RADIO CONFUSION
SOON TO Be ENDED
Commissioner Holds Area
Around New York Is
Being Cleared.

Complaints OF prevailing confusion
among broadcasting stations in New
York. Notwithstanding reallocation Of
station licenses to prevent interfer-
ence, drew an explanation yesterday
from O. II. Caldwell, New York mem
ber of the Federal Radio Commission.
Though all stations throughout the
United States were required by yes
terday to go on wave lengths where
they do not interfere with other
broadcasters, several days may yet
pass. Mr.. Caldwell said, before all
station operators have so adapted
their equipment to their new channels
that the improved conditions will
really be apparent at all points on the
receiving set dial.
stations ordered moved up or down
the DIAL" a. statement said, may re-
quire as hours to make. changes In
equipment and antenna construction,
thus delaying by several days the full
effect of the improvement which Is
now on it's way to radio listeners"
Every station in New York, the
statement said, is now operating with
q separation of at least 20 kilocycles
from it's nearest neighbor, while be-
tween certain stations separations of
80 and 40 kilocycles have been set up
by transferring them to wave lengths
down the line"
This initial measure of relief,
which took effect on the very first day
authorized by the new law, is the first
attack made on the conditions of chaos
which had resulted in New York sta
tions creeping up within 10, 5, 3, and
even 2, kilocycleS of each other. The
result of such encroachment, as every
suffering radio listener knows. has
been to cause the clashing of side
bands. creating terrible howls and
whistles, while programs became
loudly intermingled, like competing
brass bands in two-ring circus"
Mr.. Caldwell saw a radio millennium
approaching under the ultimate So
kilocycle separation plan for local sta
tions in congested areas, declaring that
this ultimate 50-kilocycle separation

MANY SET TROUBLES
LAID TO BROADCASTING
Poor Reception often Caused by
Peculiarities in Sending
of Programs.

There is more actual trouble with
radio broadcasting stations than radio
owners believe. Many OF those odd
things that seem to be the result of
poor operation of the set can be at
tributed to peculiarities in the broad.
caster.
One of the largest broadcasting sta.
tions in the country recently made a
change in its circuit so that the lower
notes did not go out of the ether as
they formerly did. Radio operators
thought that their tubes were going
bad because reception seemed so
tinny.
1t should be remembered by all
who operate sets that nothing is per-
feet and that even the best equipped
broadcasting station is likely to have
its off days, WIN. either through
defective equipment or changes in
circuit, the station is not normally
efficient.
