Heralds World Programs With the introduction of such high power will come international broadâ€" casting on a large scale. It will no longer be necessary for broadcasts across the Atlantic or Pacific to be hooked up by a relay. With such power at 500,000 or a million watts, it will be possible to broadcast a proâ€" gram réaching around the world from a station using it. _ Already there is talk in Washingâ€" ton about censorship of international programs broadcast by powerful forâ€" eign stations. It is possible for them to broadcast propaganda into this country of an undesirable variety and have it delivered directly to the homes of radio users without anyone censorâ€" ing it. A few months ago the General Electric company surprised the Fedâ€" eral Radio commission when it apâ€" plied for permission to use 200,000 watts" expe ‘imentally at Schnectady. Permission was granted and it has been using this power since. And now ~along comes Westingâ€" house, for KDKA at Pittsburgh, seekâ€" ing permission to utilize 400,000 watts experimentally! â€" This would be the largest power output used by any transmitter in the world. The station transmitter to use this power would be located at Saxonburg, Pa., and would be used for the design and operation of antennae to reduce or eliminate bianketing effects in nearby areas; development of high power vacuum tubes in actual servâ€" ice; development of . precision freâ€" quency control apparatus and of 12â€" phase pocl type mercury rectifiers for use in transmitters where high voltâ€" age is necessary. To Study Reception Fading ; A compehensive study of receiving conditions over a wide area is also planzed with a transmitter. employâ€" ing such high power. And it would also take part in the study of fadâ€" ing conditions over the country. where two ‘stations are automatically synâ€" chronized on the same wave. Such synchronization â€" perhaps would be made with KYW at Chicago or WBZ, Springfield. This station would operate in the carly morning hours, and while the average fan will have little opportunâ€" ity to hear it, it can safely be preâ€" dicted that such superâ€"power ‘stations will be operating in the United States before long. Already Italy and perâ€"power stations. casting with 100,000 sia‘s is soon to be stepped up to that number. A few years ago, radio stations emâ€" ploying 1,000 watts were thought of as "superâ€"power" stations. Then along came 5:000 watts, then 50,000. Today 50,000 watts seems to be the maximum . power to be used by any stationâ€"but in the future you can look for stations employing 500,000 to a million watts, and covering the whole world in their range, says an International News dispatch.
