SEEK ELIMINATION
OF SIGNAL FADING
Bureau of Standards lnves.
tiuates Phenomenon Ruin
ing Reception.

| Signal fading. the radio phenomenon
which often ruins long distance recep-
! ton of broadcast programs, is nelhg
scientifically investigated by engineers
at the Bureau of Standards.
Using several types of antenna sys-
| tens. the experts are cndeavoring TO de-
| termine the factors which contribute
| tn fading by analysis of the manner IN
which the waves transmitted from the
broadcasting antenna arrive at the re-
cniving antenna. BY means OF a spe-
cial apparatus attached to the receivers
records are taken of the increase ana
decrease of signal strength such as
is frequently experienced when listen
ing to long distance stations at nlgnt.
Simultaneous records are made, using
two identical receivers with different
| aerials. DR.. j.. II. Dellinger, chief OF
| the radio division of the bureau, says
that examination of data from sinful
| taneous measurements made WITH Q
coil antenna In maximum position ano
with a vertical antenna Indicated Cnat
for stations 1856 to l 500 kilometers dis
tant the same sort of fading occurred
simultaneously in both antennas, put
that for stations Is to So kilometers dis
tant. similar fading characteristics dio
not occur simultaneously
Records made with coil antenna at
maximum and minimum positions snow
that for station 800 kilometers distant
| there are considerable periods in when
an increase of intensity In one antenna
| is accompanied by a decrease IN the
other. Often a relatively rapid and
periodic f1uctuation of small magnitude
is found superimposed on the longer
period trend OF the records. II was
found in the case of one station that
this rapid fading occurs with consid-
cradle regularity directly after sunset
and lasts for approximately half hour.
"The results may be interpreted to
mean that the waves do not reach the
receiving antenna in the same position
relative to antenna in which they
start-that is. their plane of polarisa-
ton is changed" DR.. Dellinger said.
This change only takes place when the
wave has been reflected. Several re-
| place. resulting in there being at the
receiving station two or more waves
which started at the same time from
| the transmitting station and Travelled
| very different paths"

CAMPAIGN RADIO
COSTSB|G MONEY
Political Speakers viii Pay
Large Sums for Use of
Air This Fall.
BY MARTIN CODELL.

Radio broadcasting campaign speeches.
is going to be an extensive proposition
for the political parties. Their last
yratuities from the great networks will
be the national f1ookups for the notif1ca-
ton ceremonies and acceptance ad-
dresses of Candidates Hoover and
Smith After that the campaign COM
mittee will pay-and pay very substan-
tial amounts-every time the Candidates
or anyone speaking for the candidates
go on the air.
Party managers have practically COM
pleted arrangements with the National
Broadcasting Co. and the Columbia
Broadcasting system for networks tc
carry the opening guns Of the cam.
paigns. The chains, however, have ye'
to arrange with their member stations
to take the notification programs next
month The potential hookups are the
40 stations of the National BroadcaSting
Co. chain and the 10 of the Columbia
and such non-member stations as apply
and are added specially for programs OF
this character.
Smith Matter Cleared Up.
The furry over the hitch in preparing
for broadcasting the Democratic Motif
cation ceremonies was quickly dissipateo
this week when NJ H. Aylesworth, presi-
dent of the National Broadcasting Co.
assured the party managers that Gov
Smith would get exactly the same treat
ment as Secretary Hoover. The trouble
arose over the then indefinite date fol
the Smith notification speech, and thf
fact that commercial time already con-
tracted for would have to be displaced.
Hoover headquarters. more radio
wise" than Smiths, had approached the
chain peope more than month ago fol
a hook-up out Of Palo Alto. Hence the
earlier announcement that the Hoover
ceremonies and speech would &C
on the air August II. AS soon
as the Smith date was set for
August %, arrangements went for
ward for broadcasting that event on the
same scale Mr.. Aylesworth was quick
to announce also that regular politica
broadcasting time schedules we're beins
worked out with the party organizations
and he assured the parties they would
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-07-29

be treated fairly and inpartially.
He declared that the network factli-
ties had been offered gratuitiously TO
Secretary Hoover and Gov. Smith for
their acceptance speeches because OF
the great national public interest" He
made 1t plain, however. that all poltti-
cal speeches thereafter will be on a
regular charge basis and that no party
preference will be shown.
1t will cost each party $11 800 an hour
to utilize all OF the 40 stations OF the
National Broadcasting Co.'S system and
$4,000 an hour to utilize all of the 10
stations of the Columbia BroadcaSting
System. But the speakers bureaus of
the parties are not likely to splurge that
heavily on single radio talks
For one thing. they will get discounts
on large contracts For another, though
the rates are somewhat higher In pro-
portion, they will put their speakers on
for only fractions of hours, and they
will not buy time on full networks be-
because there would be considerable
overlapping Of territory covered by
some stations.
For example the National Broadcast
| ing Co. system, while 1t likes TO be
| known as single unit, in reality divides
! up into special networks fed by studios
| in New York. Chicago and San Fran
| cisco. 1t has a red network of 30 sta.
/ tons blue network Of IL, Pacific
/ Coast network of 5, a Southeastern
| group Of 5. a Southwestern group
| Of 4 and then individual hookups
| for including stations covering Mime
| apolis, st. Paul, Milwaukee and Denver
Each Unit Separate.
/ Each of these groups is a self-suffi-
/ Gent unit and time may be purchased
| on them as such Usually large COM
| mercial broadcaster will buy time on
/ either the red, blue or Pacific networks
! at $4,740, $4,000 and 81 100 an hour re-
/ spectively. And then contract for such
/ supplementary groups of stations or in
/ dividual stations as are desired to cover
other territory.
! The Columbia systems network is a
solid hookup of 10 stations, with Station
| WOR, Newark, as the key" station.
It's coverage is practically the whole
/ United States East of the Mississippi,
/ and 1t claims that its stations cover
a territory embracing IS per cent OF
/ the Nations population,
All of the campaign speeches of the
: candidates themselves will be carried
on the chains according to preliminary
| plans of the speakers bureaus Of both
| parties. The chains, however. will not
derive all the revenue that radio viii
draw from the party Golfers. Many
individual stations will also be utilized
1 particularly when the politicians want
to send out special message to the To-
cal or regional populace
The rate for time on few major sta
tons is below 500 an hour, and it
ranges up to $500 an hour, according to
| the size and Importance of the station
and the audience it reaches.
