UTILITIES BOARD DECISION
MAY SHUT DOWN WCAP
Holds Broadcasting Cost Not Prop
er Charge Against Phone
Operation Expense.

Radio broadcasting by public serv-
Ice corporations has been hit blow
by a decision of the District of Co

The commission holds that a broad
casting station must stand on its own
feet and that the cost of it's installa-
tion, equipment and operation is not
g proper allowance In fixing the val
uation of the owning company for
rate-making purposes.
This decision was reached in the
case of Station WCAP, owned and op-
Grated by the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company. one of the
two broadcasters of the Bell teIe-
phone system. In passing upon the
valuation OF the company the COM
mission struck out Sl25,000 claimed
as an allowance for WCAP
Officials OF the telephone company
were silent today when asked if the
decision might result in removal OF
the station to another city. There
is nothing that can be said just
now one official explained. 1.-THE
most we can promise is that WCAP
will be on the air Sunday and Mon-
day"
1t is understood that a study will
be made of the actual cost of the sta
tion during the past year in which it
has operated as a commercial station
to determine whether the sale OF time
on the air can make broadcasting
profitable.

LONDON, April 13.-The rapid

steal profession pretty hard, accord
ing to a number of popular concert
artists managers, but the powers
that be in the musical world seem in
clined to attribute the slump in con-

Sir Landon Ronald, director of the

ment that concerts must be bright
ened If they are again to become a

leading vocal artists have seconded
the suggestion that a majority of the
present-day programs are completely
out of date and that no progress has
been made in the management of con-
certs in a quarter century, while at
the same time the halls available in
London are dingy and fashioned,
with uncomfortable seats.
While the recitals of individuals
have always been more or less unre-
munerative unless the artist had at
tanned front rank in his or her pro-
fession, it is news to the majority
of the British music lovers that or

WAVE LENGTH ROWS
ON IN new ENGLAND
Number of Stations Appeal for
Leave to Change for Bet
ter Locations.

Having effected at least a tempo
rary solution of the New York City
broadcasting problem, the Depart
ment of Commerce is now confronted
with a new outbreak of the wave
lengthitis" epidemic, this time in New
England.
According to it's established method
of treatment in other localities, the
department has suggested that the
stations involved first write their
own prescriptions. If this proves in.
effective, it is possible that another
remedy may be provided by the radio
diagnosticians at the Capital.
About the only New England sta
ton that is fully contented with It's
lot is WBZ, Springfield. WNAC, Bos-
ton, and WAR, Providence, have in
quired as to the possibility of chang
ing their wave-lengths to more de-
sirable locations. and the C. T. Sherel
plant, at Worcester, is particularly
desirous of moving up with the class
broadcasters.
According to the files in which the
radio section of the Department OF
Commerce places it's interference
complaints, the ethereal congestion
in New England is perhaps worse
thdn IN any other section of the
country. AS a further Indication OF
the popularity of radio in the North
eastern State is noted the fact tha,
of the 81 stations which turned in
their licenses during February, none
is in New England.

the air, particularly around Bostor

soned that for most efficient amplifi-
cation at radio frequencies long waves
were required. He also reasoned that
the short waves could be changed
into long ones by the use of the
heterodyne principle. The result of
his reasoning was the circuit to which
the name "superheterodyne" was ap-
piled
The usual procedure is to have a
locally produced oscillation act upon
the received oscillation to produce a
long wave oscillation for much eff
cient amplification.
The usual superb eterodyne circuit
consists of a detector for bringing in
the desired signal; an oscillation for
producing local oscillations to act
upon the received oscillation; three
stages of sharply tuned intermediate
amplif1ers which amplify the result
ant oscillation at predetermined ID
frequency best suited for amplifica-
tion; second detector for reducing
the signal to audio frequency. and
one or two stages of audio frequency
amplification to increase the audibil-
ity of the signal.
Amplifcation Explained.
No matter what the frequency of
the incoming signal, the oscillator
can be adjusted to the required diff
ference to produce an oscillation of
the frequency decided upon as the
best for efficient amplification.
This is the frequency to which the
intermediate amplifying transformers
are tuned. A frequency of 80 kilo-
cycles, or 10000 meters, is acknowl-
edged to be the best for all general
purposes.
The fact that the radio frequency
transformers can be tuned rather
sharply, especially the input air-core
transformer, produces a filter system
that gives the utmost in the way of
selectiVity.
In the matter of selectivity the su-
perheterodyne stands supreme.

Some Facts About Different Tyres of
Superb etc rOdyBe Circuits.


The purpose of this series of articles
is not so much to discuss the now
well known principles of the super
heterodyne and how the principle was
discovered as il is to outline the varl-
Gus ways which have been used to
accomplish the end desired, namely,
of changing the incoming short wave
into one of greater length or lower
frequency for most efficient amplif1-
cation.
very brief description of the prin-
ciple involved, merely to refresh the
memory OF some who have not given
the subject very much thought, VIII
therefore be all that will be taken
up in this article on the fundamental
theory of the circuit.
Frequencfes md Oscillation.
Radio engineers before Armstrong S
time knew that the combination of
waves of two different frequencies
could be used to produce a wave of a
frequency equal to the difference be-
tween the two. Fessenden, it seems,
was the first to introduce this prin-
ciple into practice for the purpose of
receiving continuous waves by pro-
ducing an audible beat note by the
interaction of a received continuous
wave and a continuous wave produced
by local oscillator.
The principle of the heterodyne ac-
ton in connection with radio waves
Is similar to the principle of beat
production in sound waves.
1t was also known that amplifica-
tion at radio frequencies could best
be accomplished by the use of long
waves. Short waves of the type used
in radio broadcasting do not lend
themselves to efficient amplif1ca tion
at radio freQuencies.

PROTEST INCREASES
IN CLASS B STATIONS
Radio Magazines Plan Fight to
Relieve Crowding of
Wave Bands.

Four of the leading radio publica-
tions of the country have made plans
for a Summer campaign to reduce
the number of Glass B broadcasting
stations, 1t was learned today follow
ing an opening broadside against the
air congestion published by one of
the magazines.
Intimations that the drive against
the crowding of the wave bands
would be launched were given to De-
partment of Commerce officials at the
recent conference in New York. at
which the metropolitan situation was
discussed. The magazines, II Is uh-
derstod, will urge a complete revision
of the present ALLEGATION system, the
revocation of licenses from stations
which do not use their time on the air
and the refusal to grant any more
licenses for Glass B plants.
Coincident with the beginning of
the campaign, the radio section OF
the Department of Commerce has
started a survey to determine the
number of it's allotted hours each OF
the broadcasters employs every
week. 1t is believed by officials. how
ever, that only one or two stations
will be found which are not keeping
on the air regularly during all or
most of their available time.
More Conferences Planned.
Additional conferences with owners
of Glass B stations also are planned
by the department, one this week IN
chicago and a second probably next
week in the New England district
A. these meetings it is hoped thar
the station owners themselves can
arrive at plans for elimination OF IN
terference within their districts. APP
nlications for additional licenses also
will be discussed at these regional
conferences.
In the way of discouraging pro-
spective broadca sters from entering
the already overcrowded field, the De-
partment of Commerce has done
everything but order the new
comers to stop construction. In spite
or this. however, there has been no
noticeable decrease in the number OF
petitions.
1t is understood that the magazines
will urge the calling this Summer or
Fall of a fourth radio conference in
Washington to consider a complete
revision of broadcasting bands. The
new uses to which the low-wave
bands have been put and the growing
interest in the higher waves are argu-
ments which will be advanced in sup
port of their plea for another govern
mental parley.
