Through The Static

Despite the presence last night of static galore, stations came through with lots of pep and most of them succeeded in raising themselves above the interference. On many sta tions static did not bother, although on the lower wave lengths more diff ficulty was experienced. Fading was noticeable in practically every local ity and local code cut in to some ex- tent during the evening.
 Before long we're going to run out of compliments for the Aleppo drum corps, which is on the air from Springfed each Monday even ing Each week this band seems to improve. The usual program of martial airs was presented.
 
 We heard the final selection of the concert by Arthur Pryor's band, broadcast by Station WQAM, Miami, Florida. The Star Spangled Banner" was the selection and, in spite of the fact that other stations in the vicin- ity ofiWQAM's wave length crowded into the picture, reception of this station was excellent.
 WNAC. Boston, has taken a big jump evidently. We brought that station in on about 369 meters last night. The program was not un- usual. Stetson Humphrey, baritone soloist, rendered several classical se lections.
 "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" came through the ether from CFCA, Toronto, Canada. Services well known poem has been broadcast many times, but never with as much fire as last evening. To add to the realism, two staccato crashes of static occurred with Two guns blazed out in the dark" We enjoy hearing some of those poems for a change.
 Radio listeners had an excellent chance to get fed up on dance music last evening. Nearly every station on the air put out an orchestra before the close of the program. Some of the bands were good and, in the case of several stations on the tow wave lengths, the bands were not so good.
New Britain herald., 1925-02-17

WEAF put out a snappy program. and we enjoyed 1t, even If the sta- ton faded considerably. The time used by this orchestra In dance numbers Is much slower than that of other New York organizations, which dash through numbers almost Ut one-step speed.
 WTAM presented another "Down In Dixie" program last night, con- tradicting the program announce meDt. The program was presented by Cleveland talent. The lover of "blues" singing should have anchor ed to that station all evening.
 On Thursday night residents in lonely cottages In the Transvaal, South Africa, will listen to the first radio program ever broadcast from the United States especially for them, according to an announce ment by officials at KDKA. Letters were received by the station, saying that KDKA's signals are being picked up nightly in South Africa, Arrangements have been made to | have Station JB, at Johannesburg, South Africa, pick up KDKA's pro- gram and repeat 1t. In this way the entertainment will be carried $500 miles, almost one-third of the dis tance around the world. Broadcast ing will start at ocock. eastern standard time. It will then be mid night in the Transvaal.

 The following communication from a New Britain radio fan has been received:
 Editor Herald:-
 Some one in the neighborhood of Lenox Place has a motor, violet ray,' or other piece of electrical ap- paratus that he runs for hours at a time to the complete exclusion of radio receiving sets in the vicinity. The disturbance is in the air at ir- regular intervals regardless of time; day, evening, night and early morn ing. The noise cannot be caused by the transformers of the lighting com | pany, as 1t bears no relation to the coming or going of the street lights and is sometimes absent for several | days in succession.
 From extended observation l am reasonably (not absolutely certain that 1t is not caused by automatical- ly controlled machinery,such as elec- tric refrigerators ranges, etc., but rather that 1t comes from some manually operated device, probably of an experimental nature. It first made its appearance last June and has been in evidence to greater or | less degree ever since. Today (Sun- day) It was present when l attempt ed to tune in about half-past three, and now, at 8 o'clock, it is still go- ing strong.
 Tt does not seem possible that anyone with the least degree of con- sideration for his fellows would wit tingly sponsor such a nuisance, and I am of the opinion that it is caused | by someone entirely unaware of the far-reaching effects of his experi- ments. I have an investment of sev- eral hundred dollars in radio ap- paratus which for this one reason has ceased to be source of gratiti- cation and has become a cause of exasperation; and I am sure that some of my neighbons are equally concerned. I would be glad to CO., operate with anyone who may share my grievance in an effort to elimi- nate the trouble.
