For the first time in the history Of
radio communication the amateurs OF
this country will be given an oppor-
tunity of receiving signals from their
European colleagues when the third
international transatlantic tests are
held in December. under the joint
auspices of the American Radio Relay
league and the wireless societies OF
England, France and Holland.
AS consequence of the remarkable
results obtained last December, when
Paul Cooley went to Scotland with u
super heterodyne receiver and obtain
ed signals from 20 American anna
teurs, the British government has
let down the barriers against amateur
transmitting sets. Permission has
been granted to the Wireless society
OF Manchester to install continue
GUS wave transmitter. with an out
put of one kilowatt for the tests. The
French government has also allowed
more liberia! limitations.
The action of the two governments
gives the amateurs on this side of the
Atlantic an opportunity to prove
their ability in reception for the first
time. 1t Will also be a novel COM
parative test between the best prac-
tice of European and American APP
paratuE both for reception and

What an AudibIllty Meter Is


Q. /. In receiving a phone station
why does one almost always hear the
carrier wave before the music or
talking? 2. What is power fac
tori" How is 1t measured? 8. In
winding io-frequency transform
ers is the primary wound in opposite
direction from the secondary or arc
they both would in the same direction?
4. What is an audibility meter?
What is it's construction? What is /: :,
used for? Where Is it used? In what
circuit is 1t used? 5. In regard to
CIV transmission the secondary volt
age of CIV transformer Is $50 volts
when one 5-Yatt tube Is used. When
two 5-watt tubes are used what would
the secondary voltage be? 6. In
what order would you put the follow
ing tubes as to their satisfaction in
the use as radio-frequency amplifi-
ers: The VII, Moorhead A-P,
RAG. Audion, and the Radiotron?
III. d.
A l. If you hear the carrier wave
before you hear the music or talk
ing. it Is because you have the fila
ment. current of your tubes burning
brightly and your set oscillating-the
consequence being that you are het-
erodyning on the carrier wave. This
4
broadcasting station, because once
you get his carrier wave you can
then adjust to the music and reduce
the filament current after you have
got good adjustment.
2. The power factor" is the ratio
the watt component of curreat and
voltage in the circuit is to that of the
wattless component. In other words,
IL is a measure of cess of cur
rent flowing over that necessary to
produce a certain amount of energy.
3. In radio-frequency trans
former the direction of winding docs
not make any real difference.
4. An audibility meter is a box of
resistances which Is ca1ibrated. 1t de-
ponds upon the sense of hearing II
the experimenter in order to get
standard results. and Is used to COM
pare the audibility obtained from any
receiving set. as compared with an
accepted. standard set of apparatus
the latter being standard in all
its parts.
5. Secondary voltage would be the
same as for the single If the two
tubes are used in parallel. With the
two in series the voltage would be
somewhat less than twice that of the
single tube.
6. I doubt very much whether you
will get very good results with the
combination of different tubes that
you mention, but the only way in
which you can determine this is to
vary them around In the different
sockets. I am unde- the impression
that the A. p. tube is a soft" tube.
In that case 1t could only be used as
a detector.

Q. l. Why is it that 1 can hear WIZ
and WEAF on 500 meters? 2. What is
pilot CELL and what is an initial
charge. 9. Was WEAF formerly
2VB? 4. tried a condenser across the
telephone terminals of my set but I
still must hold the telephone termi-
nal which goes on the positive post
of my "B" battery. / also checked
up my battery connections and find
they are o. k. 5. Does "tk's' stand
for "thanks?" l get it frequently
when transmission Is finished. 6. Will
you please tell me what "hr" stands
for? For instance, why calls MSN-
"Msg hr mr. | w l l." etc. l also get
SVC quite frequently-as follows:
"MSU de why SVC-Party does not
live 2S3 Park Ave. New York. APK.'
$. B.
A. 1. The reason that you hear
WIZ and WEAF on 600 meters is due
to what is known as "harmonics'-
only in this case you are receiving
them on a sub harmonic. The only
way in which this can be explained is
by reference to a musical instrument
of the string variety. After a certain
string is set into vibration. other
strings-one, two or three octaves
above, and maybe one or two octaves
below will vibrate in unison with ii.
This is practically the same thing in
radio. 2. A pilot cell" is a cadmium
cell used to determine the condition
of the positive and negative plates
on the storage battery. The initial
charge is the first charge put into
the battery. 3. WEAF was formerly

tie more capacity across the tele-
phone leads in your set. 5. "Tks"

that it never did work right and she
didn't want him to spend any more
money on 1t. During her mad career
she said that when school started

he did, and she tuned right in to a
man talking, but instead of keeping
him in she threw up her hands and
told US in a very excited voice that
she got somebody. Moving her hands
SO suddenly. OF course, knocked out"

troit Free Press CIV c X).
Ray, how much does a Magnavox
cost?' she asked Ray while the late
Atlanta concert "roared in" Ray
told her and it was decided that the
owe family would chip in" and get
one. 1t seemed that Mrs. owe en-
joyed useless Injuries herself
She asked Ray when was the next
time he was going out to see his girl
because she wanted to operate the
set. Ray wasn't very "enthused,"
however, and the motion was dropped
from the meeting for the present.
I guess you are all wondering what
happened to Mr.. Owe Cor in the radio
amateurs language, o. M. You see,
fellows, there is only, two pair of
phones in the Owe family and there
are just twice as many people who
are "Owes" as there are pairs of
phone. You cansreally see that confu-
sion is going to result when someone
far away Is being heard Ray has
brother, o. Owe, and it seems that o.
and the Old Man were sharing the
phones equally. BY some means,
though, they began sharing them I'M
equally and Mr.. Owe left the scene
and was soon in bed
An interesting thing happened
while we were listening to w S b.

The American and Canadian mem

viewing their chance of hearing the
British amateurs using this amount of
power, since several American ANA
teurs using less than 500 watts of C.
W. energy were heard by Paul f.
Cooley, who was sent over for the
tests by the A. r. r. l.. and who was
stationed at Ardrossan, Scotland.
Mr.. Cooley is arranging to estab-
fish his record breaking receiver at
some point on the north Atlantic
coast during the coming tests. with
the idea of copying signals from the
European amateur stations.
