AMATEUR MUST
LEARN CODE TO
Get IN The AIR
Radio Fan Has Much More to Do
Than be Entertained by
Programs.

Radio fans who want to get more
ant of the air than the broadcast
kilograms must memorize the In
ternational Morse code.
This may. be done by visualize
lion. But it is much easier to learn
will do. The best way, however,
IS to rig up a little buzzer and hear
the real thing.
Get high pitched buzzer, an or
binary telegraph key and common
dry battery. They can be purchased
in any supply store at small cost.
Mount the key on table or desk,
allowing plenty of room for the
forearm. Connect the battery and
buzzer according to the diagram.
When your hand is set have your
wrist clear and your thumb rest
ing lightly against the knob of the
should be on top and the other two
fingers should be curved back into
the hand.
Wrist Does Work.
The wrist should do the sending
the thumb and fingers acting
merely as a guide for the wrist.
The spring in the key should be
screwed down just enough to force
the key up after the wrist action.
Having noted the preIiminaries,
the beginner is ready to start
A dash is held approximately
three times as long as a dot.
A dot is held just long enough to
get short snappy sound from the
buZZer.
Take the first letter-dot, dash
Repeat several times. Listen in
tently Note the difference between
the dot and dash. Watch your po-
sition.
Don't be in a hurry You will
memoriZe the code soon enough.
Make each character consise in it
self Don't leave any space. between
the dot and the dash of the first
letter.
Learn Slowly.
When you learn the "a Of your
wireless ABC, take the next letter.
1t is much harder. Stop after each
effort
Don't take more than four let
tiers day. Be sure you know these
before you go on to the next group.
When you feel that you have
mastered the alphabet, learn the
code for the period, comma, ques-
ton mark and error. No need TO
bother about other characters.
Don't expect to begin plucking
messages out of the air. Immediately.
It will take little time before you
will be sure of yourself. But once
you get started, you will realize
that there is lots more in the air

HEAR ADDRESS OF
DR.. G. p. STEINMETZ
IN SCHENECTADY

Lightning" an address by DR..
Charles P. Steinmetz, electrical wiz
ard and chief consulting engineer
Of the General Electric Co., Schen-
ectady, n Y, was easily heard at
the karlowa station Thursday
night. This is the first radio talk
given by DR.. Steinmetz from that
city and was broadcasted from the
new high-powered broadcasting sta
ton of the company at $50 o'clock
eastern time. The station call is
WGY.
Last night the musical concert of
this same station was heard at the
local office. The program consist
ed of vocal numbers and orchestral
music Music from the eastern sta
ton is heard until IL o'clock mid

less. If one or the other of the
players should happen to make an
unconventional expression about
the way the luck is running it
would be heard as plainly as if they
were seated across the board from
each other. The only thing that
would be difficult in a game of this
sort would be to study the Uppon-

What is needed, next to sos, is
an international sick call, especially
for ships carrying no physician
aboard. 1t used to be KDKF, sta
ton of the Seamen's Church Insti-
tute in New York, from which med
ical advice was flashed to ships at
sea. Now there are four govern
ment health stations on the Atlantic
coast and one on the Pacific coast,
but each has its own call.
Indications are that radio receiv
ing and sending will be combined
into one operation within short
time. The recent telephone CONVEX
sation from an ordinary wire tele-
phone to the steamship America at
sea included use of a duplex tele-
phone by which the speaker was
also listener. without the necessity
of turning the switch continually
from sending to receiving.
Sound waves travel farther
through the ground than in the air.
Radio waves may also be more eff
fective by transmission through wa
ter or the earth. That's the belief
of Charles P. Steinmetz, electrical
wizard. With sending antenna and
receiving set grounded, the earth
would act as a return circuit for the
current.
A sheet of aluminium back of the
variometer dial will neutralize the
effect of body capacity in tuning
in radiophone signals. The alum
mum strip should be grounded.
Care should be taken that it does
not touch the frame of the vario-
meter.
Keep away from high-powered
telegraph lines. There is the temp
tation to attach an end of the aerial
to the convenient line post near the
house. But there is also danger of
being thrown of by a violent shock.
Instead of soldering connections
in the aeria, an ordinary clean
splice Joint can be made, covering
with tin foil and then tapped. This
will keep out moisture and last
long time.
Music publishers are demanding
royalties for their productions sent
broadcast by radio. The American
Association of Authors. Composers
and Publishers, has started negoti-
atoms with the Westinghouse peo-
pie for collection of a tax from all
radio sending stations.
The radio has cut in on the profits
from monograph records and sheet
music. Less of this source of mu-
sic is being bought today, says Will
liam Rossiter, music publisher, be-
cause thousands OF fans are depend
ing on the radio concerts for their
amusement.
Those mysterious signals, says
Professor Ambrose Fleming of Lon
don university, are caused by fric-
ton of the rotating globe against
the great outside vacuum
Possibility of interplanetary ra-
dio communication is distant, says
Professor j. A. Fleming of the Uni
versity of London. An electrified
dust screen thrown off by the sun
keeps the radio waves down to the

lite unfit for long distance radio
