BY ROBERT MACK. Don't blame your recelving set if those big stations you used to get with good program quality now fade badly and come in all jumbled. The trouble is in the ether itself and is expected to | pass away after a while. From all parts of the country com- plaints have been coming into stations and to the Federal Radio Commission that after hightfdll leading stations lo- cated 50 to miles away from the listénér are Tading and “mushing up.” Suh spot conditions are ascribed as the cause of this poor reception, just as they are held responsible for pro- ducing that extraordinary long-range reception this Winter. Thousands of listeners, it is reported, Mflll ® They've hit it this time have complained that their sets are not performing as they did, but dealers and service men are unable to stop the trouble. Normally, 1 for most sta- tions occurs 100 to 1 transmitter. Engineers belleve the trouble soon will be over, when the sun gathers more , but then the long- distance reception will become poorer. In fading, the station signal dies away for a few seconds or minutes, and then comes back double strength, continuing those loud and soft pulsations alter- nately. Another brand of fading, which the broadcasters call “mushing,” occurs when the voice of the station announcer or speaker suddenly becomes unintelli- gible, but then, a few seconds later, comes back just as clear as ever. O. H. Caldwell, former radio commis- | sioner, and mow editor of leading radio publications, offers the explanation for these peculiar conditions. He points out that during the past few months radlo’s “ceiling.” technically knowns as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer, located about 100 miles above the earth’s sur- face, has been comparatively smooth, due to the absence of magnetic dis- turbances from spots on the sun. This layer reflects back to earth the “sky waves” of broadcasting stations. In the case of stations close to listeners the waves strike the ground with much greater strength during normal times, with the result that they interfere with the “ground waves” from the station, and the interference now occurs at lo- cations much nearer than before. “The radio waves which have made | the longer skyward journey, even though traveling arrive a. few a behind direct,” Mr. Cald- miles from the | in of , 80 that one cancels the other, the station fades away. As the reflect- ing layer of electrons drifts higher or lower the two sets of waves alternately reinforce, then cancel each other, so that the station sounds first loud and then soft. ‘It should be mnoted,” concludes Mr. Caldwell, “that none of these fading effects occurs in daytime when the re- flecting power of the Heaviside layer is broken up by the jonization of the sun’s EPAIRING R Clocks Called For < Delivered - Guarteed Y)u’re hearing it all around you. .You’ve probably Throughout the whole country, people not are smoking Camel cigarettes in the new Hpmidor Pack, they’re saying how good onl they are!
