32.D WAVE LENGTH
DECLARED BEST
General Electric Experiments
With Several Low Bands
Establish Queer Facts.

The 32.79 meter wave length pre-
sents the most satisfactory channel
for radio signals that has been found
among six of the low wave lengths
investigated by the General Electric
%. in tests conducted last April, ac-
cording to a report on the tests. The
other wave lengths explored were 10,
26.4, 50.2. 65.5 and 100 meters.
Operating with a power of ten kllo'
watts and employing a vertical an
tenna, signals transmitted on 1913
meters were reported received in all
parts of the world. The limit of the
day range for this transmitter could
not be established definitely, due to
insufficient reports beyond $500 miles.
but reports on the night transmissions
indicated fairly high average strength
for the maximum distance obtainable
half of the earth's circumference.
Is Meters Is Poor.
Approximately half of all of the re-
ports made on the tests by listeners
were for programs received on the
32.79 meter channel. The second best
received programs were those trans
mitted on 5O.2 meters, which drew II
per cent Of the acknowledgements.
Apparently the poorest of the six
channels was that of is meters, with
the 1O9 meter band running it a close
second. The Is meter wave length
displayed the greatest skipping quail
tiles of any of the channels, with the
day skip of signals transmitted being
set at from 600 to 900 miles and the
night skip placed at 1000 miles.
Reception of the signals on 26.4
meters was also marked by long skips,
and signals dispatched on this length
were better received outside the
United States than at distance under
5000 miles.
No Skipping Noted at 50.c.
Commenting on the results of the
tests on 50.2 meters, it was explained
that no skipping was noted by the
signals at this point. The useful day
range was set at 100 miles and the
signal strength at night was found
to be good up to and possibly beyond
1850 miles. Transmissions on 65.5
meters were found to be unreliable
beyond 1900 miles.
The tests were conducted in April
from the General Electric Co.'s ex-
perimental stations at Schenectady.
and in addition to the reports of
amateurs throughout the world on
the reception of the signals on the
several channels, special listeners
were sent throughout the United
States and also out to sea to add their
findings to the mass of data accumu-
lated.
1t is expected that similar tests,
possibly using other channels, will be
conducted later this year.
