Radio Editor:
Some time ago l read with interest
the complaint of Mr. E. B. Lane with
regard to interference from an anna
teur spark station in the vicinity of
Chevy Chase, and in Fridays Star 1
read with interest the article by Mr.
w. NJ Browne, evidently an amateur
operator.
I do not agree with Mr.. Brownies
views entirely, as 1 have met with
the same interference as Mr.. Lane
complains of. This spark station be-
gins 20 operate about 6 o'clock in the
evening and runs almost continu-
ously to midnight. During the last
week or two this spark station has
been almost necessarily on the air
during the evening, and in view of
the fact that it is very noticeable
along the entire wave band from 226
to about 536 meters, it is quite evil
dent that the station is located with
in the vicinity of Chevy Chase, where
1 also reside. Friday night / took
particular pains to check up on this
spark station and found the great
est interference on the following
wave lengths, to wit, 226, 27S, 500,
337, 345, 455, 500, SIT and 536.
1 have a five-tube' neutrodyne set,
which type of receiver is non-oscil-
latible. or is supposed to be, at any
rate While have had difficulty with
this same spark station all during the
Summer, it has been only in the last
few weeks that II has become a regu-
lar pest. My set Is very sensitive, as
Is evident from the fact that when
either WRC or WCAP is on can
tune 1t out for WEAF without much
difficulty, and I can get stations in
the lower wave band five or six me-
ters apart without serious interfer-
ence, except that interference which
is occasioned by this spark station.
The operator of this spark station
has a habit of keeping his spark on
for long intervals between dots and
dashes, apparently with the object
of causing all the interference he
not yet learned to read code. If the
interference continues much longer
shall have profe essional tele-
grapher to listen in" s>me evening
for tho purpose of locauIng this sta
ton, and when I get 1t located shall
send in to the authorities proper
complaint.
A number Of good programs last
week were utterly spoiled by this in
terfering station.
