* SUGGESTS ESTABLISHMENT OF
EXPERIMENTAL RADIO STA
TION IN ALASKA
SHUNGMAK, Alaska, Oct., 9. (/P)
—“The snow, she blow, and the
radio, he go ‘crack, crack' like the
whip on husky’s back.”
Up here on the fringe of the
polar regions where winter comes
early and stays late, static, the cus
tomary summer bane of reception,
continues to harass the few listen
ers who depend upon radio pro
grams to speed the long nights of
s the northland.
Mrs. Inez Moore, school teacher
here and radio enthusiast, says the
static is caused by snow blowing
across snow that has already crust
ed over. That and fading caused
by the Northern Lights are respon
sible for interference which occa
sionally plays havoc with programs
from the homeland. The static
caused by snow, she says, is equal
* to that of any electrical storm in
the states.
Most of the time, however, recep
tion is good and programs are re
ceived from stations in nearly every
part of the world during the fall
and winter. Because of the re
markable reception conditions in
the Arctic she has written to the
federal radio commission suggest
ing the establishment of an experi
mental station in Alaska.
‘‘After stations in the states sign
off at midnight we still have two
hours to go, so we turn to New
Zealand, Hawaii, Japan, China and
Australia,” she stated.
