Rroadcasters and Fans Held
! Pleased With Program
: Now in Operation.

The new set-up of wave and power
ALLEGATIONS to the 697 broadcastfng sta
tions in the country is working to the
mutual satisfaction of the radio broad
caster and listener.in.
In a few isolated cases complaints
have been made on the 60-day re-
ALLEGATIONS on SO wave lengths, which
became effective June Is. Reports,
both official and unofficial, coming
into headquarters of the Federal Ra-
do Commission have been optimistic
and in the main, attest to the gen
orally satisfactory broadcaSting ana
reception conditions existing as a re.
suit of the realignment. Members OF
the commission and inspectors IN the
field have reported eminently satlstac-
tory conditions, while many fans par
ticularly the "DX" enthusiasts. nave
paid high tribute to radio reception
under the new Set-up.
In the South reports indicate that
an almost ideal broadcasting arrange
ment exists, and the same sort of COM

cago. where the greatest congestion
has prevailed. interference and hetero-
diving has been cleared up to large
extent. The New England district
still has its complications, but Com
missioner o. II. Caldwell now is max
ing a survey of that section with
view of adjusting difficulties that exist.
In fact, the radio interference Situi
alton has cleared up TO such an extent
as a result of the reallocations that
members of the commission are just
about convinced that it will not be
necessary to make any radical changes
in the set-up on August Is, when the
present temporary licenses expire. AT
that time it is expected that renewals
of licenses will be made on virtually
the same ALLEGATIONS as exist.
Many of the "DX'' fans have for
warded logs to the commission con-
trasting the excellent results received
under the new ALLEGATIONS as against
those prior to June Is. n. 0. Vincent
of Carterville, Mo-, forwarded a log to
the commission on which he listed
some 80 distant stations. In virtually
every instance, he said, reception had
been better.

a medley of noise, created chiefly
by static, accompanied the signals of
the out-of-town stations last night as
they poured out of the loud speakers.
The atmospherics were terrific at
times, completely submerging the
music and other forms of entertain
ment that travelled the ether lanes.
Aside from the disturbance, recep-
ton conditions were fairly good. Sta
lions in various sections responded
easily and with good volume, but when
the static outbreaks came listening
was a severe strain on the ears.
