Radio INTERFERENCE WITH WFBM IS TRACED DOWN Anderson Station Is Found to Be Broadcasting on Same Wave. : The Indianapolis Times radio interference man thus week has been checking another type of interference—not the kind made by bad electrical equipment-, power lines and such, but interference made by one radio station broadcasting on another's wave. For the last three weeks station WHBU of Anderson, broadcasting on 1,210 kilocycles, using 100 power, has been swinging off wave and on several nights giving local fans something to talk about. WHBU was checked by The Times interference man and found to be working on the same wave with WFBM. Indianapolis Power and Light station, which broadcasts on 1,230 kilocycles, using 1.000 watts power. The Times Interference man drove half way to Anderson and byusing a wave meter and the radio car made the check and found the station to be about eighteen kilocycles off wave. WHBU has been notified and local fans probably will not be worried with this type of interference again. WFBM Equipment Explained To local fans not familiar with the equipment of WFBM, the following information will help them to learn just how the choice of correct transmitting apparatus will not only minimize radio interference, but will absolutely eliminate interference in the form of whistles, technically called heterodynes that are so noticeable and aggravating to the listeners as they skim the dials trying to tune out two close stations. WFBM Is assigned to the frequency of 1,230 kilocycles. To follow out the dictates of the federal radio commission, it must stay within one-half of one kilocycle of the frequency of 1,230 kilocycles. There Is only one method that will discharge this duty satisfactorily. It is performed by the use of a specially ground quartz plate, ground to the frequency of the station. It will not function on any other frequency. Only One of Kind in City WFBM is the proud possesser of a new' and specially constructed quartz crystal and its associate amplifier. This amplifier was designed by two prominent Chicago engineers and is the only one of its kind in use today. As previously explained, this amplifier uses the specially ground crystal which makes it electrically impossible for the station to transmit off wave. To insure further accuracy, WFBM has three crystals, using only one at a time. The other two constantly are being checked and rechecked by the bureau of standards at Washington. If radio fans will keep check on the stations they find broadcasting on the local stations wave and send the report to The Times radio interference man, he will watch for the station that is making this trouble and report it.
