In Radio Editor’s Mail Communications are solicited from Radio Fans in regard to Interference, Programs and Information. J

Times Radio Editor aaa : Can you tell me what was the matter with WTAM Saturday evening? I enjoy the dance programs broadcast by this station on Saturday evenings very much, but failed to find them last Saturday. Were they on the air? A RADIO FAN. WTAM was on the air Saturday evening with their regular dance program, but they are using anew wave length of 361 meters in place of the old wave of 390. They have not as yet officially changed their wave length, but are using this new wave for test purposes. Thank You Times Radio Editor. I have been following the radio programs published in the Indianapolis Times for the past several weeks and have found them to be the best and most accurate of any radio programs published anywhere. E. E. Hendricks 835 N. Garfield Ave. Times Radio Editor. As an enthusiastic radio fan I desire to suggest that some measures be taken to eliminate Interference. I want to say that It’s enough to make a man swear when he is receiving a beautiful, artistic program from some powerful station to have it all cluttered up with a loud buzzing, crackling, crashing noise. Particularly is this the case in the north east and eastern sections of the city. I really believe that the folks who have been creating the objectionable interferences ore quite unaware of the effects. I mean those who have oil furnaces in their homes, battery charging outfits not properly grounded, etc. Os course there are many other things to cause interference with good radio reception as well as those mentioned. To my mind, if there is one thing on earth that hinders the sale of good receiving sets and parts it is the knowledge of the prospective buyer that he cannot get around thse interferences. So in behalf of the radio fans. I suggest that your splendid department inaugurate a special department on interference causes and how to eliminate the same. In doing this you will deserve the gratitude of thousands of Indianapolis radio fans, it's a sure thing if radio is to achieve its proper niche, something must be done. Sincerely yours, ROY L FRAZIER. 1515 N. Olney St. As stated in Mr. Frazier’s letter, Interference is spoiling many excellent radio programs in Indianapolis. A Broadcast Listeners Association is badly needed in Indianapolis to stamp out this'interference. With the proper cooperation of radio listeners a great deal of this interference can be .eliminated. The Radio Editor of The Indianapolis Times would like to hear from radio listeners who are in favor of such an organization. Address your letters to the Radio Editor, Indianapolis Times. KFRU, the new station at Bristow, Okla., which came on the air last week,, has much to commend it to the listener In. Its programs are well directed and the quality ol the transmission is all that could be desired. I listened critically to the piano, to find that Instrument beautifully recorded from deep base tc> high treble, with the tone perfectly preserved. Doctor Donald B. MacMillan, F. R. G. S., the famous Arctic Explorer, Just returned from his eighth expedition Into the frozen north, will talk at midnight Central Standard Time, Saturday, Jan. 24, from Station WEBH, the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, 376.7 meters. Sailors Injured while at sea on Great Lake vessels will be treated by wireless directions from physi dans ot the United States Marino Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.
