plan to log all interference on broad

eral classes of transmitting stations
was outlined at the second Michigan
convention of the American Radio
Relay League here today by F. H.
Schnell. traffic manager of the or
ganization.
The league, Mr.. Schnell announced,
proposes to appoint observing sta
tions, the operators of which will
listen every evening between the
hours of and 1880 o'clock and keep
record Of all interference of any
nature anywhere in the country.
'"The greatest interfering medium
on the part OF the amateur today"
said Mr.. Schnell. 'is the spark trans
mitter, which is fast becoming ex-
tinct. Next in line is the tube trans
mitter employing a frequency of al
ternating current which is unfiltered
The amateur is doing his best to
eliminate this undesirable feature by
recttfying his alternating current
Another form Of interference un-
doubtedly comes from the naval and
stations. which often op-
crate on q wave length supposed to
be 800 or 400 meters, but since the
spark transmitter frequently has a
poor decrement or is incorrectly
tuned, this wave interferes with the
broadcast wave of 400 meters"
Mr.. Schnell explained that the prob
lem of interference must be adjusted
in conformity with the tremendous
growth Of the radio science, and will
be eliminated to a great extent by
in receiving apparatus
and the adoption of continuous wave
in code transmission. THE amateur
has been blamed for trouble for which
he Is in no way responsible" he said.
"and the league, by means of observ-
