Abstract :
The paper gives the results of field intensity measurements at the Bureau of Standards on the transatlantic radio stations at New Brunswick and Tuckerton, New Jersey. The summer measurements are somewhat weaker than those of winter and generally the afternoon signals are slightly weaker than those of the forenoon. The most interesting fact observed was the great increase in signal strength which accompanied the passage of the cold waves of January, 1924. This, if verified, will be of special interest as showing a definite connection between radio transmission and the usual weather phenomena.
