Static Season Here to Bother
Radio Fans and Professionals
Roar of Sounds From June to October
Greatest Problem Facing Wireless
Eaperts---Bad at Sea as Well.

Static, as free force of nature in
the elements is again the master,
for the time being. of radio as a
man-controlled force in space
We have again engaged what we
call radio in a battle with this in
terloper of the ether. this mysterious
interfering force which We call static or
stmosp herics.
1t is a battle that annually begins
in earnest in June and does not end
until October. and radio has alway 5
been the defeated contestant since
the advent of man controlled ether
waves some twcnty-eight years ago,
and is still the loser today.
Amateur Can Sidestcp.
Static to the radio fan is an exasper-
insurmountable difficulties in his
daily life. Ii he tunes in Il broad
east station during the static season
and there is manifested through his
receiver concert or lecture accom-
panied by continuous roar of other
sounds literally punctuated with
louder crashes and bangs of still
other sounds. he is quite likely .
desert the field OF radio for the time
being at least and have recourse to
dunn of amusement
He will probably conclude that
static is unusually aggressive just
then and as il is not necessary for
him To try to combat il. since he has
other means of amusement, il is like
ly that he will promptly dfsconnect
the antenna from his receiver and
let the forces that are capable of
producing such Conglomeration of
conflicting sounds have free reign i'm
latt
Test themselves through his receiver

home.
Experts Face Issue
However to those men who follow
radio operating as profession. the
radIo-telegraph operators. the issue
cannot be SideStepped so readily. In
TACT, it cannot be Sidestepped at all.
because their job consists of getting
messages through space in the dot
aud dash language of radio at all
times and in all seasons, regardless
ference
Radio service between shore and
ShipS fdr distant at sea and between
ships at sea themselves must be
maintained throughout the day and
night during the static season as
well as at other times. and static
prevails over the sea during the
static season as well as over the
land.
Regardless of the constant roar in
the telephones. punctuated by still
louder crashes and bangs which fire.
quently occur during the static sea
son for intervals of time of possibly
tWentyfOur hours or more. the radio
operator, when on duty. must keep
his headphoneS over his ears and en-
deavor 10 explore the ether through
these interfering sounds for calls from
ships at sea.
Distress Calls Likely.
Aside from the question OF hand
ling ordinary messages through such
Interference, the radio operator knows
that an sos call from a ship is just as
likely to come in at such times as at
any other time.
Obviously. therefore. the radio op-
orator cannot put his station out of
commission. as the radio fan can
during the prevalence of unusually
heavy static.

The radio operator on the steamer

An unknown amateur listening in

the Belgian calling WNAC. He tele-
