Of Daventry
DURING recent months, the causes of certain types of interference on frequencies used by Daventry, have aroused some speculation among latenera and in the Press. This article, specially prepared for the use of the Oversca Press by the Engineering Division of the BBC, deals with this subject, and describes some of the many types of interference that may affect short-wave servicés,
THE BOC IN VITALLY INTERESTED in the question of securing clear channels for the Empire Service, and maintains, a constant watch at its receiving station at Tatsfeld, Kent, on all the Daventry frequencies. As a result of this work, it can be said that no cases of deliberate interference to Daventry have been observed. .....
That interference to ono or other of the frequencies used by Daventry Uces occur from time to time is admited, but, In view of the vast number of stations, both broadcasting and commercial, operating on wavelengths below 50 metres, a certain amount of trouble is almost inevitable,"
Interference occurs, for example, when adjacent stations attempt to work too close together-e, with less than a ten kilocycles per second separation between their respective frequencles. This point, however, is appreciated by. most broadcasting nuthorities, and it is hoped that this essential 10 ke/s separation between adjacent channels can be maintained In the future..

It is rather diffeült to deal with interference of this type, but, fortunately, as far as the Empire Service is concerned, serious exam- ples are very few.
It must be remembered, however, that it is possible for the receiving set used to be the cause of what ap- pears to be interference. A receiver in which the image signal rejection is insuffetent will allow a commercial station, working on its correct fre- quency-often widely different from the broadcasting stallon frequency-- to cause severe interference to the broadcasting station.
