Special License and Commercial stations have been requested by the Government Radio Service to keep a record of interference experienced, by the operators in the course of their regular duties. This report is to be forwarded to the Radio Inspectors weekly. This is to contain notes on, interference of the following character: “Amateur broadly tuned,” “Amateur interference on —— meters,” “—— station testing on —— meters.” The reports themselves need not be more formal than a memorandum.

It is not intended to adopt heroic measures nor would it be desirable for an operator to deliberately look for interference; the Department simply wants the actual interference which an operator experiences in his regular work. A great deal of interference is caused needlessly and every operator should use a little care in testing when he might cause interference. If you are going to test, do not send by the hour or even fifteen minutes without listening in for possible interference.
