given the same place on the dial! The escape from the mounting congestion was
just as bizarre. Because 485 meters (6] 9 kHz) had been specified for weather,
crop, and similar governmental reports, stations frequently moved to that
frequency to broadcast that type of content and then moved back to 833 to transmit
all other programming. Listeners were expected to follow
along and somehow continue to locate their favorite station despite the increasing
interference of other outlets now working those same frequencies.
In the true hands-off spirit of the Republican administrations of the 1920s, the
Department of Commerce simply told stations to work out sharing arrangements
among themselves. As a partial solution, a new class of operation, the B stations,
was created and allowed to transmit at 400 meters (750 kHz). Occupants of this
channel had to operate at significantly less power, however, and were not allowed
to broadcast any phonograph records. Finally, as we see in Chapter 6, the airwaves
became such a tangle of interference that responsible broadcasters had to convince
the government to take corrective action.
         By the midtwenties, radio equipment had vastly improved and the number of
home receiving sets mushroomed. Everyone was talking about radio, and the much
