Radio substation blamed in Crawfordsville interference probe
The Indianapolis Times tested the Crawfordsville Indianapolis line for radio interference. Results show faint hum 200 to 300 yards from the line, increasing as distance decreases, with stronger noise near Crawfordsville. Indications point to a fault on the route possibly at a sub station and a full line survey will proceed this week. A reader from 1708 South Randolph requests the paper investigate street car interference in their area.
