Static Disturbances,
known

Atmospheric disturbances. known
as static or strays. are the greatest
obstacles to perfect radio reception.
The most common type produces a
frying or grinding noise in the phones,
and for this reason is called grinder"
static. The second type, caused by
lightning flashes. gives sharp click.
The third type creates a kissing noise
and frequently occurs during heavy
snowstorm. The lightning clicks and
kissing static produce little interfer-
ence with communication because they
are generally local and last only a
few hours. Static Is generally at a
minimum at l 80 a. m. and just after
dawn. Its maximum strength is
reached from 10 p. IN. to midnight
