Radio Primer

Spark TranSmisSiOn-A method
of damped wave radio telegraphy.
in which the radio waves are form
ed by the spark action between two
electrodes. This form of radio
transmission is fast being sup
planted by continuous (CW). or I'M
damped, wave transmission by
which radio telephony is made pos
sible.
Watt-The unit of electric power.
equal to the work done by pres
sure of one ampere under a current
of one volt. a horsepower is equal
to TAG watts
Quenched Gap"A spark gap be-
tween electrodes which are kept
cool and are placed close together.
This produces a pure wave, one
that is sharply tuned and has the
advantage of being noiseless in
operation because of the short gaps.
The action is improved if the spark
gap is enclosed in an air-tight
chamber.
AlternatOr-A high frequency al
ternating current generator built
especially for the production of ra-
dio frequency waves. 1t has a
great number c. POLES revolving at
a high speed in order to obtain the
necessary high frequency.
Arc Transmission
of radio frequency waves by means
of an electric arc burning in an
atmosphere of hydrogen and in a
strong magnetic field. This method
produces undamped, or CIV, waves
of rather long length and is oper-
ated on 500 volts direct current.

Argus Rad1oNews Views and Suggestions for Operators
AMATEUR RADIO
SETS WATCHED
BY INSPECTORS
Only Licensed Operators Allowed
to Transmit; Heavy Fine for
Violation of Rales,

When you visit friend who has
a transmitting set, don't start tink-
ering with it.
You may make yourself liable t.
a heavy fine and be the cause of
having the set confiscated. For
none but a licensed operator may
transmit radio messages.
The government regulations are
strict on this score. There is no
charge by the department of com
merce for the license. But a fine
up 10 $500 may be imposed for a
violation.
Three Classes.
The licenses granted are for:
!. General amateur stations, per-
mitted to use power input of one
kilowatt and operate on a wave
length up TO 200 meters.
2. Restricted amateur stations,
located within five miles of a ma
val or military radio station, I'm
tied to a power imput of - kilo-
watt and a wave length of 200 me-
tiers.
8. Special amateur stations. per-
mitted to transmit on wave lengths
up to 375 meters. The applicant
for this license must have had "a
least two years experience and
must prove that his operation will
be of direct benefit to the science
Of RADIO
Besides these general classes,
there are several special licenses
issued TO universities and expert
mental stations.
All stations are required to use
as little power as possible to their
successful communication.
Malicious and wilfuI interference,
or the sending out of false or
fraudulent distress signals are pro-
hibited.
Applications for operators and
station licenses of all classes
should be made to the radio in
spector of the district in which the
station is located. There are nine
of these districts with their head
quarters in the following cities:
First district-Boston.
Second diStrict-New York.
Third Observation-Disclosures
Fourth district-Norfolk, Va.
Fifth district-New Orleans
Sixth district-San Francisco.
Seventh district-Seattle, Wash.
Eighth district-Detroit.
Ninth district-Chicago
Special Permits.
Those amateurs who live in
places too far from the district Of
fee to make personal application
can get temporary permits if they
satisfy the authorities by letter
that they are familiar with all re-
quirements.
Even after an applicant has
passed his examination for an
amateur license, he cannot opeT-
ate his station until he gets a sta
ton license from the inspector
This is obtained by filling out an
official blank with a complete de-
scription of the apparatus. If 1t
conforms TO the government re-
quirements. the license and sta
ton call is issued and the amateur
may start transmitting
But he must remember at all
times that he cannot commercialize
his station.

ship at sea?' 1t is not compli-
Gated process.
The sender files the message for
a vessel at sea at any telegraph of
flee, giving the name of the pas
senger and the ship and marking
the radiogram Via RCA," if he
desires the Radio Corporation of
America to handle his message. The
handling of the message then is as
follows: 1t is teIegra phed by land
line to the nearest coastal radio
station. which in turn calls the ship
through the air, using the call let
tiers which the government assigns
to each vessel as an Identification.
Operators on ships are required to
listen for these messages. They
acknowledge the call for their par
ticular vessel and accept the mes
sage transmitted from the shore.
If an answer is required. the ship
calls by radio the three-letter des-
ignatiOn of the coastal station
wanted. transmits the reply which
in turn is put on the telegraph
wires directed to the person adj
dressed. anywhere in the United
part of the world
Waveleng!hs.
There are two main points in
this process which appear confus-
ing to the lay mind. The first is,
how does the ship operator know
when he is to be called? The
answer is that he does not: he
listens: maintains a watch" dur
ing which time it is his duty to be
on the alert for signals intended for
his ship: hearing his call. he an
swers. and the message IS then for
waTded. The second question is:
How is interference, confusion OF
MESA ges, avoided when several
stations are working at the same
time? This is a matter OF tuning
and wavelength: that is, the radio
waves are of definite length just
as the ripples from a stone made
on water are of different length
measured from peak to peak.
Transmitters are adjusted to radiate
a specified length OF electro-mag-
netic wave, and the receiving in
struments are also made selective,
so as to receive as nearly as pos
sible only the desired wavelength.
International regulations govern
the length of wave on which the
various classes of messages are
sent. For example. ship to shore
traffic is generally conducted on
500 meters; the call for ship or
coastal station is made on that
wavelength. If the air is not con-
gested at that moment the mes
sage is then transmitted on that
wavelength; but if it happens that
several ships are working in the
vicinity. to avoid interference the
operators, by agreement, shift to a
band between 500 meters and $50
meters or a band of wavelengths
above 1900 meters, also designated
for this class of message traffic.
A great number of messages thus
can be transmitted through the
air at one time without causing in
reference or confusion. The gen.
orally used wavelength bands run
from 200 meters. used by the
amateurs, up to 10000 meters. en-
ployed by commercial trans-oceanic
stations. Control of the length of
the radiated wave came in the
early stages of the development of
radio communication and this fea-
ture obviously has contributed
largely to the rapid expansion of
the present day system.
