With the advent of the persistent persis-tent cold spell, following the Christmas snow storm, a good por-t por-t on of the sets started losing their oomph each day, toward evening. They work normally during the daylight hours. It is one of the strangest phenomena ever to spoil TV reception here. After talking to quite a few peo pie about this, I estimate that perhaps per-haps a fourth of the sets quit completely com-pletely each nightfall, maybe half suffer snowy pictures, and possibly possi-bly the top fourth don't show any ill effect. Every TV service man in town is aware of this situation because the first couple of bad nights they got calls by the dozen. After it became apparent that the failure was widespread, not chargeable to any repairable defect in anybody's receiver, the people affected just settled down and resigned themselves them-selves to watching what TV they could in the daytime, and found, I assume, other pastimes with which to while away the evening hours. Now, this has been going on for about ten days, as of Sunday- n'ght, and still nobody knows for sure what causes it. Glen Swalberg first asked me if our set was quitting each evening. even-ing. Fact is, ours seems one of the more flagrant cases. Glen had no sure explanation, but suggested that the extreme cold may have affected the atmosphere in some way as to e'.ther reflect or absorb much of the incoming signal strength. This seems plausible enough, though there is no proof. s SERTA-P0STURE I mattress at last winter's I I low price! I ( $S75 ' AViSC J EACH yp g f'l- t 1 Full ar twin iiia.

Made by a maker of the $79.50 "Perfect Sleeper" Mattress This would cut out sets in poor receptive locations, and those not operating at 100 efficiency, yet could permit others to operate. Strange thing, it seems the sets connected to the highest antennas most often fade out; but these, ordinarily, are the ones in the toughest spots for reception. Bill Bishop thinks a deposit of salt, or something, may have been left on the antennas by the storm, thus causing the signals to be shorted-out when frost or moisture collects. This, too, is a plausible theory, and it could explain the reduction in signal strength very reasonably. It is said that the e-lectric e-lectric power lines show signs Df recent salt coating, the copper turning green and the insulators breaking down. Bill Lisonbee didn't have any sure answer, but he let me borrow his microvolt meter. As of 8:45 a.m. Saturday, it showed the signal strength from my antenna at about 40 microvolts. Bill said 100 micro 'olts would be needed for a weak icture, and 200 or more for a clear me. By 3 p.m., the signal strength md come up to about 400. Then, ust at sunset, it dropped to less ,han 100 again. I assume virtually LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF HEARING ON PETITION FOR ADOPTION IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF MJLLARD, STATE OF UTAH IN THE MATTER OF THE) ADOPTION ) OF ) CLAY L. GRAY, a minor child.) every other antenna would have shown a comparable fluctuation, with some remaining above the 200 level. Something was causing a wide variation in incoming signal strength through each day. But was the blame n my antenna, or the signal reaching it, or both? If the signal was being shorted out at the antenna each evening, it was, somehow, being restored each morning. So, a salt deposit affected by moisture might be the culprit. But and this is a big but I observed Saturday night that the signal faded out as exactly the same time as the sun set. This was between 5:15 and 5:20. And there was no observable frost or moisture forming on the antenna. On the other hand, the signal came back strong Sunday morning, after the sun was high, but while the antenna was still thick with frost. And this under a condition whicn, one might assume, would be most likely to cause shorting out. The frost was just thawing and falling off. Sunday night, the set faded out again exactly as the shadows of the western mountains were mow-ing mow-ing across the valley. Yet no mois ture or frost could be seen on the INVITATION TO BID To JANE GRAY and JOHN DOE Gray, natural parents of said minor ch.ld, and all other persons interested inter-ested in said child; YOU WILL PLEASE TAKE NOTICE NOT-ICE that Cleo L.

ROBINS, Millard County Clerk First Publication: January 10, 1963 antenna. Could it be that some condition in the atmosphere, where in the absence of sunlight would cause some electronic or magnetic change, or a change in ionization, was deflecting the signals? For comparison, we know that AM radio waves, on standard broadcast band, behave differently at night than in the daytime. In the daylight hours, they follow something approximating "line ' f sight", while, after sunset, the upper up-per atmosphere so changes that they are reflected by the "heavy-side "heavy-side layer", and the signals reach out hundreds of miles. So, with the heavy, dense, stratified stra-tified atmosphere which has been almost stagnant here since the snow storm, could some freak ol nature be causing the TV signals from Oak City to be affected by the change from sunlight to dark? I know it would be unheard of. But what IS happening? Again, some receivers from Des-eret Des-eret to Lynndyl still get VHF signals sig-nals direct from the Salt Lake area. These have been fading out at a-bout a-bout the same ratio as the ones getting UHF from Oak City. This would seem to eliminate any factor concerning the UHF translator from the equation, and, because VHF and UHF signals have somewhat different behavior characteristics, almost eliminate the theories per- Millard County Chronicle Thursday, January 10, 1963 taining to electromagnetic disturbances disturb-ances in the atmosphere, and might seem to beef up the salt-coating salt-coating theory. It suggests that the signals coming in from the Oquirrh Mountain tops may be fluctuating but if this were so, the carrier wave from Oak City would, I assume, maintain its strength even though it had abnormally ab-normally low signals to carry. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to learn Ron Jensen's theory. B.ll Mortensen didn't have any sure conclusion to offer. Ted Harris by Saturday night had settled on atmospheric at-mospheric conditions as the trouble, trou-ble, but by Sunday Ted had switched switch-ed to the salt-coating theory, having hav-ing taken down his outdoor antenna anten-na and cleaned it, with encouraging encourag-ing improvements. On the other hand, it is reported that Fay Walker Walk-er cleaned up his outdoor antenna to no avail. Rulon Callister said he's sorry he put up an 85 ft. tower, tow-er, and wishes he had left his antenna an-tenna on the roof. There remains the possibility that changes in temperature, atmospheric at-mospheric conditions, or even e-lectrical e-lectrical voltage in the supply line, are affecting signal output at the translator station, or even the signals sig-nals from the originating stations in the Oquirrh mountains. It would take the kind of guys who just repaired re-paired Telstar while it was orbit-. ing to figure this out, and they, no doubt, are too busy with other matters, it is as if some malignant force were closing down a lot of our TV sets each evening, and we may blame anything from Fidel Castro to the Aurora Borealis. Perhaps, Per-haps, with the dissolution of the stagnant "high" which has dominated domi-nated the weather map of western U. S. since the snow storm, the condition will clear itself up. But until it does, or until someone some-one finds out for sure what the score is, a multitude of TV sets in this vicinity seem destined each evening to. fade into The Twilight Zone, which is neither here nor there.
