Power Is Reduced.
Station WCWR, Fort Wayne, Ind
was re-licensed. but its power reduced
from $50 to 100 watts.
The consultations we're iii line with
the commissions policy in cases in

the performance of what is really one
continuous service. Among these sta
tions were WQJ and WMAC. WBCN

There is no reason or justification
for maintaining a separate license for

use or operation of the station" the
commission said In dealing with
WQJ which is licensed by the Calumet
Broadcasting Co, but controlled by the
Chicago Daily News. in conjunction
with its own Station WMAQ, to give
a separate license to WQJ means that
the fourth zone. and the State of Illi-
nois within that zone. is being charged
with a station license Under the quotas
of the State and zone permitted under
the Davis amendment, and 1t Is not
equitable that there should be two
licenses when only one service is being
rendered.
Consultations.
Other consultations effected by the
station owners or imposed by the COM
mission arc the following. WJBL and
wBAO. at Decatur. III. WJBL was
reduced from $50 to 100 watts from S

HELENA. Mont. GF).--In the heavily
timbered mountain country of western
Montana and northern Idaho rangers
of the Forest Service have started tests
of radio communication which they
hope to make a powerful alley in their
war on forest fires.
The region is considered particularly
suited for applying the "acid test" TO
radio. Exceedingly rough topography.
dense woods which absorb energy. ana
mountain static which is usually at It's
worst in storm and fire when COM
munication is most needed, are some OF
the obstacles to efficient service.
1t is planned to do the preliminary
experimenting first in areas where
green timber offers the only problem:
Some radio authorities believe It Will
be impossible to transmit signals any
worthwhile distance with the power
available and using an antenna nung
between the green trees in densely TIM
bered areas Experiments next Will De

to determine the effect of dead spots.
The final tests will be made in mineral
zones and under mixed conditions.
Various wave lengths must be tried
in every test as we'll as the amount and
character OF power within feasible Inn
itations." D. L. Beatty, radio man of
the Forest Service. said. THE use oil

With the low power necessary because

STATION TRIES OUT
CRYSTAL CONTROL
Spokane Plant Experiments With
New Method, Claiming Greater
Range for Plan.

SPOKANE (49.--After months Of ex-
Fermentation the first .000-watt broad :.
casting station employing a new method
of crystal control has been placed In
operation here by KHQ.
The system used, for which ratio
OF efficiency Of IS per cent is claimed,
differs from former methods chiefly IN
that both the carrier wave and the
meditation are amplified
Experiments are declared to- have de-
veioped that through use of the new
system greater range and volume can
be attained. Because Of the possibility
of maintaining the station closely on It,
assigned frequency of 8i0 kilocycles
with crystal oscillator 1t also is de-
clared to be much easier for the lis
tener TO tune it in.
So sensitive is the newly developed
equipment, its designers claim that any
frequency within the auditory range
may be picked up besides many fire.

With the installation of the now
equipment Louis Washer, owner Of

It includes three studios. the largest
OF them capable of accommodating 35
persons control room Offices reception
room, and rest rooms with shower baths,
The studios. control room, reception
room and offices are separated by plate

ors to watch the broadcasting In adoi~
ton. a roof garden promenade on two
sides of the station affords performers
and visitors immediate access to the
open air.
One end of the transmitting aerial Is
supported by 60-foot steel tower and
the other by 75-foot tower Of similar
design on the Davenport Hotel. across
the street This tower is topped by
powerful aviation beacon. Total cost
Of the new station is fixed by Mr., Was

The Radio Tone Tester"
The radio industry, still designated by
many as IAN infant industry" has de-
veloped specialists who rival even the
experts of the Older industries for
super development of one or more of
the human faculties. For years the
English tea tasters have held unique
position for the exceptional develop
ment Of their sense Of taste.
Now the radio industry offers in COM
petition the tone tester" rivaling the
tea tester for acute development OF one
Of the human senses, but instead OF a
super sharp sense Of taste the tone
tester has an exceptionally highly train
ed and keen sense of hearing.
Among the veterans in this new and
specialized field Of endeayor and who
demonstrated his ability in a recent
competitive test, is Martin T. Olsen,
chief tester for a radio manufacturing
company in Chicago.
For the past seven and half years
Mr.. Olsen has been testing loud speak
ers. During this time he has personally
tested on the average of $50 speakers a
day or a total Of over half a million.
While the average human ear. according
To scientists, can distinguish the differ
ence in tones or notes up to about five
or six thousand frequencies or cycles
per second, Olsen. IN this competitive
test, was able to distinguish and desig-
nate notes at fre1ucncies of over 10000
cycles per second
