DOTS AND DASHES

he had gotten the Dug" just from reading the radio page. We gave him the full instructions for mak- Ing an Age-Herald set and we are expecting to hear from him soon stating how he Is getting along with the set
 Edward Beatty tells me that he has experimented for quite a while md after making both variometer ct and one using g ticker coil, he aas decided on a set that will be cracker jack"
 Edward Is going to put all his skill and thought on designing this new set and every boy who sees 1t gill turn green with envy.
 This will have one of those con- lensers made by DeForest with the Fenier adjustment n everything" He is going to have everything mounted so 1t will be pleasing to the eye and he is also going to make a rhree-stage audio-frequeney ampli- tier that he hopes will be pleasing to the ear.
 Edward has had a fine set before but 1t was "ali over the table," as he expressed It, and this one will be gathered together. With the former set he was able to drag in" as many ss IT night and one of the IT was KFAF at Denver, Colo. so what will he do" now2
 We have received a letter from a Ray but not friend Ray D. Owe this time. The letter is as follows: Radio Editor Age- Herald, Birming-
 ham, Ala.
 Dear Sir: I have loose-ooupler crystal set. Last night after l had finished fixing another boys set. I connected my set back up and for got to connect my aerial, but In spite of this fact was able to hear WAC.
 "Yours sincerely,
 RAY FOSTER, JR."
 We are very glad to hear from Ray and if he has any other such experiences we hope to hear from him so we can tell the other bugs about 1t.
 Aaron weinstein. 252s Avenue O. tells us that he Is enjoying the To- cal concerts over his home made crystal set. Aaron has 8 single coil for inductance at present, but he is going to try using Q coil with switch points.
 D. F. skidmore has crystal .set which was made by Jack Roll and himself. The aerial Is of very large wire, 15o feet long and 100 feet high,
 Robert Marston has q loose-coupler set using crystal detector and states that he gets unusual results
 William Fort, who enjoys concerts each night from all parts of the country, states that he is more or less in the same fix as Ray D. Owe William tells me that his sister has learned to operate the set and the other night she tuned In three sta tons that he had never heard before
 The other night when was listen ing>in I heard friend of mine send ing on c. w. set. This person wal greatly interfering with my receiv- ing and was no doubt doing the same to many other listeners. He was unaware of the fact that he was causing so much disturbance as I found when I called him up, to tell him to quit. He has no license and of course had no right to send but he was irresponsible, as he had been advised that good time to test was right afte WAC stopped sending.
 guess hs will get . license now and this was just written to give U. 1, others warning who are sending.
 Many listeners regretted to hear on last Monday night that the pro- gram of WSY would be discontinued for a period of about three weeks on account of the installation of the new powerful broadcasting station, but when WSY does jar the ether again the programs will be the besi possible and the listeners will enjoy the programs even more than be. fore.
