Esthetic and euphonious names for | radio broadcasting stations to supple- | ment the cold, mechanical system of | call letters that must be maintained by international agreement are fondly | | hoped for by leaders in radio. Names resembling those of theaters, possessing charm and beauty, are pro- | posed to replace the unpronouncable series of consonants that now identify | &Il of the more than 600 broadcasting | stations in_the United ‘States, “The Voice - of . Heaven,” “Sunshine Alle % “The Invisible ~Enchantment,” and similar designations are suggested for adoption by. stations. Then it also is proposed to call stations by their actual ommutlon names, such as “Westinghouse,” “Crosley,” and the tke. The call letter system would have to be maintained, but the idea is to relegate them to the records and use them as mere docket designations in the regulation of radio. The call let- ters, it is contended, are “Greek" to most people and impede the progress of radio, because they are difficult to remember and Are meaningless except to the dyed-in-the-wool fans. Yachts Are Numbered. Radio Commissioner O. H. Caldwell is a staunch advocate of the plan, while his colleague, Harold A. La- Fount, believes it will do much toward the uplifting of radio. Yachts and motor boats, for example, says. Mr. Caldwell, are required by law to be registered and are designated = with registration numbers allocated serially. But they invariably are given names that have appeal, and are known gen- erally by these names and not their serial numbers. Stations of national popularity, like KDKA and WGY, attach great value to their call letters, which, because of their long standing, have become trade marks. Consequently, it would be diffi- cult for them as well as for many other stations to forsake designations that are backed by reputations built by service and time. By a gradual process, however, such stations could convert listeners to whatever names were selected and still maintain the following and prestige conveyed by the call letters. Ardently endorsing a departure from the present system is Pranklin Y. Gates, engineer of the Fedeal Radio Commission. The call letter system. method of designating ship stations, to eliminate wastage that would be -en- tailed by spelling out names of ves- sels when addressed by wireless. This is all right for radio telegraph, he says. but when it comes to radio tele- phony or “broadeasting” it is a bur- den. Contests Suggested. It i= not proposed to have this sys- tem of names for stations made man- datory. The hope is that the move- ment will gain momentum and that all stations will fall in line. Many math- ods of bringing this about are pro- posed.

The present call letter system has been in effect since 1912. The Inter- national Radio-Telegraph Convention assigned the letters K, W and N to the United States. The N was awarded the Government, primarily for naval station use and the K's and W's for | commercial stations. although some of | the latter are used by Government sta- tions. The procedure followed is to use all possible combinations of K's | and W’s in three and four letter series in rotation. The W's ‘with but few exceptions are assigned broadcasting stations east of the Mississippi and the | K's to stations west of the Mississippi. (Copyright. 1928. by Consolidated Press.)
