British amateurs, restricted In their
hobby by ultra-conservatiye government
regulations, have turned their atten-
ton solely to radlo-frequency ampli-
fication. This has given excellent re-
suits on all long and medium wave
lengths, but It's success on shorter wave
lengths has depended solely upon cne
expert handling Of the operator, who
has been compelled TO use tuned
coupling circuits between each OF the
radio-frequency vacuum tubes.
II is too early yet to tell which OF
the two systems will ultimately tri-
umph, but there Is no doubt that the
laurels at the present moment rest
upon the American amateurs through
the latest achievement of their leader.

assigned for maximum power ampli-
fication, while at the same time the
ratio OF the transformer must be such
as to deliver maximum potential to
the grid circuit Of the next tube.
The greatest advantages OF the
transformer method OF coupling audio
frequency amplifers are the high de
gree of application, the relative
simplicity OF operation, and the low
plate voltage required.
Chief among the disadvantages OF
the transformer coupled frequency
ampllher is noise. Also the trans
formers amplify different frequencies
to different degrees. which means
that when this type OF coupling Is
used for radiOphone reception, the
voice is distorted by the amplifying
transformers. However, from prac
teal standpoint, the average amateur
will have better results using trans
former coupled audio frequency ampli-
fiers than from any other method that
can be used with the tubes and equip
ment now available.

tials are necessary. The amplifica-
ton per tube OF a resistance-coupled
amplifier is not as high as IL is for
some other methods bat IL Is stable
and does not dlstort the input as
much as do some other methods used
which give greater application per
tube.
Resistance coupled simplifying may
be used to amplify either radio or
audio frequency.
A method OF transforming the
change In plate current of vacuum
tube 10 differences In potential Is by
means OF a choke coil. A choke coll
consists OF a number of turns Of wire
wound up in a multilayer coil and
may or may not have an iron core. A
coil of this kind offers a high I'M
pedance 10 the flow Of alternating cur
rent but has a relatively low direct
current resistance.
The choke coil on account OF hav-
ing a low ohmic resistance, will have
a smaller method OF coupling, so that
lower "B" battery potential can be
used on choke coil coupled amplihers
and the batteries can be Of smaller
capacity. s
The choke coil not only has induct-
ance but a certain amount OF distrib-
uted capacity. The distributed ca
pacity of the coil plus the capacity of
the plate with respect TO the filament'
together with the inductance OF the

the total capacity and inductance In

ouencies. When the plate circuit OF
the ampllfer is tuned, the resonant
frequency Is amplified X times, but all
other frequencies are amplifed to
less degree.
Another and by far the most
widely used method Of coupling sue
cessive tubes in a cascade amplifier is
By means OF transformers. The trans
former method OF coupling amplifier
tubes may be considered develop
ment and n refinement Of the simpler
choke coil method. Coupling tubes
