RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Instead Of quieting down for the
Summer months, interest In radio
broadcasting IL reported as increasing
by many opponents Of this art. At
least prospective broadcasting sta
ton owners are showing more activ.
tty than ever before, Department of
Commerce records indicate. Although
day, utilizing every available broad.
cast wave length, there are at least
20 applicants for class b broadcast
privileges and about q hundred indi-
viduals or organizations are said to
be seeking Licences for class A opera
ton. Not all these stations have
made formal application to the De.
partment Of Commerce, however. This
Is not q requirement ana is seldom
the usual method OF procedure. Or
dinArily, q prospective broadcaster

equipment and sets Il up before he
asks the department II there IL a

business. neither would an auto-bus
line, but in this new game Of broad.
casting some Of the more practical
essentials and necessary requirements
seem to be neglected to the cost OF
the would.be radio phone station op
orators.
Some citizens now seem to realize
that there Is no more room for class
B. high-power stations, but the con.
gestion among the smaller class a
stations, in consequence OF the few
channels assigned to them, is worse.
There are 468 stations now, 81 OF
them operating on 500 watts, the max.
imum power allotted to. this class, and
there are dozens Of them on the same
wavelength. AS the power increases
and there is rumor that many AS
will be permitted to go up in power
this Summer in an effort to overcome
static, the situation becomes worse
from q reception point Of view. With
Increased power they cover more terri
tory and therefore interfere with more
stations, just as the higher powered B
stations do, even when there are bvt
two or three to q wavelength. In The
low A waveband Of 226 meters, for
example, there are 16 stations now
operating.

Tenants to Get Radio.

Secretary Jose Benitez of the Next

last week, IL planning to install a
radio relay set at his hacienda in
Monterey. Mexico, so that he can fur
nish radio entertainment for his ten
ants.
Senior Benitez is already radio
fan. having a fine set at his home,
but he Is anxious to make radio
farmers and villagers on his estates.
His scheme Is to install a small radio
transmitting station at his hacienda,
SO that he can rebroadcast the radio
programs heard on his receiver for
his tenants to pick up on crystal sets.
Naturally he 10 most interested in

most OF 1t, except perhaps Chinese
music. is ineligible to all listeners.
Ocean Transmissions Differ.
Apparently it is easier to transmit
by radio over the Atlantic Ocean than
it is over the Pacific. Recent field
strength tests made at San Diego by
DR.. L. w. Austin of the Bureau Of
Standards on longwave high-powered
stations across the Pacific indicate
that the received signal strength is
only a fraction OF the average sig.
nails strength after crossing the At.
lantic, but of course the distances
covered by the far eastern. stations
is greater.
The arc station at Cavite, P. T.,
1900 miles from California. came in
with an average field intensity of only
2.04 intensity, while the Malabar arc
at Java, 9,400 miles away, was re-
ceived with 400 average intensity.
On the other hand, transatlantic re-
ception is usually varied between 20
and 100 microvolts per meter. 1t is
pointed out, however. that as Cavite

cation with California, it speaks for

Chimes Broadcast . Feat.

When the radio audience listens to
the chimes of Grace Church broad
cast every Sunday morning by sta.
ton WIZ, they rarely stop to consider
tho great amount of engineering
technique and study that IL necessary
to make such an event possible. Be-
fore considering the work done at the
church itself, bear in mind that 1t is

the lines used in carrying the sounds
from the place OF the broadcasting to
the studio must first be tested and

easily affected, currents used in car
rying the sounds from the church to
the studio.
After the lines have been found to
be In good condition, then comes the
very exacting experiments at the
church itself. In placing the micro
phone great care must be exercised.
In the chimes in the tower of Grace
Church the largest bell weighs over
two tons and has diameter at the
mouth OF about five feet. 1t can be
readily seen that any mechanism made
to ring q bell of such size and weight
must make some noise in operating
and to the sensitive microphone such

like peals Of thunder. Furthermore,
