the law says that licenses may be
issued only to applicants who can
show there is need in their community
for such a public service as they pro-
pose; consequently each station must
apply of its own accord and qualify.

Without attempting to predict what

it is obvious that their work will be

to be done, probably by the commits
sioners, after giving the present broad
casters sufficient time to comply.
The effect Of the new radio meas
ure is called startling, because, al
though Congress did not pass either
of the joint resolutions suggesting
that no more broadcasting stations
be licensed, and although it did not
give the commission specific author
fty to eliminate the unnecessary and
undesirable stations, it went farther
eliminating all stations at once. This
is literally the case. Every trans
hitting license is cancelled; such
stations may not operate without
licenses and it Is further provided
that no licenses be issued by the
commission except on applications.
which must show that public interest,
convenience and necessity require
their operation.
No Distinction Made.
All of which means that the exist
ing broadcasters, those which kept
on their channels. those which shifted
and chose wave lengths as they
pleased, the potential broadcasters
and any who wish to enter the field
are placed in the same class. There
is no distinction The slate is
wiped clean; all the old and new
corners must seek licenses, basing
their applications on public service.
Priority, or date of original license,
while not mentioned may have some
weight with the commissioners, but
it depends upon who they are and
how they feel about the many
phases of broadcasting. Sticking to
the ether channels assigned by the
Department of Commerce before
last July may count and may not.
They might decide, for example,
that commercialized broadcasting
was not of public interest, con-
venience or necessity, which would
certainly throw many well known
stations, which sell time on the air,
into confusion, while contracts are
in force, talent on the pay rolls and
programs ready to be broadcast.
Many legal suits would follow such
81 ruling, but it is not expected.
Active brOadcasting stations de-
string to continue operating will do
well to put their stations in order,
to establish proof of public interest,
necessity and convenience and be
ready in every way to show cause
as to why they should be granted
broadcasting license when the time
comes, as it is bound to do with the
passage of the bill and the appoint
ment of the five commissioners.
Problem Is Immense.
One way to assure the continuation
of broadcasting might be for the new
commissioners to Immediately re-

ENGINEERS EXPLAIN.
ODD RADIO SIGNALS.
Signals From Schenectady,
InaudibIe 200 Miles Away,
Heard in Australia.
by the Associated Press.

SCHENECTADY N. Y. February 5.
Radio signals broadcast by the Gen
efal Electric Co. on a wave length of
S2.79 meters We're heard and copied
with 100 per cent accuracy by an
Australian listener, II 400 miles away,
but were inaudible eco miles from this
Fifty, according to a report made public
foday by engineers of the company.
! After a saries of tests on voice and
feleg caph signas Oh wave lengths OF
32.T9. 65.16, 100 and 140 meters, the
engineers in charge have deduced
that:
Channels comprising wave lengths
shorter than those of the 66.3 to rs
meter channel will not give economical
service at points within 100 miles of
the transmitter.
The 66.3 to 10 meter channel, the
S5.7 to 105 meter channel and the 1872
to $50 meter channel are capable of
rendering economical service at points
within 100 miles of the transmitter.
Fo~ daylight communication at dis
tances not greater than 90 miles from
the transmitter the 1876 to $50 meter
channel will give better service than
the S5.7 to 105 meter channel. Similar
~, the S5.7 meter channel will give
better service than that which can
he obtained under the same conditions
using the 66.3 to rs meter channel.
The foregoing conditions are reserv-
ed when distances between 80 and 200
miles are considered. In this case the
E5.3 meter channel will give better
service during daylight than S5.7 to
505 or 1873 to $50 meter channel.

RADIO UNTANGL|NG
TO Be DIFFICULT
Discarding of All Licenses
viii Lead to Complications
in Starting Anew.

What the five unknown Federal
radio commissioners will do with the
700-odd broadcasters now operating
and those yet to apply for licenses is
the question now being asked in the
radio world. 1t appears quite certain
that the composite radio bill will be
enacted into q law within very short
time. Despite possible delays and
hindrances, most of those following
the course of this particular .legisla-
ton through Congress predict its safe
passage this session.
The effect Of this legislation is .ques-
tionable, but probably it will be for
the best. from the broadcast listeners
point of view. However, when the bill
is interpreted literally, legal opponents
say it is startling and likely to result
in many court cases from original law
suits and cases appealed from the
commissions decisions.
Power Rests in Commission.
The future of all radio communica-
ton in this country, particularly
broadca sting, rests in the hands of
these five unknown men. They have
power to license as few broadcasting
stations or as many as they see fit,
refusing licenses to those deemed un-
necessary or undesirable. They may
allocate q channel to one or a dozen
stations and regulate them as they
please, considering always public in
tereSt.
The main point being made is that
just as soon as it is passed and APP
proved every radio transmitting sta
ton in the country is operating with
out a license and under the law is
subject to penalties, which, however,
are not to be enforced during the so
days Immediately following the sign.
ing of the act. Nevertheless, each
station, broadcaster or commercial,
will in effect be breaking the law until
1t files a new application with the Fed
eral commission, which may not be
appointed or confirmed within that
time. 1t is not feared, if this hap
pened to be the case. that either the
President or the Department Of Com
merce would evoke the law to close

retaining the power tube. Heretofore
1t has been necessary to sacrifice the
power tube feature If the last tube
was cut out, because 1t was impossible
TO cut out any tube unless that tube
was the last one. A new arrange
ment of jacks now permits one to cut
down the number of tubes, and the
power consumption as well. at the
same time enjoying all the advantages
of the power tube.
The real test of the size of tube
is i'm the dimensions Of the internal
elements. and not necessarily I'm the
external dimensions of the tube itself.
II largely is matter of the ability OF
the filament to toss off electrons, and
of the plate to hold maximum po-
tential. The relations between these
elements, including the grid, have
much to do with the efficiency Of the
tube.

Another Radio Invention.

Reginald A. Fessenden of Chestnut
Hill, Mass, whose name some radio
fans may recall having heard, has just
been issued a patent which should aid
in solving the question recently raised
by Thomas Edison as to the compare
tive value between radio and phono-
graphic reproduction.
The patent, No. 16f6416. covers the
method and apparatus for co-ordinat-
ing radio and monograph reproduc-
ton. 1t was filed back in 1924. but
has Just been issued. Briefly, it states:

graph, q wireless receiving set and a

OPERATORS IN DANGER.
Old Sets often Improperly Insu-
lated for High Voltage.

Most of the sets employing 1876 volts
or more are pretty well insulated
against shocks, but many of the older
sets have no such provisions for the
safety and convenience of the oper-
ator. When such a set is revamped
to accommodate the higher plate
power, the operator is endangered.

EXCESS VOLTAGES HAS
MERITS AND DRAWBACKS
Attempts for Distance by OBJ Elm
inator Owners Often Brings
Poor Results.

Excess voltage has its drawbacks as
well as its advantages. This is some
thing that owners of horsepower
operated sets should learn.
The first thing the owner OF the
"B" eliminator does is to give the
plates the full voltage and then strike
out for distance. Instead of being con-
tent with full efficiency on nearby
stations, the radioist tries for all the
difficult stations and finds that he is
obtaining very poor performance. The
stations which ne could not pick up at
all with his run down batteries now
come in as form of interference and
prevent him from getting some of the
nearer stations without squealing.
A good rule when power is always
ample and maximum is to strive for
quality on the usual stations and not
seek distance until later in the eve
ming when there are fewer stations
broadcasting and there is less chance
of conflicts. To try for distance In
the early evening when the air is alive
is simply to bring in a lot of waves
that conflict with each other and ruin
any chance of obtaining clear, salts
factory reception.

American broadcasters are tending
to increase their power gradually, it
Ia revealed by recent analysis of the

1t is not alone in this country that

royal in the ether is anticipated, when

conference. They may remain on the

tically all will jump their power, which
might result in multiplying the agree
