would be noticed that a certain trans.
mItting station would come in loudest
when the antenra was in a certain
definite position. That Is, single
straight away antenna receives signals
better from one direction than from
others. This is illustrated In Figure
2, which shows the dlrectional char
acteristics of this type of antenna.

stant power were moved around the
receiver along the path of the curved
line &C." the signals from this trans
mitter would come in with equal In
tensity at all positions. Conversely
stations from the direction "D" will
be received over greater distances than
those in any other direction, Keep
in mind the direction of the transmit
ting station from which 1t is desired to
catch signals and point the free end
of the antenna away from the station.
II the lead-in is brought in from the
center of the antenna, its fundamen-
tai wave length will be decreased, and
its directional characteristics will be
similar to that shown in Figure 8.

She amateur than the straight, single
wire antenna, as high in the air as it
can be placed, and about $50 feet long.
An antenna of this sort, will give bet
ter results, in most cases, than any
other sort. 1t will take up less room,
and will not cut so heavily into the
owners finances.
The function of the antenna for a
receiving set Is to absorb the maxi
mum amount OF energy radiated from
a transmltter. This means that 1t
must be so built and placed as to be
as efficient as possible. The factors
governing the type of aerial to be
erected are as follows:
Amount of space available.
The amount of money which Is to
0e spent.
The wave-length range which is to
be received.
The distance from which signals are
sent.
An aerial possesses both distributed
capacity and inductance, which COM
blned give II a defined period of oscil-
iation. These oscillations will set up
wave motion the length of which Is
related to the capacity and lnductance
by formula which can be closely ap-
proximated by multiplying the length
of the antenna In feet, plus the length
of the lead-in in feet, by 1.22. This
will give the fundamental wave length
of the antenna.
No matter what kind Of antenna Is
used II must always be remembered
that the lead-ln should be as short and
as direct as possible. In other words,
don't use up any unnecessary energy
received in the antenna to force a
way through long lead-ln to the re-
Ceiver.
If multi-wlre antenna Is used,
have the leadin consist of as many
wires as are in the antenna. These
wires should be wrapped together at a
point a few feet from the antenna and
brought into the receiving set as a
cable. Where this cable passes through
the walls of the building, 1t should be
insulated with porcelain tube or stand
ard electrose lead-ln insulators.
Be careful to keep the leadin as
far as possible from electric light
wires, telephone wires, etc. II this is
not done, an Objectionable 60-cycle
hum may be heard in the phones,
caused by electric light induction.
The ground connection should also
be as short and direct as possible
Service water pipes or gas pipes make
excellent grounds, and should be used
in all cases where available. All con
nections In the ground lead-ln should
be soldered, especially the connection
to the actual ground pipe. II this Is
not done. the ground resistance will
so decrease the strength OF the re
ceived |gnals as TO make them almost
inaudible.

RADIO
SIMPLE ANTENNA IS
BEST FOR AMATEUR
Straight, Single Wire Type,
Placed High, Is Preferable
for the Receiving Set.

II Is estimated that in one years
time from 100000 to 100000, new
radio ce-s.rvts were installed in the
United States and from observation
81 would appear that there were al
most as many different styles of an
tennae erected as there were sets
Installed. This, too. despite the fact
that the country was flooded with liter
ature telling each and every citizen
how to build his own set.
These cage, flat-top, multl-wire, UNI
6rella, etc, kinds of antenna were de-
signed primarily for their sending
characteristics. Remember that, in the
beginning of radio, the man who want
ed to hear wireless signals had to
know quite bit about practical radio.
He had to know the Continental and
Morse codes, and in addition to be a
fairly decent sort of mechanic. He
was, in short the radio amateur, who
wanted to send as well as receive.
Therefore all this early literature was
for the man who wanted to send as
well as receive.
Since radiophone broadcasting was
first started, there has grown up an.
other army of radio enthusiasts.
greatly outnumbering the pioneer anna
teurs, who do not want to send at all,
but who do wish to receive. Therefore
much of this early literature does not
apply, or more correctly, all OF It does
not apply, to the new generation.
In building an antenna. remember
that nothing Is more satisfactory for

vanlzed pipe or copper rod into the
ground.
All outdoor receiving or transmit
ting antenna should be protected by
some form of lightning arrester or
switch, approved by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters. This switch
must have at least a capacity Of 100
amperes, COO volts, and must be sup
ported at least Ave inches from the
side of the building. The ground con-
nectlon from the switch consists Of No.
10 b. & S. gauge copper wire, also sup
ported five inches from the building.
IL the antenna Is to be used for re-
ceiving only, any one of the numerous
approved lightning arresters now on
the market will be satisfactory. How
ever, these cannot be used for trans
mltting station, as the current put into
the antenna by the transmitter is In
effect miniature lightning discharge
and would escape to the ground
through the arrester.
One of the most satisfactory an
tenna for short wave reception con-
slsts OF q single wire, 100 to 100 feet
long. supported at least 40 feet above
the ground, with the lead-in taken
from one end. This wire should be
placed so that 1t Is free from all OBJ
structions, such as trees and houses.

Careless People.

Hazleton, Pa, is said to be no
worse or better than other communi-
ties In the matter of Its citizenship
paying proper respect for their flag.
but in that city the American Legion
is striving to make It 100 per cent
community in flag etiquette. So many
violations of the code were brought
to the attention of the local post that
a committee was appointed to call on
and instruct the vlolators as to how
to display the flag, and how TO act
when 1t is carried past them. and when
1t should be displayed.
There has been no resentment OF
the activities of the committee of
instruction. Its members declare they
have found an earnest desire on the
part OF citizens to pay the proper
respect and tribute on all occasions,
and that violations are merely the re-
suit of ignorance or carelessness.
They have recommended similar COM
mittees in every city and town.
