RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Radio experts of the Navy have
achieved phenominal results with
high-frequency short-wave transmit
ters operating in the neighborhood
of 5000 kilocycles.
Commenting on regular tests, DR..
A H. Taylor, superintendent of radio
at the naval research laboratory at
Bellevue, d. c., said:
THE American Radio Relay League
Is cooperating with US in the tests
we are making, and we are receiving
reports from observers in the follow =
ing states: Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connec-
sylvania- Virginia North Carolina,
South Carolina. Ohio, Kentucky. Ten
nessee, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, Oregon and
California
I'VE are also receiving reports from
Canada regularly and occasionally
from Porto Rico. We have had re-
ports from Brazil, France. Holland
and England, and hope for some from
other countries before long.
what we are attempting to do is
get line on the seasonal variation
of transmission and on the reliable
range which can be obtained with a
given amount of power. 1t will take
consideration time, perhaps another
year, to conclude these experiments,
and we are now in no position to
make final statements as to what
can or cannot be done. We are
simply collecting q large amount of
data, increasing the number of OBJ
servers from day to day and relying
very largely on the cooperation of
American amateurs.
about this work is that it does not
in any way interfere with broadcast
listeners. as it would be impossible for
any of them to be aware of it when
we are transmitting on our highest
powered set. That is because our sets
all operate on pune CIV with a very
steady pure wave, free Of those ir-
regularities which are so prone to
cause interference in broadcast re-
ceivers. The wave length is SO far re-
moved from the broadcast listening
band that it is not possible for such
receivers to pick up our signals even
IL they desired to do so.'
Further observations indicate that
high frequency transmission Is fire.
quently better in darkness than day
light, and that it fades less. In a re-
port to the Navy Department, DR.. Tay-
lor writes as follows:
This laboratory has recently been
carrying on extensive tests, both day.

| between 1.500 and 5000 kilocycles
Long so-called freak trans
mission after dark on high freQuen-
cies is no new thing, and has hither-
| to been of little interest to the naval
service because of Its utter unre-
| liability, but in recent years, the ad-
vent of tube transmitter for high fire.
Quencies permitting CIV reception
and the enormous improvements that
have been made in receivers for high
freQuencies, puts the matter in q
somewhat different light. Further
more. experimental work done>by the
Westinghouse company, by the Bureau
of Standards and by numerous amateur
experimenters, has shown that II the
frequency is high enough, some ap-
parently new phenomena Of transmits
sions take place and the intensity OF
signals apparently does not in any
way follow the well known Austin
