Co TO Central America for Real Static
Radio broadcast reception is popular
IN Central America. but IS the only
stations within or near this region
are those at San Jose and San Saliva
dor, and as reception from the outside
is difficult, proper reception calls for
/ expensive sets, such rs only the most
affluent can afford, according to a
REPORT on Central American markets
for electrical equipment just made
public by the department of COM
sefee Static is heavy and reception
unsatisfactory, except from December
10 May, and it is not good then.
Wireless stations are situated at
several points in Central America.
Most Of them are owned by fruit
companies for communication with
their steamers, the remainder being
government stations. American equip
ment is used in the fruit companies
stations and is usual in the govern
ment stations, although few have
German equipment. In the Panama
canal zone the United States army
and navy operate wireless stations in
connection. with the operation and de-
Tense of the canal.
Much of the summer static that is
heard in these parts is directional and
seems to come from the vicinity of
Central America.
