BYRD EXPEDITION
TO STUDY FADING
|. v. Berkner to Conduct In
veStigation of Phenomenon
Which SpoiIS Reception.

Fading, that malignant ailment of
radio, is one of the many unknown
quantities that will be placed under
closest scrutiny by the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition.
Intensive Investigations of fading
phenomena that have proved futile now
will be carried to the bottom of the
earth with the hope that they will
yield some clue as to the cause and re-
suit in an eventual cure. Fading, like
static, is one of the natural interfer-
ences to radio, the antics of which are
well known to every listener. But the
causes have bafded science from the
start.
L. v. Berkner, assistant radio engi-
neer OF the Bureau of Standards, is on
board the ship City of New York, of
the Byrd expedition, en- route to the
Antarctic. In addition to his duties
as radio officer of the expedition, he

quency transnTfssionS. His equipment
consists of two special high-frequency
receiving sets loaned by the Westing-
house Co., to which fading recorders
have been adapted by the Bureau of
Standards.
The benefits that listeners dill derive
from such Investigations are great. The
objective is to minimize the effects of
fading upon reception so that radio
signals, whether they be audible or in
code, may be transmitted with greater
degree of constancy instead of toning
down so as to become practically naudi-
BILE and then perking up. The hope
is that sufficient information will be
procured through DR.. Berkner's obser-
vations to permit the introduction of
corrective devices and appliances in
both transmitting and receiving equip
ment.
: Much is expected from the Antarc-
tic Investigations. Information on the
effect of the concentration of the earth's |
magnetic field at the South Magnetic |
Pole, of auroras, temperature, height |
of the radio rejecting layer, and many |
other phenomena which affect radio |
