October 15, 1932 OPPOSES WMIL APPLICATION Ellis A. Yost, Chief Examiner handed down his recommendations this week in Re¬ port No. 421 dealing with various applications of Stations W14IL , Brooklyn, N. Y. , and WFAB, New York City, The Chief Examiner recommended that the application of WI.IIL for the operating time of WEAB on 1300 kilocycles he denied and also that the application of the same station to operate on 1300 kilocycles and to increase its power from 100 to 1000 watts be denied. Recommendation was also made that the application of WFAB for license renewal be granted and that the application of the same station for a voluntary assignment of license from the Defenders of Truth Society, Inc. , to the Fifth Avenue Broadcasting Corporation be granted. Mr. Yost states that if WMIL were permitted to operate on a freouency of 1300 kc it would mean the deletion of WFAB and "the record does not warrant a finding that Station WMIL would render a more meritorious service if assigned the operating time of Station WFAB on a frequency of 1300 kilocycles, than is now being rendered by Station WFAB on that freouency. " EECOMIffiNDS MORS POWER FOR WGAR Examiner R. H. Hyde in Report No. 1619 this week recommends that the application of Station WGAR, Cleveland asking for 1000 watts power, daytime be granted. The sta¬ tion now uses 500 watts both night and day. It operates on a frequency of 1450 kilo¬ cycles unlimited time. The Examiner in his report states that "the evidence in this case shows that the applicant is rendering a meritorious broadcast service; that the quality of this service with particular reference to signal strength would be improved by the use of the additional daytime power requested, and further, that no interference or other impairment in any other service would result from the use of the additional power requested. " Attention is called to the fact that the granting of the facilities requested would raise the quota of Ohio ,2 of a unit. The State is due a quota of 19.07 units and is assigned 18,84 units. The Second Zone is due 80 units and is assigned 72.97 units.
