THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Behind the BY THE RA . Another week under the fre- quency reallocations failed to bring about a decided change in Jhdio reception conditions, de- spite optimistic reports from the Federal Radio Commission of con- finued Improvement generally throughout the couatry. Snarls and heterodynes are still observed in the broadcasting band, | but the commission holds they re due largely to the wobbling | of many stations from assigned frequencies, and not to flaws in the basic plan. In fact, Commis- sioner O. H. Caldwell, who has supervision over the first radio district, which embraces Wash- ington, is quoted by a New York newspaper as expressing the be- lief that the difficulties remaining to be clgared up are psychological more t#an technical. Federal radio inspectors, how- ever, are reporting many cases of flagrant off-frequency operation. More than 20 already have been turned over to the commission, | which has threatened to make| horrible examples of the most | serious of these offenders. One; of the penalties proposed is a 60- | day suspension of the broadcast- | ing license of those stations which | have deviated more than 1,000/ cycles—twice the allowable off- course operation—with the pos—‘ sibility of summary removal from | the air for consistent or more | flagrané violations. | Deviatlons of this magnitude | ruin not enly the particular sta-| tion’s .o 'm as far as the listen- | ers are concerned, but also the! programs of innocent stations on the two adjoining wave channels| through which they swing. Proper | equipment would enable the sta—' tions to keep their alignments| accurately and eliminate per-| haps much of the present criti-| cism of the new broadcasting set-‘ u; | b % % X X ‘ In an effort to determine to| some extent reception conditions in several of the large broadcast- ing centers within a radi:'s of ap- proximately 500 miles of Wash-| ington, The Star radio department i last week telegraphed the radio | editors of newspapers in these| localities for concise summaries of | | the effect of the wave length| shake-up. The replies, whilel varied, were intensely interesting and gave support substantially to reports received by the commis- sion from listeners. The concensus of these radio| editors is that the slight improve- ment in local reception has been offset by increased “interference from cross talk and heterodyning of the distant stations. * %k ¥ X ‘The situation in New York as| found by Lloyd Jacquet, who di- rects the radio department of the New York Herald-Tribune, fol- lows: “Although the new allocations opened up distance and better local reception for New York fans, conditions here are not ideal. Poor atmospheric conditions have made it difficult to judge the real dis- tance range. Tuesday night was the best since the reallocations and disclosed the great reception possibilities on cleared channels throughout the country with prae- tically no interefernce, particularly from Canada and the Middle West. “Heterodyning is most notice- pble between 300 and 335 meters, and all below the 250-watt small power locals particularly are sub- ject to this interference. This Frobably is' due to inaccurate requency adjustments on the transmitters. “The general situation, how- ever, is changed but little for the Metropolitan fans, who limit themselves listening to the super- broadcasters and key stations of the networks.” * Baltimore expects considerable improvement, as a result of the commission’s recent -order in changing temporarily the fre- quency of WFBR, according to a message from the radio depart- ment of the Sun, which wired the following: “With the exception of cross talk, interference of WFBR' with WBAL, and the inability to get WRC distinctly at times, condi- tions since the reallocations ap- pear to be the same as formerly. An experimental operation of WFBR on a frequency of 1,270 kilocycles for 10 days beginning last Wednesday is expected to improve the cross talk situation.” * Kk ok % Jack Rogers, who writes radio news for the Cincinnati Enquirer, has this to say about conditions in his section: “Reception has im- {a roved 10 per cent. The service oss, however, is 50 per cent. Con- sistent volume and satisfactory clarity still impossible except from locals. “Heterodyning persists on most of the shared channels and some cleared bands. The loss in local service is in no way compensated by the ability to hear a few more out-of-town stations. The real- location plan is unpopular in this} locality.” oL 0 S ] Down in Atlanta, Ga., the home of WSB, radio listeners think a good deal more of the commis- sion’s new plan than those in Cincinnati. Lambdin Kay, radio director of the Atlanta Journal | and probably the best known an-i nouncer in the South, sent the following wire in reply to Thel Star’s query: “The frequency change at WSB happened to bring a decided in- crease in our mechanical efficiency and otherwise emphatically ap- proved general reception of our transmission through notably re- duced conflict. Our audience re- sponse both nearby and at a dis- tance indicates clearly that the new deal has brought substantial betterment throughout the broad- cast spectrum.” Now for the conditions at home. Letters received this week from local listeners as well as those in the contiguous sections of Mary- jand and Virginia indicate that the heterodyne howl is still preva- lent in WRC’s transmissions, al- though not quite as vociferous as it was before the commission re- ; duced the power of the Kansas City stations using the same wave channel. |a.m. to 12 midnight. 9 1928—PART TI. Microphone DIO EDITOR on the air simultaneously. E. T. Smith of Rosslyn, Va., declared WJSV throws an “absolute blanket” over 10 points on the dial of his set. The chief criticism, however, is |aimed at the operators of the obsolete “blooper” or oscillating receivers who send blood-curdling shrieks all over the broadcast band in their nightly romps over | the dial. These relics of the early broad- hollered, before tuned radiofre- quency stepped in as a cure-all |have been having a merry time |since November 11. The chance of getting distant- stations again and the fact that the dial loca- tion of a station was to be found antew undoubtedly brought them out. In spite of the heterodynes and the “bloopers,” WSB, WBAL and WLW apparently are penetrating the interference successfully, as| this trio are being heard con- sistently in Washington with a fair degree of clarity and volume. * % k¥ Washington fans who have long | |deplored the morning break in WRC's program schedule will wel- come the announcement issued yesterday by Ralph Edmunds, the | program manager, that beginning tomorrow the station would be on the air continuously from 6:45 Heretofore, WRC has had a gap in its pro- | gram continuity between 8:50 and 10 am. The increase in service is coin- cident with a similar extension in the programs of WEAF and WJZ, the National Broadcasting Co.’s key stations in New York, both of which provide the major WRC at- tractions. WEAF under the new schedule will operate in the same perlod as WRC, from 6:45 a.m. to 12 midnight. WJZ will go on the ir at 7:30 a.m. and “sign off” at midnight. ‘The new schedule in- creases WJZ's time on the air about four hours daily, and WEAF’s time an hour and 10 minutes. % %k ok % WOL also announces another | extension of its broadcasting serv- ice—a late dance program to go on the air every night except Sun- day for two hours, beginning at 10 o’clock. Officials of the station accom- panled the announcement with a | | statement that tne Washington ! |and nearby radio audience, par- ticularly the young folks, have appealed for dance music between 10 and 12 o'clock, which could be depended on regularly every night so that radio dances could be ar- ranged in advance. The programs will be made up entirely of the latest popular fox trots and waltzes as recorded by | America’s leading syncopators of modern music. RADIO COMMISSION HAS MANY REQUESTS Applications for Changes Pour In From Broadcasting Stations. Applications from broadcasting sta- tions for changes in wave length, power and time division requirements are pouring into the Federal Radio Com- ! mission in such great numbers that hearings on those already received probably cannot be completed by the end of December. In the meantime éhle’ commission is holding hearings aily. Among the recent decisions of the commission was the granting of KWK, St. Louis, of full time operation on | 1,350 kilocycles. At the same time, WIL, St. Louis, which had been shar- ing time with KWK, was assigned full time on 1,420 kilocycles. The power of WIL was reduced from 250 to 100 watts and a construction permit for a 1,000-watt transmitter revoked. later was authorized to use 200 watts in the daytime and to cease operation for two weeks to adjust its transmitter to the new wave length and power. The commission authorized WFBR, Baltimore, to operate experimentally on 1,270 kilocycles in an effort to eliminate cross talk with WBAL, Baltimore, a source of considerable complaint from listeners. ~ WBAL will" continue to broadcast on 1,060 kilocycles. WFBR has been operating on 1,120 kilocycles. WGDY and WHDI, both in Min. neapolis, have been authorized to broadcast on 1,390 kilocycles. The two stations, operating on 1,410 kilocycles, had been causing cross talk with other stations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, it was reported. RADIO AGRICULTURE BROADCASTS POPULAR Federal Programs Are Put on Air by 149 Stations in Country. Educational programs of the Depart- ment of Agriculture were carried to millions of farm listeners in their homes during the last year by 149 broadcast- ing stations co-operating with the de- partment, The stations devoted in thc aggre- gate more than 1,000 hours each month to the broadcasting of information from the department, a service which at pre- vailing commercial rates would com- mand more than $500,000, says Secre- tary W. M. Jardine in his annual re- port. “The radio service of the department has passed its experimental stage and become an established and valuable part of the facilities for carrying the results of its work to the Nation,” he said. “Forty-six stations co-operated in transmitting a special series of nine weekly releases on corn borer control, thereby affording a good demonstra- tion of the value of radio service in emergency educational campaigns, “Evidence of growth in the number of listeners to the department’s radio releases is given by an increasing de- mand for printed matter supplementing spoken facts. Aunt Sammy’s radio recipes prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics, were sent on request to 185,600 homes in the last year. Forty- five thousand booklets containing the agricultural economic lessons of the radio farm school. “The cordial co-operation of broad- casters played an essential part in the expansion and stabilization of the radio service which took place during the last year. With a continuation of this co- | cperation and with the rapid progress of the radio art generally, growth in the usefulness of radio as a means of placing facts before farmers is certain.” ABC Chain Extended.

The amateur operator first estab- lished connection with the City of New York as it sailed the Pacific 600 miles south of the Samoan Island. The ship’s operator “talked” with him for nearly two hours, transmitting mes- sages to be forwarded to families of the adventurers aboard the flagship. “Yours is the first amateur station we have been ‘able’ to pick up in 10 days,” a message said, "and you have Homemade Sending and Receiving Set Follows Byrd’s Flagship on Polar Voyage 10:00—"Chick" Godfrey, tenor. 10:30—Weather report. 336.9—WJAR Providence—890 3:00—Dr. Wise. 4:00—Dr. Cadma 6:00—Parade; Acousticons. 7:00—Werrenrath concert. 7:30—Theater Family. 9:00—David Lawrence; news. 260.5—WHAM Rochester—1,150 10:30a—Church services, 6:30—Fireside Forum. 7:00—Travelogue. 8:00—Melodies: Collier hour. 9:15—School program; El Tango. 379.5—~WGY Schenectady—790 10:45a—Church services. 4:00—Dr. Cadman. 6:30—Acousticons; concert, 7 ao-Thelter P'amuy 00—D.
