AMATEURS TEST
TEN METER BAND
Transmitter Centers Interest in
Means of Worldwide Radio
Communication.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, (P.-The 10
meter band as a means of international
radio communication has been
thoroughly investigated by amateurs of
two continents.
Chief interest in the tests promoted
under auspices of the American Radio
Relay League, centered in the trans
mitter erected with the cooperation
and assistance of E. c. CrosSett of
Chicago at his Summer estate at WAN
no. Mass.
1t is a huge beam transmitter, but
instead of the angle of the beam being
varied horizontally it is variable in a
vertical plane. 1t is fixed horizontally,
being placed with its direction on the
great circle to Australia, scene of most
of the listening tests. Vertically it can
be change to shoot the beam off on a
long tangent, practically parallel to the
earth, or to any angle up to the vertical
angle.
Previous tests with 10 meters led
amateurs to believe that the only hope
for success was in finding critical angle
for a given distance at which the beam
in aimed at the heavyside layer, and
which will give the proper reflections
off this layer to land at the destination
Listeners in the United States also
listened in an endeavor to pick up the
signals.

COAST GUARD ALERT
TO DISTRESS CALLS
Admiral Billiard Urges Special At.
tention to 50O-Kilocycle Ere
quency Asking Aid.

In war time, failure to disseminate
radio information properly may near
the difference between victory and de-
feat, but in peace time operations OF
the Coast Guard it may be the differ.
ence between life and death to some
mariner in distress.
An appeal to radio operators of the
Coast Guard to be constantly on thu
alert for calls on the distress frequency
OF 500 kiocycles has been made by Rear
Admiral F. G. Billiard, commandment OF
the guard. Admiral Billiard saws that
owing to the activities of the Coast
Guard In law enforcement work and the
amount Of radio traffic handled in con-
nection with this duty, there may be a
tendency by operators to neglect the 500
Knocycle distress frequency.
Coast Guard operators are required To
guard two calling frequencies. 500 and
2,465 kilocycles. Little traffic is handled
on the former. as S o S calls are
lnIrequent, but there is considerable
traffic on the higher frequencies. Dis
tresS messages often are handled in the
form OF rush messages to owners. navy
or commercial shore stations, or to Other
TeSSe,s.
BY intercepting these messages Coast
Guard operators place the Information
at the disposal of the commanding off,
Ger for his information or action. He is
then given the opportunity of proceed.
ing with his command. thus SAVING
many hours delay in starting assistance

WaShington's four radio stations
along with more than 600 others In the
United States begin operation today
on new wave channels as result of
the latest ALLEGATION plan designed by
the Federal Radio Commission for
bringing order out of chaos in broad
casting conditions.
Two of the stations also make their
debut on the new wave channels with
new call letters. WRHF becomes VOL
and WIFI is to be identified hereafter
by the letters WJSV.
The Washington stations have been
particularly fortunate in view of the
drastic and far-reaching effect the re-
ALLEGATIONS have had in other sections
of the country.
WRC has been assigned frequency
considerably lower on the broadcast
scale than the 4685 meter channel it
had long used, but its new wave length,
1855 meters, is not expected to diminish
its range or decrease its efficiency.
WMAL, on the other hand, is in far
better position on the transmission
band than ever before The 4759 meter
channel to which it has been assigned
is considered a choice one This sta
TONS power, however, ha~ been cut
from 500 to $50 watts, but the reduc-
ton likely will not affect its signal
strength materially in the local area
which 1t is designed to serve.
WRHF, now VOL, probably is more
seriously hurt by the change than any
of the other local stations. It hes been
relegated almost to the very end of the
broadcast channel WRHF had been
using the 1924 meter channel. the most
select, perhaps, of all available fire.
quencies. Now it will transmit on 2289
meters, which is slightly below WNAL's
former channel The only compensa-
ton for this station is that it will be
permitted to broadcast at night, whereas
formerly its activities had been re-
stricted to the daytime.
With its new wave assignment of
205.4 meters, WJSV will be found
slightly lower on the dial than hereto
fore when it used the 202.4 meter chan
