| RE NE RAT|VS SET
MAY Be SIMPLE AND
We RY SERV|CEABLE
Circuit Described Which Is
Easy to Construct and
Simple For Operation With
Dry Cell Tube

How simple can regenerative re-
ceiver be made? That is a question
which have been asked so often,
that it is my purpose to answer it
in detail this week. As matter of
fact a regenerative receiver can be
made just as simple as non-regen-
erative set, and when it is taken into
consideration that its range is many
times greater, the advantages at
once become apparent.
In the first place the simplest re-
generative receiver, which is at the
same time simple to control and oper-
ate, can consist of vario- coupler,
vacuum tube, telephones and batter
les. plus condensers. 1t can be SO
wired up that there will be but two
major adjustments and one minor adj
justment. while in certain localities
the set can be left at a permanent
adjustment. when the broadcastiHg
stations in range are all operating on
the same wave length.
The diagram which accompanies
this article will show at a glance how
compact and simple this receiver can
be made. The aerial tuning circuit
consists of variable condenser and
the primary of the vario-ceupler. In
eases where full-sized aerial is I'M
possible it is better to shunt the con-
denser across the primary, rather
than have it in series. In these cases
practically all of the wavelength tun-
ing can be accomplished by means of
the condenser.
Tuning by Condenser
In other cases where the condenser
Is used in series with the aerial, the

@. Is there not a way of using an
air core inductance in the super-re-
generative circuit, placed in relation
to the vario-coupler. so that the iron
core choke coil and its resistances
may be eliminated?' Also, are the
duo-lateral coils amy relation to the
varioeoupler and to each other such
as at right angles, etc, or are the
angles varied or fixed? Is there any
special number of turns required on
the stator and rotor of the vario-
coupler2 Also, would not the three
tube hook-up give better results than
the single tube?-H. A. R.
A. In connection with the super
regenerative' receiver you cannot use
an air core coil in place of the iron
core choke coil, because of the i'm
practicability of such coil. 1t would
have to be so large. in order to choke
the freduencies involved, that it
could not be satisfactorily employed.
The large duo-lateral coils used in
the three tube super-regenerator are
not in any inductive relationship to
each other or to the vario- coupler.
In other words. they can be placed
practically anywhere. The yario-
coupler itself can be any standard
short-wav vario-coupler, but it
should have about half as many turns
again as ordinarily placed on that in
strument. There is no doubt about
the three-tube circuit being the best
for radiophone reception. The single
tube circuit requires a great deal of
careful adjustment.
WHY Distant stations Not Heard
4 @. My aerial is, unfortunately,
small, probably 30 to 40 feet long, of
two wires, with a 25-foot lead-in.
The ground is attached to a lead
water pine, three stories above the
ground. The only stations that have
been able to hear are WIZ, WEAF
and WOR.@ These come in fairly loud
and clear. Once heard, Philadelphia,

AMATE UR'S TESTS

ARE IN FULL SWING
American Canadian Stations
Vying With Each Other to
Span the Ocean With
Low Power

The greatest organized effort in the
history of communication is now in
effect for the third annual transat-
lantic amateur wireless telegraph
tests, which promise this year to be
more successful than ever before. in
that 1t is expected amateurs on this
side of the ocean will for the first
time receive signals from their con
freres in England and France.
The arrangements for the tests in
all three countries are practically
perfect and constitute an absolute
model of complete detailed prepare
ton. The test extends over a period
OF 20 days. which began on Tuesday,
December IL. The first 10 days were
set aside for specially chosen Amer
lean amateurs to transmit messages
to Europe. The last 10 days is
reserved for French and British anna
teur transmitting stations.
In this country the fortunate ANA
tours who will transmit were select
ed through their organization, the
American Radio Relay league, after a
process OF preliminary tests. During
these tests 31S privately owned trans
hitting sets succeeded in meeting
the rigid requirements of transmit
ting a minimum of 1900 miles over
land.
An interesting feature of these
preliminary tests is the fact that spe-
cially selected British receiving sta
tions heard more than so of the
American and Canadian amateurs
while they were in progress.
Will Test Receiver Types
One of the most important aspects
cf the tests will be the results OBJ
tanned from the receiving apparatus.
as the British amateur has special
lied more upon radio-frequency am
plification than his American col
league. The majority of the highly
sensitive receiving sets that will be
employed here to listen for the Brit
ish and French stations will be based
on the superheterodyne. One amateur
is planning to use a special receiver
consisting Of three stages of radio
frequency application ahead of his
super heterodyne, or in other words.
a set with IL tubes in 1t.
An idea OF the remarkable plan
ming which has been made for these
tests can be obtained from an out
line of the British arrangements.

Telephone Condenser Necessary
A bypass condenser is shown
shunted across the telephones and b,
battery. This can be the familiar
fixed telephone condenser, and it's ca
pacity will range between DOL and
s0025, according to the tube used.
When this circuit has been com
pleted it will be seen that the con-
1ols viii be the following: The vari-
able condenser for tuning to wave
length; the rotor of the vario-coupler
for volume. and the rheostat for
clarity. The rotor Is joined in the
plate circuit of the vacuum tube in
series with the plate, the telephones
and the b battery. In this connection
it is very important to olxerve the
connections of the rotor. When the
circuit is completed 1t may be that
no regenerative action will be ex-
perienced, and consequently no in
crease in the strength of signals.
The remedy for this condition is
to reverse the connections of the
rotor placing the lead from the tele-
phones on the side where the plate
lead was before. This should give
immediate results.
CarefrlN handling of the rheostRt
Will clear up any distortion. The
best way to tune the set is as fol-
lows: Turn the rheostat on practical
" full, or until by touching the grid
post with the finger a click is heard
that Will indicate the set is in the
oscillatory state. Next vary the
aerial tuning condenser until car
rier wave is heard.
How We've Is Heard
This can be determined by the
familiar whistle which varies in pitch
from shrill to a deep low tone, to
the point where 1t dies out, and then
begins again from the low pitch to
the high pitch. The correct adjusc-
ment is between the two low pitched
notes Now turn the filament down
until the clearest signals are heard
and then stop at the point where they
begin to decrease in volume. A small
final adjustment with the rotor will
bring in the highest possible volume.
The tuning should be started with
the rotor at position midway be-
tween maximum and minimum COUP
ling
Although it is not shown in the
diagram, a three-plate vernier con-
denser across the aerial tuning con-
denser will be of the greatest possible
assistance In getting the maximum
results with this receiver, both as
regards clarity and volume,
