I nead an autobiography on a radio
Answers
All who broadcast and all who listen will read with unusual interest this parable. It was written for the Broadcaster's Exchange, a communication sent monthly to our radio evangelists from the General Conference Radio Department.
The lessons of this contribution are obvious. Every broadcaster, and all who have the responsibility of planning for radio evangelism, need to understand the basic factors that underlie a successful program, and conversely, the reason why sometimes our efforts are not well received. Nothing but the best is worthy of the message we are commissioned to give the world. We should work and pray for perfection in our service. The editors are happy to share this with our readers.
R. A. A.The first part of my life is without interest. I was born in a radio factory and eventually found myself in the home of my master and mistress. And fine people they are! My life, as you must realize, is one of continual twists and turns. Probably no one is more rudely treated than I am. Sometimes am turned on and off with complete indifference—people forget what a wonderful invention am. Sometimes my mistress watches the clock and then turns me on with an air of expectancy. Then a few moments later she turns me off with disgust, not thinking of my feelings. Once I heard my master say something about junking the radio. But I hope it won't come to that!Yes, mine is a hard life. But then, there are bright spots in it, too. Once a week my mistress writes a note and fastens it on me so she won't forget to turn me on. Then she turns me very carefully, almost affectionately—always to the same spot. And she sits right up close to me for a whole half-hour. She looks very disappointed if the phone rings or anyone comes to the door. Then when the program is over she turns me off so gently I feel that she almost loves me. I wonder—is that the program you put on? I'd like to know whose it is.
One evening I heard a conversation between my master and mistress that helped me to understand these things a little better. They were talking about how there weren't very many good programs on the air any more, and how they liked religious programs best of all. But they said some of them weren't as good as they used to be.
And I guess that must be true. Because I know there's a religious program that comes on about the time my mistress does her breakfast dishes. And she always used to listen. Then I guess they got a new singer or something.
Maybe singers are naturally loud when they're new—just as new typewriter ribbons are so lack. I've heard my master talk about how it takes a little time to wear them down.
Well, I got off the subject. But anyway, about this program! The speaker would be talking along so nice and smooth, and all of a sudden there would be a dreadful noise. I've heard a lot about atom bombs. But I don't think it was that, because it lasted too long. It must have been the singer. Anyway, my mistress would get a terrible scowl on her face and come running in from the kitchen. She wouldn't take time to dry her hands, and oh, how I hate to get dishwater all over me ! But I guess she couldn't help it. She always said something about her ears. And finally she stopped listening to that program. She said she liked the speaker, but she couldn't run back and forth all the time.
Not long after that I was sent into the shop for repair. Maybe I had ear trouble too. But I was glad I went, because it was there that I met my good friend, the microphone. We got so well acquainted that now I call him Mike.
And Mike has certainly had a lot of experience. Really, he knows a lot. And he explained a lot of things I didn't understand. The first thing I asked him was why new singers were so loud. And he said it is because new singers always think that their listeners are miles away, and they try to make them hear without a radio. So they sound like fire hydrants—if fire hydrants could sing ! He says they don't realize that they are only a foot from the microphone, and the listeners, some of them, are only a foot from the radio. That makes only two feet ; so they are really singing right in people's ears. And Mike says it is very impolite to shout in anyone's ear.
Really, it is just amazing how much Mike has heard. People are always talking to him. And when they aren't talking to him, he still has to stand by in readiness. So he gets a lot of inside information.
Mike said that one day the manager of the radio station came into the studio with a gentleman, and they were talking about religious programs. I guess this gentleman wanted to buy time for one. And the manager gave him quite a "line" about how they had to broadcast the baseball games and all the other, things people wanted, and that there were too many religious programs on the air already. And I guess the gentleman thought the station manager just didn't want religion on the radio, because he looked pretty disappointed.
Radio is a method of transferring information from one location to another by sending electromagnetic signals across a long distance. The term "transmitter" refers to a device that sends radio signals, whereas the term "receiver" or "antenna" refers to a device that "picks up" the signals. A "transceiver" is a device that performs both functions. A broadcast occurs when radio waves are simultaneously transmitted to numerous receivers.
Radio transmissions are also used by television to transmit sound and images.
Things like aero planes and other things can be controlled by radio. The doors of an automobile can be remotely locked and unlocked via radio signals.
Radio can transmit sound using FM (Frequency Modulation) or amplitude modulation (AM).
Radio is the result of many people's efforts. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz in Germany was the first to demonstrate the existence of radio waves after James Clerk Maxwell predicted them. Radio was first utilised as a functional telegraphy instrument by ships at sea in Italy thanks to Guglielmo Marconi. He is sometimes credited with creating radio. Voice transmission was developed later, which allowed for the broadcasting of music, entertainment, and news.
