May 28, 1932 SYUCHROUIZATIOU TESTS HALTED (Continued) lapping of gronnd waves altho-ugh the areas in which the 4 to 1 ration or of the strength of one signal to the other lias resulted have Loon varied hy oror.yes in WTIC's power. 'Interference arising from the synchronous operation of HI ^ 'ud WJZ has not heen as severe as that caused hy 17TIC-WEAE, due mainly to the g ’oa.ru geographicod separation hetween HEAL and WJZ (approximately 143 miles) and tic lessor poT/cr used'." In sunmarizing its grouad for denial of the continuation, the Commission i that the conduct of these experiments has resulted in the impairment and reduction of a substantial portion of the good "broadcast service otherwise received in several densely populated areas and particularly in the city of Hew Haven and surroimding territory. In answer to the contentions of the applicants that the proposed use of certain new equipment and changes in methods of transmission and reception v/ould result in substantial improvement in reception throughout the areas nov; suffering from interference, the Commission said this statement is not sustain¬ ed by the evidence in the case. The Commission concluded its grounds for this particular decision by saying: "It appears from the record, on the other hand, that serious and objectionable interference will still exist even though the proposed equipment were to function perfectly, since the solution of several of the causes for the interference arising from the sjjmchronous operation of these stations has neither been found nev con¬ templated. " A further conclusion was drav/n by the Commission indicating that in their viev; synchronization is still in the preliminary stages of development. MOHEHCY ADDHESSES Hl.IA Paul W, Morency, vice president of the Hational Association of Broadcasters, was one of the principal speakers at the raeoting of the Hadio Manufacturers Association a.t Chicago this week. Mr, Morency said that manufacturers could cooperate better with broadcasters if they would instruct dealers to point out to prospective set customers the value of program service rather tha.n dwell at length upon technical specifications of receiving sets. Tell the customers of the program service they will receive rather than the type of tubes, etc., that go to make up the sets, he said.
