A GIANT STATION

ONE HUNDRED TILOUSAND WATTS Comparative nightly radio tests on the thirty and 100 kilowatt transmitters of WGY, at Schenectady, which are being conducted by the engineers of the General Electric Company, have brought letters from all over the coun: try, according to Martin P. Rice, Manager of Broadcasting. ‘No "attempt has yet been made to effect a complete analysis of the reports received," said Mr. Rice recently, ‘but the replies indicate that the 100 kilowatt transmitter delivers a more reliable, clean-cut signal to receivers. The thirty and fifty kilowatt broadcasts from WGY are often considerably marred by static and ground noises, While many listencrs report less fading, approxitnately an equal number report that no change is noticeable in regard to fading. | The outstanding comment, however," he said, ‘"‘is that the 100 kilowatt transmitter delivers a programnie very free from static and local electrical interfere1ce." .
