where this station Is located you viii
no doubt find he is located somewhere
near vou and is not a high powered
station rs you suggested. The near
ness of your receiving station to his
transmitting station would cause In
terference in your set by impact eN-
citation and not his being on the
broadcast waves.
No doubt you have not been in the
radio game very long and do not
know Of the good work done by the
amateur and the Government exami-
nations he must pass before he can
operate a station. Permit me to
state a few facts.
In the first place, if it were not for
the amateur radio broa adcasting would
not occupy the place in public life
that IT now enjoys. It has been de-
veloped from a plaything to the pres
ent-day sets by amateurs or profess
sionals who got their training as
amateurs or private investigators.
An amateur must pass an examina-
ton given by the Department of
Commerce in the theory of radio, be
able to receive code at a certain
speed, depending on the class of
license desired. and know the radio
laws of 1912. If he passes this oper-
ator's examination he may build a
transmitting set and must take an
other examination in theory, code
and the laws of 1912. If he passes
he is given a station license and a
call letter. His station is examined
Evening star., 1925-01-19

by the Department of Commerce
about every six months. Every two
years his license expires and he mus1
take another examination.
All of the above takes few brains
and many months of study. There
fore. the amateur is entitled to som g
consideration and should not be
classed as a boob or, as you say. "a
nuisance" a very large per cent of
these boys have been in radio since
1910 and range in years up into the
forties About 10000 of us saw serv-
ice as radio men during the late un-
rlcasantness in Europe and were not
classed as a nuisance.
The transmitting amateur is gov
erned by certain laws that he must
obey or his station is closed up and
his license taken from him. broad
caster with a regenerative set causes
more interference than all the anna
teurs in the District of Columbia II
he does not know the theory of radio
he does not know this. His set in
an oscillating or near oscil! ating con-
dition Is as much a tran smitter as
any amateur station, yet he has
passed no examination or. has been
granted no license to operate a trans
hitting set.
do not know the type of set you
are using, but am saying this for all
of the Sqeeladine" experts In the
broadcast ranks. Any one can start
a big argument about this interfer-
snce problem, but first look at home.

A great deal Of the trouble expert

lack of knowledge of the simple
