EXPERIMENTERS FIND RADIO UNAFFECTED BY ECLIPSE

Hopes of radio enthusiasts that the recent total eclipse would shed some scientific light on their hobby have apparently been dissipated. Experiments ponducted on a large scale all along the path of the eclipse have shown that conditions during the phenomenon were neither better nor worse than normal.

Harris Fahnestock Jr. '27, Secretary of the Harvard Wireless Club, reported yesterday that the Stadium station had made intensive tests, but had not discovered any unusual conditions. The General Electric Company, whose experiments were of a more pretentious order, has announced equal disappointment. An Argentinian amateur, however, writes that just after the eclipse he picked up 41 new stations in this country, Canada and England. Most of the experimenters claim that the negative result was what had been expected, there being no known reason why a shadow should affect radio waves.
