How FM Differs From AM
( "Zenith Radiorgan-"!"
Question. What is the difference in range of FM and AM
signals?
Answer, For practical purposes, under actual conditions FM stations have considerably greater solid signal range than AM stations of the same power, particularly at night. The greater range commonly attributed to AM stations is a theoretical range only. If an AM station were the only one operating at or near its wavelength in the entire country, the secondary coverage might ex¬ tend it to a considerable distance. In practice, however, many AH'! stations operate within the country on the same or neighboring wave lengths, and this broad secondary coverage tends to cause interfer¬ ence, and actually limits usefulness of the AM signal to a small area. FM stations, on the other hand, put out steady, unvarying signals to the limit of their primary service area, and then stop. They are not interfered with by other distant stations, and they do not fade in and out as do "secondary" signals of AM stations on the wave lengths now in use.

In 1936 radio listeners heard an English king, head of the greatest empire in history, abdicate for the sake of "the woman I love". The abdication of Edward VIII, by the scope of the empire involved, exceeded in drama the affair of .Antony and Cleopatra or any classic story of royalty and commoner involved in love.
In 1941 Americans eating midday dinner at home and listen¬ ing to Sunday radio programs were startled by a sudden interruption and a dazed tenseness in the voices of radio announcers. Their country had been attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor. So viwid was the impact of this news that to the end of their days they will rem¬ ember its a.ssocia tions, where they were, what they were doing, who was with them.
In 1945 occurred the first death of a President in office since the radio had become a nationwide institution. Late in the afternoon of April 12 came the news that president Roosevelt had died suddenly at Warm Springs, G-a. Following that stunning announce¬ ment, during three days until his burial, America had an experience probably never equaled in history on a nationwide scale: an outflow of tribute and an outpouring of elegiac music over the massed radio stations of all networks in the country, amounting to three days of continuous dirge.
