HURTING RADIO
ON NORTH Side
Times Trouble Shooter Is
Busy on PerpIexing
Problems.

Fans of the whole north side,
from Sixteenth street to Sixtieth
street, are having the same radio
grief and for three nights have not
been able to get any radio station
on the wave band but WKBF, due
to the fact that the station is local
and also below the interference
band.
The Indianapolis Times interior
ence man has his hands full max
ing this check because of the many
cases of trouble found in the last
two nights, all on the same wave,
but the outstanding interference
has been traced to street lights.
The Times interference man made
a check of nearly every street light
in the above named section. and
found the same trouble. Mr.. Gro
min of the Indianapolis Power and
Light Company is doing everything
possible to aid The Times to locate
this trouble. If it is found that the
power and light company is caus-
ing this trouble it will be repaired
at once.
Hundreds of fans have written to
The Times about this interference.
Due to the good fortune that the
interference man has had in the
past, they believe that this task Of
locating trouble is easy for him. To
the contrary, some cases need much
time to check over to determine
what is the cause of the trouble.
The next two nights will be spent
in this section. If the radio fans
will make a check for one evening of
the time to the minute that this in
reference comes on, and also check
to see if it goes off, it will be a
great help in clearing this grief
sooner.
The interference came on the air
Monday night at 6:16 p. m. This
was located at Seventeenth and
Central and when the interference
man left the section just before
daylight it still was on the air.
