Atmospheries

I suppose all fans have noticed the decider increase in atmos- pherics now that local weather is hotter and the season again chang- ing. The volume of "static," as our American friends name it, is particularly bad from 45 to 60 metres, even when a screened-grid high-frequency stage is used before the detector. Also there is that {curious dampening effect-a direct atmospheric condition, which seems to smother reception so that both music and voice are distorted. It is considerably more pleasurable to listen down below the 20-metre mark, especially as there is more and more good material on the air down lower.

Which brings me to the rather remarkable reception of Huizen on 16.88 metres. PHI was apparent- ly testing with South America, as Spanish music and speech was kept going for more than an hour. I heard one of the Philips announcers inform an inquirer in United States that PHI would continue its tests for several hours daily during March, including a regular three- hour transmission on Mondays,
