Transmitting Without a License

Amateur’s Successful Bluff PfRENCH listeners were very amused recently over a joke-played on them by a young wireless experimenter, eighteen years old, who has been transmitting for a period of a year under the name of "Paris Experimental" without any authority whatsoever. He has also been sending communications to the Press with reference to his programmes, power, wavelength, ete.,. many of which have been printed. Although the communications were not accurate as to the power, and the programmes were not regularly followed, yet transmissions have taken place on 800 metres as well as on the short-wave band, and many conjectures have been made as. to the situation of his "station." Unfortunately, recent activities of the police led to his. discovery and arrest.
