The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-08-01
Palladium Government Call is zAE

Amateurs in and around Richmond
have been rather quiet lately due TO II
old man QRM but as soon as fall starts
they will in all probability be on the II
air again with their spark and CIV n
sets.
Maurice Druly CPD is working his
spark set over now and will be testing
in few days preparatory to starting
the fall season.
The only station that has stuck it
out all summer is (9BDB) Gerard Har-
rington who has been doing good work .
with his CIV. CIV is the only thing
for summer as can be proved by look
ing over his messages handled and also
the cards he has received from distant
stations.
The Palladium has installed a com 1
plete receiving and transmitting set !
at Camp KiRo the Y NJ c. A boys /
camp and has been transmitting mes
sages to and from the camp success /
| fully. The transmitting set is CIV
and a radiation of nine-tenths is OBJ |
tanned with two tubes with 400 volts
on the plates.
! The Palladium broadcasting station
WOZ has been heard in Lebanon. H.. /
Laverne, Okla; Pittsburgh, Pa. and
Philadelphia, Pa, in the past few
weeks.
Radio Conference.
| The conference called by Secretary
Hoover to consider the general ques-
tions concerning the regulation of
radio communication with particular
reference to problems involved in the
broadcasting of news and entertain
ment was brought to a satisfactory
conclusion on April 10. All sugges-
lions received were given very careful
consideration, and the great majority
of comments approved the recommen-
dations of the preliminary report
which was issued early in March, and
as result the final report as amend
ed and adopted, was released On April
29
This report makes recommendations
as to the ALLEGATION of waves for par
ticular kinds of radio telephone serv-
ice. 1t is expected that at an early
date bill will be introduced in con
gress which, if passed, will establish
the recommendations of the conference
as the general law to govern the opera
ton of radio.
t Some Recommendations
4 Some of the more important provis-
: ions of the conferences recommends
| lions are as follows:

: assigned in bands, according to the
D class of service; that within these
service bands a particular wave length
= be assigned each broadcasting station;
\ that the amateur band be sub-divided
| into bands according to the method
of transmission. sparks on the lowest
wave lengths, lew and MCW next,
e then phones, then straight CIV tele-
e graphy, with broadcasting permitted
o within the amateur phone band; that
the present regulations respecting ex-
pertinent stations remain in effect;
d that direct advertising by radio be alb
solutely prohibited; that the power of
broadcasting stations be limited and
specified in order that as many serv-
ices as possible may be permitted;
that in order to prevent jamming be-
tween broadcasting tsations the same
wave length not be duplicated within
a radius of approximately three times
/ the normal day range of any such sta
n ton; that where broadcasting conges
J. ton exists, hours of operation be
d specified for the broadcasting stations
that when all available wave fire.
r quencies in any geographical region
, are already assigned, no further broad
casting licenses be granted in that re
