For 10 days that part of the United
States east of the Mississippi has
been visited with atmospheric changes
and storms that have caused listen
erS-in to swear at their sets and pro
gram managers to wonder at the
scarcity of applause mail.
And from the Weather Bureau and
the students of static comes word that
there is little possibility that the sit
uatiOn will he appreciably altered
until after the radio season has been
officially ushered in, or, in other
words, until the twentieth or twenty
fifth of the month.
The static of the past week, 1t was
stated, has been especially severe
along the Atlantic Seaboard from New
England to the Gulf of Mexico. and is
believed to be due principally to the
violent and frequent changes in
temperature, together with numerous
electrical storms.
BY the first of October, however,
the atmosphere is expected to clear
and reception conditions greatly i'm
proved. 1t also was suggested that

Relay Idea Evolved
Amateur radio Is as old as radio it
self In the days of the spark trans
mftter there were a host of enthusiasts
striving nightly with comparatively
inferior equipment to converse with
their fellows in nearby towns. There
gra dually grew up camaraderie of
accomplishment. These transmitting
amateurs were able to converse with
each other from town to town by
means of the special telegraphic code
evolved for radio.
AS the discoveries of scientists at
work in laboratories and of amateurs
at work in their radio shacks stretched
out the distance over which it was
possible to converse, there was born
the idea of finding a station between
two others that were unable to COM
municate directly with each other and
make of the halfway station a relay
point.
The development of this idea was
the development of the American Ra-
dio Relay League. Enthusiastic anna
teurs banded together to furnish relay
service to their fellow amateurs and
