eccentric character In the person
OF one Liberty Shottle. who is con-
stantly tempting the goddess OF

Don't wind a hundred feet of wire on

loop antenna so constructed to give

The two advantages of a loop IN

Of the loop antenna Is the small
amount of energy picked up. II loop

close, hIgh-powered stations, ordinary
regeneratiye receivers with audio-fre-
quency %amplifers will give good re
suits. However, IL a long-distance re
ception Of medium and low power
transmitting stations is desired, then
radIo-frequency application must be
used.
There has been placed on the market
a radlo-frequency simplifying trans

conjunction with RadIotrons type NC

give an audibillty application Of 20

fer, employing type UC-714 coupling
transformers In conjunction with ones
present set, will give practically the
same signal strength that is now being
received from the outdoor antenna.
Though a loop antenna of larger
section and fewer turns would be
more directional, the antenna described
here will give good results for Its size,
and is small enough to be easily trans
