FL Centre. radio fans should be
very pleased at the announcement
in recent issue of the Press that
Radio column will be started.
This is surely step forward and
10 many of us, the Imperial Valley
Press will be even more valuable
than it has been in the past with
this added attraction. I, for one,
will look forward with oagerness
to this department of the paper.
1t will give the fans medium
for presenting their difficulties, ex-
changing ideas and passing on to
others, results of experiments that
have benefited them.
believe the greatest problem we
fans have to contend with is inter
ference. of which there are three
main kinds, namely, radio telegraph
stations, power induction and re-
generative receivers.
Many listeners-in, when they hear
the dots and dashes of a radio sta
ton, think it is the Mexican gov
ernment station at Mexicali. This
is a false impression as that sta
tion very rarely Nansmits except
during the day and very early in the
evening. During the evening, tele-
graph stations interfere quite fre-
qucntly, especially On the higher
wave lengths. such as KSD, J46
meters, KYW $50, WOAW 52G, etc.
This interference is from ships
at sea and should be borne with as
much good will as possible on our
part, as this phase of radio is really
the most important part of all as
it means the salvation of many
lives and millions in property each
year on the high seas.
Occasionally, YOU will hear n loud
shrill signal interfering with broad
casting programs. Many times if
you can read these signals you find
they are japanese ships at sea
whose transmitters are temporarily
tuned low TO avoid the jam on the
higher waves where they belong.
But power interference is many
times worse here in Fl Centre than
the above mentioned interference. II
is present night and day, sometimes
much worse than at others. The
only time it is completely eliminat
ed is when the power is off, which
is seldom these days.
The main trouble seems to be al
the power plant, demonstrated by
the fact that the closer a receiver
is to the plant, the worse this in
terference is. A receiver taken a
few miles into the country viii
hardly pick up this noise. AS long
as this interference continues, FL
CeIltro fans cannot have satisfac-
tory reception.
The third form of interference is
due to a receiver which, when i'm
