BROADCASTING PROBLEMS.
TOO MANY CONTINENTAL
STATIONS.
An expert writing in a London paper says:-
h
Broadcasting is in a state of fur at the present moment. So much so, ia fact, that many critics are of the opinion that the technical policy of British broadcasting will hard to be radically. altered in the yery near future
These criticisms are more OP less justified, but their justification can in no way reflect on the British Broad- casting Company, which has been res ponsible for the crection and mainten- ance of broadcasting stations in this country. The trouble is primarily due to the fact that the ether is becoming overcrowded. Broadcasting in general is now face to face with what might be called the "ether traffic problem."
As every newspaper reader knows, broadcasting stations in this country are Himited to a certain band of wave-lengths. The wave-length band allotted to British broadcasting stations is from 300 to 300 metres. Below that band British amateurs and other experimenters are nilowed to transmit. Immediately above that band we have the 600-metre wave- longth used for ships at sea, next in'im- portance, the 900-metre ware-length used by the Air Ministry; and then, right up the scale to 20,000 metres and more, the various wavelengths used by the Ad- miralty, Post Office. and other Govern- ment stations, and the wave-lengths used by the great commercial trans-Atlantic and trans-Continental stations,
Now the trouble is that on the Con- tinent broadcasting stations are spring- ing up like mushrooms in the night. The wavelength bands are being over. crowded so that two or three stations sometimes operate on wave-lengths separated from each other by only a few metres, with the direct result that very bad interference between the stations is prevalent.
-Any reader owning a powerful set, who has tried to tune in a Continental broadcasting station with any degree of clarity and freedom from interference, will realise the overcrowded state of the. ether.
CONTINENTAL INTERFERENCES.
To combat this growing evil, the later- national Hadiophone Bureau was started some time ago with beadquarters at Geneva, and only recently an important broadcasting wave-length conference was held in that city, at which the heads of of all the important broadcasting con. cerns were present. Radical alterations were made in the wavelengths of many stations, including British stations, and a praiseworthy attempt was made to shift the wave-lengths of some British and Continental stations, so that inter.. ruption between stations was if not eliminated, at least greatly modified. At first it seemed as though tho work of the International Radiopboce Bureau was going to assist in a solution of the pro- blem, but after some weeks' observation of the work of the bureau, the impartial eritic of broadcasting is forced to the conclusion that nothing but a radical alteration in the whole system of British broadcasting, and, possibly, in Continental broadcasting, will improve "conditions.
