NEW STATION FOR ROME
Rome is to have a new short-wave transmitter, designed to provide an output power of 100 kilowatts. The station is expected to be ready for service in 1938. A new system of directive aerials will project the Italian programmes to all parts of the globe.
The International Telephone and Telegraph Company of New York announces that its affiliate, the Electrical Apparatus Company of Milan, Italy, has received an order for the equipment from the Italian Broadcasting Company.
A feature of the transmitter \vill comprise a rotating turn-table on which are mounted various parts of the highpower amplifier which must be altered as wave length shifts are made. By rotating the turntable, an operator can rapidly switch the apparatus to change Rome's wavelength as world-wide atmosphere conditions vary from hour to hour. In this way it is believed the highest possible sending efficiency and programme quality will be maintained .over a wide band of waves.
