‘B” power and also_burned the fila- ments too brightly. That excused the set Any other owner of such a set might jerience the same trouble. But would he solve it promptly without knowing the story 1 have just men tioned? delegates are dvisers recently tate Department. Construction Permits Sought. T. Turner of South Fallsburg.
