Broadcasting (Oct 1931-Dec 1932)

FEDERAL RADIO COMMISSION APPROVAL NO. 1452 mance What Price Per fa in a Frequency Monitor? (Si is the price of frequency monitor I 1 performance that has the specific guarantee of the manufacturer and has met the crucial test of actual station service. General Radio frequency monitors have heen delivered to stations in all parts of the country since last December, and already more than 75 of them are installed. Besides, the General Radio monitor has the open, direct-reading scale (shown % size above) that indicates both the direction and the magnitude of a frequency change in the transmitter. It can be read without going near to make adjustments of any kind, an important feature in case trouble occurs when only one operator is on duty. The General Radio frequency monitor can be operated continuously. Numerous Stations Still Off Channels 50-Cycle Deviation Exceeded By Half Checked in March ALTHOUGH the 50-cycle deviation order became effective June 22, almost half of the stations checked by the Radio Division of the Department of Commerce in March deviated more than 50 cycles from their assigned frequencies. While the number that came within the order was greater than for the previous month, the percentage in proportion to the total measured was less. Out of 519 stations checked, 274 deviated less than 50 cycles, 80 less than 100 cycles, 79 under 200 cycles, whereas 86 went beyond the 200cycle mark. Those which deviated less than 50 cycles follow: KCRC, KDB, KDKA, KELW, KFAB, KGO, KGW, KHJ, KHQ, KICK, KFAC, KFBI, KFBK, KFDM, KFDY, KFEQ, KFI, KFJB, KFJI, KFJR, KFKU, KFKX-KYW, KFOR, KFPM, KFPY, KFRC, KFSD, KFUO, KFVD, KFWB, KFWI, KFXF, KFXJ, KFYR, KGBX, KGCR, KGDM, KGDY, KGER, KGEW, KGFF, KGHL, KGIW, KGIZ, KGKO, KGKX, KGKY, KTM, KTRH, KTSA, KUOA, KVI, KVOO, KVOR, KWCR, KWG, KIT, KJBS, KJR, KLPM, KLRA, KLX, KLZ, KMA, KMJ, KMO, KMOX, KMTR, KNX, KOA, KOAC, KOIL, KOIN, KOL, KOMO, KPO, KPOF, KFPC, KQW, KRE, KRKD, KRLD, KROW, KRSC, KSAC, KSD, KSL, KSO, KSOO, KSTP, KTAB, KTAR, KTAT, KTBR, KTHS, WCKY, WCLO, WCRW, WCSH, WDAE, WDAF, WDAY, WDBJ, WDGY, KWJJ, KWK, KWLC, KXL, KXRO, KYA, WAAF, WAAT, WAAW, WABC-WBOQ, WALR, WAWZ, WBAA, WBAL, WBAP, WBBC, WBBL, WBBM-WJBT, WBBR, WBEN, WBEO, WBIG, WBMS, WBRE, WBSO, WBT, WBZ WBZA, WCAC, WCAH, WCAO, WCAX, WCAZ, WCBA, WCBD, WCBS, WCCO, WCFL, WCHI, WIP-WFAN, WISN, WJAC, WJAK, WJAR, WJAX, WJBC, WEAF, WEAI, WEAN, WEBQ, WEBR, WEDC, WEEI, WENR, WEVD, WEW, WFAA, WFBL, WFDF, WFEA, WFI, WGAL, WGBI, WGCM, WGES, WGH, WGN-WLIB, ' WGR, WGY, WHAM, WHAS, WHAZ, WHB, WHBQ, WHDH.

FULL TIME operation on 1320 kc. was granted to KID, Idaho Falls, Idaho, by the Radio Commission on April 19, filling the vacancy created on that frequency by the assignment of KTFI, Twin Falls, Idaho, to full time on 1240 kc. several weeks ago. Heretofore the stations operated simultaneously during the day, but shared time at night. The new grants increase the quota of the state from .09 under quota to .11 over quota. At the same time the Commission authorized KGKX, Sandpoint, Idaho, to discontinue operation until July 1 pending action on its application to install new equipment and to move to Lewiston, Idaho.
