...connection with these investigations of the sun's surface, we have made arrangements with Station WBBM of Chicago for nightly measurement of the intensity of radio reception with a view to ascertaining just what effect these electrical storms, which might be compared to cyclones or hurricanes on the earth, have on the strength of the radio waves. By comparing the graphs of the sun spots and the radio reception we were gratified to discover that, invariably, as the number and intensity of sunspots increased, radio reception grew worse, until, at the peak of the period of sun spot activity, called...

The broadcasting station, WBBM of Chicago, maintained reliable consistency in power which it transmitted and communicated with the Astronomical Laboratory concerning any departures from normal conditions.

Conceivably, but not yet practicably, Actor Haines might have spoken over long distance to Manhattan...
