Fishing The Air BY G. SHUBERT FRYE All referencr* are Central Standard Time

THAT clause of the Radio Act of 1927, which instructs the Federal Radio Commission to assign broadcasting licenses, wave lengths and powers "among the different States and communities as to give fair, efficient and equitable radio service to each,” presents a difficult problem to those who have as IJieir duties the administration of radio broadcasting. TJie clause is a most desirable provision for the equalization of radio facilities between States, but has had to be applied to a present situation already filled to overflowing with facilities granted to certain States. The Radio Commission has exhausted every possible technical ingenuity to get the maximum of service out of the eighty-nine wavelengths allotted the United States, and as a result thirty or so clear channels are offered the radio public. But the others are hopelessly overloaded. Their shrieks of protest nightly assail the ears of listeneis. In spite of the fact that the commission has accomplished much toward desirable conditions, fans probably are Justified in their outcries against present radio reception, with many stations operating on the same wave lengths under the present method of allocation, which requires stations on the same frequency to be geographically separated, listeners constantly are troubled by interference, cross-talk and heterodynes. If two stations are operating on exactly the same frequency, (within an error of 20 to 40 cycles) this squeal or heterodyne will disappear. Two stations thus synchronized can be moved closer together and operated without cross-talk, at geographical separations of approximately one-third of that necessary under our present rough methods of approximate frequencies. From East to West, three stations could be put into the interval formerly required by one station. And, since the process can be repeated North and South, it follows that such a plan of synchronizing stations would multiply our radio facilities nine to one. The Federal Radio Commission suggests five methods for multiplying our radio channel carrying capacity several fold, through mprovements over the present crude methods of lettihg stations “run wild” on their own frequencies. What is

your opinion of these plans given below? "Wire Control. The plan of wire control of two or more stations from a common source of radio frequency is being operated with success nightly between Station WBZ, Springfield, and its auxiliary WBZA, in Boston, a distance of 100 miles. These two stations operate on The 900 kilocycle channel at precisely the same frequency, without heterodyning. While they deliver the same program, their successful operation indicates the possibility of synchronizing stations further apart, at ‘non-cross-talk’ distances and transmitting different programs. Similar wire synchronization of stations is now contemplated in several other locations. “Short-Wave Control. An auxiliary short-wave radio system is now being used to control the broadcasting frequenfey of Station KYW, Chicago, from Pittsburgh, 500 miles distant, all without the use of wires. “Standard Ten-Kilocycle Frequency. An extension of.the preceding plan, prospoces the setting up of a central power short-wave transmitter sending out as its modulation, a ten - kilocycle frequency. Every broadcaster in the country could then, by checking against this reference frequency through the multipliers, be assured that he was exactly on his own frequency, and exactly ten kilocycles from all stations alongside, at the same time eliminating heterodynes. “Carrier-Wave Elimination of Heterodyne. On a receiving set some miles away from the station to be synchronized, the incomir.? carrierwave from the distant station on the same channel is picked up and transmitted by telephone to the station control room. By the zero-beat method, the local station is synchronized with the distant station. Operation then continues without heterodyning, and this is accomplished under separations between stations which would produce terrific beats or howls if the ordinary method of approximate frequencies were employed. This plan is successfully employed by a number of stations, including WDRC at New Haven, Conn., which thus avoids a bad heterodyne that would otherwise occur from the 5,000-watt station WAIU on the same channel at Columbus, Ohio, only 500 miles distant. "Identical or Crystals.

-By Williams

, —By Ahem

Matched crystals maintained under standard temperature Conditions at the two or, more stations to be synchronized, possibly offer another means of economizing wave-areas. Manufacturers of crystal control apparatus give assurance that they can now guarantee crystals so accurately watched that no audible heterodyne will result between stations so controlled. No broadcasting stations have so far been equipped in this way, but it is to be hoped that the method will be practically tried out by stations in the near future.” Fishing the Air suggests the following programs as-,the pick of the air tonight: Instrumental trio: WAIU, Columbus, at 7. The Showboat: WLS, Chicago, at 10. Morris Gillumet and and his troubadours: WJR, Detroit, at 10. Savoy-Plaza Concert Orchestra: NBC Blue network, at 6. Whittall Anglo-Persians Orchestra: NBC Red network, at 8; and Slumber hour, NBC Blue network, at 10.
