RADIO EXPERTS STUDY FADING Bfliovnl Thai Experiment* Will Throw Light on the Subject Hv ROURKT MACK <C*>Tti?lll. IMS. k> Tkt A Washington. Sept. 16. ? In ihe belief that accural* knowledge of the aunaet fading phenomena of broadcast slgnala will throw con-: siderable light on the general cauHOH and nature of radlng. the, bureau of standards has under taken to make a series of graphic; record* of the fading of several of the higher powered station* of the Gaat. Such records, while giving a comparative atudy on the varia tions of the field Intensity hereto fore have not tndlcated real val ues. New methods are being de veloped. however, by which the bureau hopoa to determine not on ly the variations In Intenaltles but the values of the intensities an ' well. In pursuing these experiments.; the bureau today Invited any per- j son interested In such a coopera- . tlve program to communicate with \ Ita engineers. Approximately 40 | laboratories throughout the coun try sre lined up to participate in j the study. The recent teats- of auper-pow- j er. or power of fifty kilowatts, for broadcasting waa found by the , bureau to prove definitely that in creased power will In no way de crease fading. Fof that reason.! the bureau haa renewed Its en- . deavors to learn aomethlng more of the nature and causes of fad Ing and. If poaalble, to devise some method of aucceaafully eliminat ing It aa one of the most object-! lonable features of broadcast re-, ceptlon. A speclsl portable apparatus Is being developed for the radio su pervisors throughout the country, so that they may make further, measurements of the field Inten slties of the stations in their dis tricts to be used In the general study of fading.
