Listeners to Stations WJZ and WJY of the Radio Corporation of America, New York City, have not heard the familiar “AON” announcing—or “AJN,” “ALN,” or "ATN” as the case may be. For the first since WJZ opened as the first broadcasting station east of the Alleghenies in 1922, the announcers are identifying themselves by their own names. The change in policy, w'hich took effect March 1, is the result of the Increased attention to the art of announcing exercised by WJZ and WJY. From now on, a good announcer will win public approval under his own name, and a poor announcer will receive public condemnation as himself rather than as a group of three letters.

The orchestra has appeared widely in concert work during the past year and is under direction of Gladys Gavreau. x Fading Signals Fading of signals is thought to be due in the electrical constitution of the upper atmosphere. It Is a natural phenomena of the ether which cannot be controlled at the receiver or transmitter. Scientists believe a layer of electrified and rarefied, air exists about sixty miles al>ove the earth’s surface and that ti ls layer acts as a reflector of Hertzian waves. Owing to natural causes, the reflecting power of the conducting sheet varies from time to time at one minute and then becomes dim when a person breathes upon it. Watch loor Receivers A loosened joint In the soldered connections of a receiver will cause fluctuating signals, or perhaps be the only e&UBe for no signals being heard.
