broadcasting stations, to cause II to
send out not only Its own program
but those of several others. This can
avoided only by proper precautions
In choosing the remote control lines
and also by inserting radio-fre-
uuency blocking-circuits into the con-
troll lines to avoid this form of inter-
ference. Another peculiar feature
which broadcast listeners should keep
In mind Is that II Is not fair to judge
the duality Of distant stations by d.
rect comparison with that of nearby
stations. Static or other disturbances
which are frequently present In dis
tant reception greatly detract from
musical quality. Furthermore. the
comparatively faint signals from dis
tant stations are incapable OF pro-
ducing sufficiently strong response
In the receiving set properly TO ac-
tutate the loud speaker so that the
effect II not 80 natural as that from
nearby stations.
1t il also not generally appreciated
that fading of the received signal is
frequently accompanied by marked
distortion of musical quality which
can not be charged either to the
transmitting or receiving station
Listeners should be very suspicious
Of the quality of rapidly fading Sig
halls since rapid fading Il frequently
accompanied by quality distortion.
It is common experience to have a
broadcasting station blamed by dis
tafit listeners. for It's supposedly poor
quality although nearby listeners will
Insist, and entirely properly, that the
quality is excellent. Unless a steady
ind clear signal Is being produced 1t
ID unfair to Judge the quality OF
broadcasting station.
The introduction OF super-power
broadcasting stations having at least
several tens of kilowatts in their an
tennas, will greatly improve service
where fading is not too great, since
the more powerful signals produced
by such a super.power station will
override static or other disturbances
at any reasonable distance most of
the time.
Leaving the transmitting station, in
the next article of this series we shall
consider and explain the various pos
sible faults in receivers which may
prevent acoustic syfiehronizlng and
consequent high quality reproduction.
While the receiver can contribute a
great deal to acoustic synchronizing,
It must also be remembered that the
listeners owe great debt to the high
quality broadcasting transmitting sta
tons where a tremendous amount OF
energy and money has been spent to
produce perfect results.

drapery or special materials around
the walls, ceiling and floor. While
an acoustically correct broadcast stu
dio sounds dead" to the artists per-
forming in 1t, nevertheless in the lis
teners home there Is a sharp defini-
ton to music from such studios
which is missing In the case Of Broad
casting from an ordinary room. The
reverberating effect here mentioned
Is particularly conspicuous in the
case of the broadcasting of sermons
from certain churches where, unfor-
tunately, the confusing effect of the
building echo at times almost de-
stroys the intelligibMty of the SER
mons.
Broadcasting microphones have be-
come familiar article to American
newspaper readers. The broadcasting
microphone has to be a particularly
precise form of telephone transmit
ter. Not only must 1t be omnitonal
and equitonal, which IL in itself a
most difficult requirement. but 1t must
be silent in operation. Some micro
phones produce more or less steady
hiss or back ground noise which de-
tracts appreciably from the quality
of music, particularly in the softer
portions Of q selection when the
music does not stand out above mi
crophone noise. Furthermore, micro
phones must have an unusual re-
serve capacity to avoid blasting" or
rafting when an extremely loud
sound is produced in the studio in
their vicinity. for example, at a must
cal climax or at a particularly en-
phatic portion of a broadcast speech.
1t is also necessary to place the mi
crophone relative to the orchestra,
performer, or speaker, with great
discretion in order that the best and
most natural effect is produced. AS
is here limited. broadcasting is an art
as well as a science.
When we leave the microphone IN
sending out a broadcasting program,
we next encounter vacuum tube am
plif1ers which tremendously increase
the electric output of the microphone.
AS usual. these amplifiers also should
be omnitonal and equitonal and
should be provided with vacuum
tubes having an ample capacity to
carry the largest outputs which may
be drawn from them.
In every broadcasting station there

which can be given a we'll designed
and carefully operated transmitting
station is so considerable that it mer-
its special consideration.
Fortunately for broadcasting, there
are today number Of Transmitting
stations which have apparatus cap
able of sending out a wave which
faithfully carries the program, and
which are operated by skilled engi-
neers and announcers so that the
musical balance of the orchestra and
other features giving finish" to the
program are not neglected.
The ideal transmitting station is
one having sufficient power to give
interference-free signals even at con-
siderable distances and sending out
| radio waves which carry an accurate
| impress of the music or speech cor
responding to the studio performance
| Otherwise stated, the broadcasting
| transmitter must be omnitonal or
capable of controlling or modulating
the broadcast wave at all frequencies
| or pitches of sound from the lowest
to the highest. It must also be equf-
tonal or impartial in it's treatment of
notes of all pitches, exaggerating none
and suppressing none, but giving to
each its proportionate volume; and,
as hlnted above, 1t must radlate Sufh-
cient energy to give a clear signal,
riding above all disturbances in the
| home of the listener and capable Of
being amplified to any reasonable vol
ume in the receiving set without in
PRODUCING disturbing noises or other
interference.
Some of the defects which may re-
suit from defective transmitting
equipment or careless use even of
good equipment are worth consider
| ing, as well as the precautions taken
at high grade broadcasting stations
to avoid imperfect operation.
The broadcasting studio presents a
whole series of problems in itself.
1t would not do to take large echo
ing room and use it as broadcasting
studio. The reverberation which in
evitably occurs in such a room blurs
the sharpness of broadcast speech or
music and produces an Unsatisfactory
effect in the listeners home. In or

nically known within satisfactory
! limits, 1t is necessary to muff1e the
studio acoustically by hanging heavy

are certain tubes which are known
as oscillators. These tubes produce
the extremely high frequency electric
vibrations which pump electricity
into Che antenna or aerial wire sys-
tenn and permit it to flow out of the
system with many alterations during
each second. 1t is these electric vi
brations in the antenna which pro-
duce the "ether oscillations" which
we call radio waves. In other words,
the oscillator tubes produce a steady
flow of wave energy which pours
from the transmitting antenna, flow
ing outward with the speed Of light to
the listeners on distant horizons.
However, somewhere in the trans
mitter there must also be what are
known as incubator tubes. These
tubes mould or control the output of
the oscillator tubes, turning 1t on or
off in accordance with the forms of
the sound waves in the studio. This
results In the radio wave being modu-
lated or shaped so that it carries an
accurate outline Of the sound waves
which fall upon the microphone. OBJ
vicusly this is delicate process and
one which must be carefully con-
trolled. If the meditation is low
(that is, if the outgoing waves are
but slightly controlled by the micro
phone,) speech or music will be faint
lin the receiving station. II on the
other hand, meditation is excessive
Chat is, the control Of the outgoing
wave is too extreme and violently the
quality of the music suffers badly
and various forms of distortion and
rafting appear in the listeners
home. The accurate control OF modu-
lation requires having ample modu-
lator tube control available, a feat
ure which is by no means universal.
And suitable meditation also re-
quires constant vigilance on the part
of the station engineers since the
variations in sound intensity which
must be transmitted by radio are i'm
deed great varying from those cor
