Tips TO THE RADlo.sT

The higher the aerial the
stronger the signals An increase
of five 10 ten feet In the height
OF the fiat top aerial will In
crease signals
Addition OF a variable con-
denser TO the secondary or to
the primary OF a loose coupler
often helps TO tune out the
undesired signals.
The sliders ON tuning coils of
ten make poor contacts with
the slide rod. Thus much of the
signal strength Is lost. You can
overcome this by soldering a
flexible wire TO the slider.
Increase length of spreaders
of two. three or four-wire aeriais
from six to ten feet for best
results. Each wire should be
from four to six feet from It's
neighbor. Two wires one or two
feet apart are no better than
one wire. Likewise four wires
on short spreaders are no bet
ter than one wire.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same Ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However. 10
cure them Is not such q difficult task
as might be supposed, especially If
some logical procedure is used
If a receiver Is well put together In
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once In a while.
there is no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
ing Is prone TO err, so that for the
"once In a while" that is liable TO hap
pen, this article will be devoted TO
the explanation of what might happen
TO a simple receiver and the best way
o fix II.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one of the following three
headings
Ian open circuit.
PA short circuit.
Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means of q series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary ITO volt lighting circuit. Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord Is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light the cfrcutr Is closed.
When the tips are held open the cir
cult Is open" and the light win go
out.
Suppose 1t Is desired to test for an
open circuit In a tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end Of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the

AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio inspector Schmidt Urges That
They Learn the Laws and
Regulations.

Nine out OF every ten radio fans are
good sports. but the tenth is either a
fan with poor judgment or a ''rotter."
1t is up TO the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them. by playing fair, says Radio In
spector L. X. Schmidt of the Ninth
district.
This can be done by observing GER
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy of these regulations may be OBJ
tanned from the superintendent OF doc
uments, government printing office,
-WashiHgton-D C., for Is cents~It-is
worth while 10 spend 10 cents in order
to he "a square shooter in the radio
game.
The great trouble with amateurs is
thaE when they want to send a mes
a & around a corner they put ON all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount of power
to get the message to its destination.
"In all circumstances, except IN case
of signals or radiograms relating 10
vessels in distress, all stations shall
use the minimum amount of energy
necessary to carry out any communi-
cation desired"
Amateurs should keep their wave
length to 200 meters.
They should use a pure wave" or.
us the regulations state, IF the send
ing apparatus Is of such a character
that the energy is radiated In W or
more wave lengths. more or less sharp
ly defined, as indicated by a sensitive
wave meter. the energy in no n of
the lesser waves shall exceed 10 per
centum of that in the greater.
The wave must be sharp" As to
this the regulations state: AT all sta
tons the l0garithmic deerement per
complete oscillation In the wave trains
emitted by the transmitter shall not
exceed tw%o-tenths when sending dis
tress signals or signals and messages
relating thereto
Amateurs frequently are at rauit IN
calling stations too often The law
states that they can call three times,
send I'd G" once and sign their station
call three times; but often the anna
tours will send the calls a dozen or
more times.
