WHISTLING IN SET FROM WAVEBANDS This I One Cause of Radio Tronbles Chicago, Dec. 3.—UP)—If a strange | whistle Is emitted by the family ra- dio this winter it may be useless to | climb to the roof to Inspect the | aerial or to search for the source in | the hook-up. The new disturber probably is the sound of two or more radiocasting | stations tighting it out for su-| premacy in the same or adjoining | wavelenghts. [ - Reception Is Jumbled It several transmitters are on the | same wavelengths their output | comes from the recelver as a jumble | of unpleasant sounds, or with a | whistling background that virtually | ruins reception. | Since the department of commerce | has relinquished its authority of wavelength assignments, some ‘of new stations and others that have | changed their wavelengths have tak- en channels which overlap thqse of | other transmitters, resulting in in- | ter-station interfercnce. The crowd- | ing of the stations Into the same | waveband makes itself known by a | heterodyn or a whistle with a vary- ing pitch. No More Wavelengths | In its original plan of wave- | length assignments the department attempted to give a band ten kilo- cycles wide to each station. When | statlons became too numerous for that, @ plan of segregating stations | by class was divised. The better grade were given the ten kilocycle channels, while those of lower range were grouped upon various wave- | lengths on the lower side of the | band. Radio men believe that the situa- | tlon will not improve until congress gives authorlty to some agency which ~ would have control over broadcast. The department of com- merce sought relief a year ago by refusing to license additional broad- | casters but later discarded this | COLD SPELL MAKING EASTWARD ADVANCE Thermometers Drop Suddenly As Change in Weather Is Felt in This Area New York, Dec. 3 UP—The tall- enc of the coldest wave 8o far this winter was passing eastward over the North Atlantic states today.
