Super Regeneration
With Loop Brings in
Stations 700 Miles
Reader Gets Results Equal
to Those Obtained Before
With Aerial Used ON His
Regenerative Receiver

During the last week I have rece,voa
reports from readers who have con-
strucfed the super-regeneratiye svs.
tem' many of them having obtained
very good results. l will be glad IN
publish from time to time the exner;.
ences OF readers with this system as
guide TO other radio fans.
The following letter from DR.. Donald
A. MacDuffie, of Clean, N. Y. shows
very fine results with the system .nd
his report giving some of the details
OF his set will be of value to other
readers. 1t is reproduced herewith:
knowing that you are interested in
'ne results that are being obtained by
the Armstrong super-regenerative cir
CUT, am writing you to tell of the
circuit. VII .
Il have followed closely the direc-
slons given by you in The New York
Tribune. l have 10 turns on the sen
ondary OF the coupler. For the open
core choke l use a duo lateral coil Of
800 turns. Signal Corps VIZ tubes
are used; The loop is three feet on a
side, with twelve turns of covered bell
WIRE spaced one-fourth inch apart.
After having used this circuit for
two weeks / am able to get the same
stations with the loop as 1 have been
getting with an outdoor aerial and a
two-stage audio set. Located as am
IN the center of large circle OF
broadcastlng stations, / am well able
to test the selectivity of this circuit
80 far l have received the following
stations at approximately the follow
ing number of miles distant:
"NOF, $50; WOR, $50; WIZ. $50.
kDkA, 225; WV, 800; XWM, $50:
WHAM, 100; WLK, 500; VIVA, 700:
WGY, $50; WGR, 10.
i use magnavox in connection
with the circuit and the volume and
meditation compare very favorably
with anything l have previously re-
ceived on an outdoor aerial. These
results l am obtaining surely speak
very favorably for the future of the
Armstrong super-regen tive circuit. y

Use of Choke Coils

Question Il am studying Armstrong
svper-regenerative receiver hook-up and
there are few things which puzzle me
What are choke coils? What is the differ
ence between open core choke coils and
iron core choke coils? Can these coils be
bought ready made ?-J. j. c.
Answer-fn the super-regenerative
receiver the open core choke is for
radio frequency and the iron core
choke is for audio frequency. The cir
cult comprising the two resistances, the
variable condenser and the iron core

Batteries for super-Regenerator

Qnesti on--I should appreciate 1t very
Euuch II you would answer the following
questions about the supcr-regenerative
teceNer; J: What size batteries are nee
essary Ga, u and @ IL use wv Dol tubes
2 VIII condenser, coils, etc, be same size
ior wv 201 tubes? 3. what changes on
"inding rotor Of yaricoupler 7-B. r. r.
Answer. II you use wv 20t tubes
use 6-volt "a" batteries and 80 volts
on each of the first two tubes and try
l2o on the third tube. If the third
tube will not stand 1870 volts it will
notify you by showing blue glow. II
no blue glow appears then 100 volts
will be safe. Otherwise it will be
necessary to reduce the voltage down
to about 80. In this case the &C" bat
teries on the first two tubes will be 4
volts and 6 volts on the third tube If
you use 100 on the plate, 2. All the
other constants of the circuit will re-
main the same. 8. Put twice the mum
Der of turns on your variocoupler.

Feeding 'Em Meat Brings I'm
Long Distance Report

The life of the personnel of the naval
radio-compass stations is often slow
and monotonous, but during July the
radio men at Folly Island, NV, led a
strenuous life. Due to their own PROV
ess they were provided with fresh meat
for a week, according to a report re-
ceived by the Navy Department. A
number of men stationed on this island,
about eight miles off North Carolina,
INDUCED in a rare sport of landing a
41O-pound turtle, which contained over
$40 eggs. At the same time other radio
fishermen caught sixty-fve pounds Of
game BASS, which obviated the neces-
sity of eating canned willie" and
"gold fish, that week.

there Is any difference between ampliflca~

Answer Regeneration. in itself, is

which it cannot go without the vacuum
tube commencing to oscillate, and as a
consequence of this it is ofttimes nee
essaryl to add one or two stages of
audio-frequency application in cas-

Transatlantic transmission

Question:. what Is the time OF trans~
mission OF press reports. including New
Yorks daily financial news to Europs ?
2. The wave length which such news ia
broadcast? 3. The call letters or sta
tons from which these daily reports Rrs
sent? 4. c. W. or spark? a. C. N.
Answer. The time of transmits
sion depends upon the pressure; conse-
quently it varies from five TO hftesr
minutes. q. The wave length depends
upon the stations, but the news Is not
broadcast; it IS sent direct. 8. There
are no daily" reports sent abroad. 4,
All stations use continuous wave. One
uses multi-spark c. W. and the others

cents higher than he would have been

"Suits me-" The commodore non
chalantly handed Scraggs five hundred
dollars. "Gimme a receipt" he said.

but I'm free to confess that I'd like TO
be consulted oncet In a while"
'sThat's logic" rumbled the single
minded McGuffey.

commodore. ~ amt askln' you two

swell, let's dress this here diver"
,retorted the cautious Scraggs, IAN
send him into the hold for look
around before we make up our minds"
Captain Scraggs was not man to
take chances.
They moored the launch to the
wreck and commenced operations. Mr..
Gibney worked the air pump while
the diver, ak in hand. dropped into the
murky depths of the flooded hold. He
was down half an hour before he sig
nailed to be pulled up. All hands
sprang to the line to haul him back
to daylight, and the instant he popped
clear Of the water Mr.. Gibney unbur-
dened himself of an agonized curse.
In his hands the diver held large
decayed Goldfish!
Captain Scraggs turned sneering
glance upon the unhappy commodore
while iMcGuffey sat down on the damp
rail- of the derelict and laughed until
the tears coursed down his honest
face.
"a dirty little codfishin' schooner"
raved Captain Scraggs, "an' you
a-sinkin' the time an money O. the
syndicate In rotten Goldfish on the
say-so of clairvoyant you amt even

ness. all / got to say Is: Excuse me-"
Mr.. Gibney seized the defunct fish
from the divers hand, tore 1t in half.
slapped Captain Scraggs with one aw-
full fragment and hurled the other at
NcGuffey.
'T'm outer the syndicate" he raved,
beside himself with anger. Here l

change his spots" He raised his right
hand TO heaven. I'm through for
keeps. Well sell the pearls today,
divvy up, an dissolve. I'm through"
.Glad of It," growled McGuffey.
Il don't want no more O. that Goldfish,
an as soon as we git fightin room I'll
prove TO you that no near-sailor can
insult me an git away with 1t. Me
an Scraggsy's got some rights. You
can walk on Scraggsy, Glib, but 1t
takes a man to wall on the McGuffey
family"
Nothing but the lack OF sea-room
prevented a battle royal. Mr.. Gibney
