THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1927. EITHER CLEARANGE AIDS RECEPTION Commission Awaits More Complete Reports After Recent Restriction. Not enough time has elapsed for an altogether fair estimate of the De- cember 1 allocations whereby 25 chan- nels in the ‘‘non-heterodyning band” were cleared by the Federal Radio Commission for the improvement of long distance reception. Nevertheless, | some returns have been oM’nnm! ml telegraphed replies to ing ed to scattered points in the cour For the most part, they indi highly improved reception conditions The reports were from radio ed ite Primarly. month were effe for the purpose of improving the lot of the listener in the rural and re- mote parts of the country by insuring him reception on wave lengths were wholly or almost wholly of the plethora of stations formerly operating simultaneously on channels. Some reported heterodynes on channels supposed to be cl Department of Comn plain that these are ine two stations of 500 watts or more | power are operating at the same time, however far apart they may be. When stations are spaced as far apart as the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards there is a time difference of 3 hours between them, so that their evening programs should not clash anvwhere for more than short periods of time. Reception on all the cleared waves should be ent locally nd within the ord service ranges of the stations using them, but over extremely long distances even now some shrill notes may be anticipated. From New York, the report states that there has been no appreciable change in the metropolitan area, but that there will undoubtedly be con- siderable improvement. New York reception, with its wide variety of stations and programs, has been quite good for some time, and the refer- ence was to distance reception only. Chicago reported that hetween its local area sta‘ions, spaced 50 Kilo- cycles apart, listeners were enabled to dial from one to three outside stations without hearing the old-time squeals. At San Francisco a canvass of dealers brought the report that there has been vast improvement on the higher wave lengths on which DX fans said they could hear stations of the Middle West, East and South. San Francisco also reported much im- provement above 300 meters, although this was the portion of the band into which were crowded all the stations removed from the ‘“non-heterodyning band.” Atlanta reported reception generally improved but that the ‘“‘minor sta- tions” are badly congesting channels outside the cleared band, while an en- thusiastic report came from Fort Worth to the effect that “fan mail” has shown almost invariable pleas- ure at improved reception. In Washington clarified reception was evident from the first night of the new allocations, although there were local heterodynes on wave lengths on which there was no good cause for interference under the al- locations. This indicated that some stations must still be wandering from their assigned frequencies. The weekly Aeolian recital and a tabloid version of von Weber's ope! *“Der Frieschutz,” are among the pri: eipal attractions tonight of WRC. The recital will be presented by Irene Scharrer, pianist, and Miss Mischa ‘Weisbord, a young violinist. Outstanding among the station’s features of local origin are the re- sume of the political situation in ‘Washington by Frederic William Wile and the Kitt Hour >f Music, which will present Earl Carbauh, baritone; Bob Carbauh, xylophonist, and Lillian Carbauh, pianist. ‘Twelve instrumental and four vocal selections, together with one joint vo- cal and instrumental number, will be included in the program of the Good- rich Zipper Orchestra and Silvertown Quartet, to be hegrd at 9:30 o'clock. A surprise featu vill be a brief tab- loid version of an old musical comedy. The Ipana Troubadours, Waldorf- Astoria Orchestra and the W., B. & A. Male Quartet are other WRC attrac- tions. A musical by the Washington Com- posers’ Club and_the weekly Bruns- wick Panatrope Hour are the chief musical attractions tonight of WMAL. from rural “the shifts of this P ‘The latter will feature concert art-| . ists and popular music, while a num- ber of prominent Washington mu sicians and singers will take part in the musical.

Most of the American stations now have four call letters, and it is said that the change would result in con- sion and work a hardship to many stations which have won a large fol- lowing of listeners under the present 4|0"\5L|1 ations.

I stations transact much more business than the ships, and as the call letters are repeated three times in sending messages, the lesser number of letters was assigned to the busier stations to expedite traffic. U. S. Gets Three Letters. Radio men believe, however, that the big tran: anic liners which han- dle many radio messages are entitled Three | rs were officially allo- cated to the United States—K, W and N. This means that this country will use combinations beginning with these letters. Exclusive use of these letters adds a large number of calls to those now available in this country, since the stations formerly could not u those beginning with KA, KB and K The N's are all used by the Navy while the Army uses those beginning with WU, WV, WX, WY and WZ. Canada has the combinations CFA to CKZ and VAA to VGZ, while Mexico uses XAA to XFZ. Strikes Prove Costly.
