THE HAGUE OUTLOOK.

The outlook for the success OF the
proposed conference at The Hague
can hardly be. said to be promising.
The United States fatty refused to
participate and now France practical
lily has done the same. And it is all
on account of Russia 1t was in the
hope of doing something for Russia
that the conference was called. The
refusal of two of the principal coun-
tries in the world TO participate is
due to the attitude that is being main
tanned by Russia
It will be said, of course. that Rus
sia's condition is due to the war. but
the fact is that her desperate condi-
ton today is chiefly due to the cessa-
ton of production naturally incident
to the overthrow of all the fundamen-
tai principles OF liberty-assurance OF
personal liberty and the rights of
property. No one in Russia is pro-
ducing materially more than he needs
for the support of himself and family.

and that is one of the causes of some
OF the interference, especially where
there are two Or three aerials on the
same roof, as in the case of some apart
ment houses.
Nov, what is needed to overcome
this is some sort Of radio valve-if
you like to call it that-which will per-
mlt the received waves to pass down
the aerial and be recorded in the tele,
phone receivers, but which will at the
same time prevent the oscillations
from the receiving set itself being
radiated from the aerial.
There is great chance here for
the amateur or novice experimenter tc
come forward and solve what may in
the near future prove to be a very
grave problem. There isn't the sIipht.

piece of apparatus for that purpose

assumed premise that an average Of at
least four persons are listening in on
each of these receivers.
In other words, they have come to
the conclusion that at the lowest esti-
mate four million people will be sit
ting with telephones glued to their
ears when the Congressman starts up
his oratorical fireworks. This is too
wonderful a chance to pass up, espe-
cially when it is taken into considera-
ton that their speeches cannot be in
terrupted by catcalls, Kisses or en-
barrassing questions from hecklers.
There is, however, one thing the ex-
pectant Congressman overlook, and
that is the fact that the radio audience
can certainly shut off their apparatus
any time they do not like the stuff that
is being broadcasted. For this reason
it is imperative to the candidates from
both parties not to perpetrate any
trash on the ether. 1t will lose them
votes. On tho other hand a we'll

Under these circumstances there

TO Prevent Interference
John Grinan, First Amateur to Communicate Across
Continent and Atlantic, Points Out Per-
feet Radio of the Future

One of the most romantic figures in
the army of radio amateurs is John F.
Grinan, known intimately to all anna
teurs as Johnny" From the days
when the coherer was the sole detect
or in radio work, and ten-inch spark
coil the only transmitter, John Grinan
has been hard at work in the field of
fies as one of the Oldest members Of
the fraternity of radio amateurs. He
is director of the exclusive Radio
Club of America--the "Four Hundred"
Of radio circles--and has been chosen
as the subject of this weeks inter
view
Mr.. Grinan has the enviable dstinc-
tion Of being the first amateur to send
message across the continent with
amateur equipment, and last December
added to his laurels by sending the
first amateur message across the At
lantic Ocean.
He originally achieved outstanding
recognition from his fellow amateurs
by instituting the first relay across the
continent from New York to Los
Angeles and return in March, 1917 On
that occasion message was relayed
from one amateur station to another,
and the reply received within one hour
and forty-fve minutes from the time
Grinan started the message on its long
passage across the continent and back.
The First Trans Continental Message
He followed this up with excellent
work until few weeks later he ac-
tually succeeded in sending message
from New York to Los Angeles direct
without relay, using only 450 watts
power in his synchronous spark trans
mitter at Station Ppm. This is less
than one-half of an electric horse
power.
Then last year came the famous
first transatlantic communication with
the station erected at Ardrossan, Scot
land, by Paul F. Cooley. Grnan with
his associates-Major Edwin II. Arm
strong, inventor of the regenerative
circuit; e. V. Amy, the short wave
antenna expert; George E. Burghard,
president of the Radio Club Of Ameri-
ca, Minton Cronkhite and Walker In
man-erected special amateur station
at Greenwich, Conn, which has become
famous under it's call letters of I-BCG.
Night after night during these tests
the associates kept watch at the sta
tion, and sent out their messages in
the hope Cooley would pick them up.
Fate strangely enough chose Grinan
New-York tribune., 1922-04-09

for the successful role, and it was his
message that was the first to be re-
ceived from this country by Cooley.
During these tests Grinan also sue
ceeded In communicating direct with
the Island of Santa Cataline off the
coast of Californian distance greater
than that of Scotland.
In his interview for The Tribune
Radio Mr.. Grinan outlined one of the
iGost interesting situations for the
radio novice. That is the effect caused
by "heterodyne."
Receiving Sets Transmit
Every few Of the new radio FANS
he said, "realize that their regenera-
tive receiving sets are miniature trans
mitters, ard that undsr certain cir
cumstances they send put an audible
signal by 'heterodyningS upon the car
rier wave of the broadcasting station.
This sounds formidable, but what it
means is this: The broadcastine sta
ton is sending out a wave length with
frequency of somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 100000 cycles a second
The novice in tuning his apparatus
sets it oscillating at 83O,5OO cvcles q
second. Therefore, 500 times every
second these two waves clash with
each other and so produce an audible
note: This will be recorded on prac-
tlcally every other receiver near him,
New-York tribune., 1922-04-09

Summing up, Mr.. Richardson con-
cluded his log as follows:
"in the way of an experiment., per-
kaps the most interesting data gath
cred was that of the effect of location
on signals. Nearly all previous theories
seemed to be confirmed, except that Of
immediate proximity of rock, steel
bridges and bodies of earth. Very
little difference could be noted whether
the railroad ran through q steep cut,
thirty or forty feet deep, or was on
the level.
"Whenever the train went through
a thickly wooded piece Of land where
the trees were high all long distance
signals faded out entirely. The near
ness o. body of water or stream,
even though small. seemed to greatly
increase sig lal strength. The position
Of the antenna in regard to the sta
tioa from which we were receiving
was another important factor, for often
gong around curve on a perfectly
level plain would make one set of sta
tions completely fade ont and bring in
another.
Small contours in the earth's sur
face, when they were not wooded,
seemed to have little effect, but the
location OF mountain mmedately be-
tween the train and stations in a Ger
tain locality would cut out signals en-
tire!y. This was evident very strongly
when we lost s-BUW while rounding a
mountain . but we could hear him again
when higher up on plain. The best
signal strength Of all was when pass
ing on high embankment across
bare plain. This seemed even better
than the proximity Of lake. Of course,
all these observations are those from
only two trips, but yet they seemed to
hold true in nearly every case.
