The Department of Commerce
has authorized the General Elec-
trio station WGY, at Schenectady
to use so kilowatts power reg
ularly hereafter on Saturday and
Sunday nights. This is the first
time in the history Of broadcast
ing in this country that a sta
ton has been licensed to use a
regular power of more than 5
kilowatts, just one tenth Of what
WGY will use.
The fact that the department
has granted WGY the right to
use that super-power on two
nights a week is not so important
except for the indication it Of
fers Of the future attitude of the
department. Judging from that
action, it will not be long before
the country is well scattered with
super-power stations which will
be providing every listener with
first class entertainment, day and
night, cold and hot, clear and
stormy.
The department has also au-
thorized WGY to conduct third
series of tests of the fifty kilo-
watts of power, and all this week
the Schenectady station will be
hammering away at static with
the greatest power ever used to
broadcast. The. new tests are
being conducted in order to OBJ
tain still further data for the
radio conference to be called here
by Secretary Hoover next month.
The schedule for this weeks
tests are as follows: Tonight,
II midnight to 2 a. m; tomorrow,
6:45 to midnight; Friday, 6:45 to
midnight. and Saturday, $50 to
midnight. All the tests will be
fifty kilowatts alternately. Lis
teners will be asked once more
to make comparisons.
Sidney Seidenman's Shoreham
Hotel Orchestra presented one of
the most delightful dinner music
programs ever broadcast last
night over WRC. The orchestra
isxwithout doubt. capable of rating
with WaShington's very best.
Last night Austin Leroy Lauren
son, the wonder boy soprano,
helped to put the concert over.
He did well.
