Heinl radio business letter (July-Dec 1930)

T170 APPLICATIONS GIVEN O.K. BY EXAMINERS Granting of the applications of Mosby’s, Inc., of Missoula, Mont. , and Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. , for. modification of V/BAA’s license was recommended October 6th in reports made by Chief Examiner Ellis A. Yost and Examiner Elmer 17. Pratt. Yost pointed out that Missoula is without any broadcasting reception, that Montana is under quota and that no interference is likely to result from the erection of a new station to operate on 1420 kilocycles with 100 watts from 10A.M. to 6 P. II. daily. Pratt recommended that WBAA be permitted to increase its power from 500 to 1,000 watts during the day, with 500 watts at night, on the ground that such an increase is so slight that the "corresponding benefit to the listening public of Indiana will more than offset" the fact that theZone is already over quota. XXXXXXXX TTCSJ INJUNCTION DISMISSED The District Supreme Court on October 4th dismissed the temporary injunction preventing the Radio Commission from permit¬ ting 17ISJ, of Madison, Wis. , to operate experimentally on the 780 kilocycle channel. The action was started by Station '73BM of Chicago, on the grounds that the channel was too close to its own frequency in view of the proximity of transmitters. Justice Oscar H. Lullring held that Station vTBBM should have filed an appeal in the District Court of Appeals instead of proceeding as it did. X X X X X X SOUTHERN ZONE HEARINGS END The Third, or Southern, Zone hearings on 50,000 watt applications concluded on October 2nd following a clash between two Memphis, Term. , broadcasting stations, 17REC and T7MC. Both sought the channel now occupied by WSM, which also applied for the maximum power. Station UMC had been on the air since 1923, it was pointed out, while 17REC began operating in 1926. XXXXXXXX 10
