MILLION-WATT STATIONS
OVERCOMING ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE ENGINEER’S SUGGESTION Million-watt power broadcasting stations may be developed to overcome man-made and other electrical interference, according to Mr. Edgar H. Felix, radio consultant to the National Electric Manufacturers’ Association, who addressed the national convention of the Institute of Radio Engineers at Washington. “Although there has been a tendency toward increased power in broadcasting, wc have hardly reached the threshold of development in this direction,” said Mr. Felix. “It is quite within the scope of the engineer’s imagination to visualise a broadcasting system ultimately comprising transmitters of a million-watt power. “If transmitters of this order of power were used, the design of radio sets would have to be somewhat altered, employing less sensitive receivers and an adjustable means of pick-up instead of exposed antennas. “These million-watt stations would have a high-grade service range of wave-lengths would therefore be greatly simplified.
