CLAIM MOUNTAINS
INTERFERE WITH
RADIO MESSAGES

Mountains hinder radio broad
casting.
This fact was established re-
Gently by Lee Roy Potter, whose
station is eight miles east of Lam
caster, Calf, when he tried to re-
ceive messages from comparatively
nearby transmitting stations.
Potter had trouble hearing sta
tions at Riverside, only 30 miles
from Fullerton. These stations at
times got reports from amateurs
as far as 1000 miles north and east
of them.
The cause of poor reception, Pot
ter learned, was the mountain
range intervening between Fuller
ton and Riverside. This also was
the cause of the weak signals Pot
ter got from San Diego, 80 miles
away, although the San Diego
amateurs we're able to reach out to
the north and east with ease.
