From Harbor
Powerful Three Kilowatt
Station, Located at Bed

he powerful three-Ailowatt radio
station at Fort Wood, on Rcdlow,s
stand, in New York Harbor, which is
operated by the United States Armv

now operating a daily broadcasting nro.
gram between and 10 o'clock in the

broadcasting from this station will be
upon a wavelength OF 1,4O0 meters.
While this is primarily operated for
amateur wireless operators with com
pleto equipment. owners VIII. are
noviccs and have only the standard
SHIRT wave receiving sets can listen
in on this program by adding suit

In connection with the announcement

Radio Chief
Pledges Help
To Amateurs
Alexanderson, Engineer,
Says Activities Of Expert
nenters Should Be Ex-
tended, Not Restricted

Owners Of amateur radio teIephone
transmitting apparatus who have been
engaged in broadcasting music and
other forms Of cntc rtainment have been
in doubt as to the stand Of the large
radio companies toward them, partic
uarly in view of the uncertainty con-
corning the Federal Investigation which
commences in Washington this week. In
this connection DR.. f. f. ". Alexander
son, the noted radio engineer who acts
as chief technical adviser of the Radio
Corporation Of America, issued a state
nent yesterday in which he declared
that every cooperation would be given
the amateur
In it he declared that MS engineers
would cooperate with the amateurs
by suggesting to the government that
adequate wave lengths be set aside for
their exclusive use, so that their ac-
tivities could be extended rather than
restricted.
$50 far as the Radio Corporation is
concerned,' said Dr. Alexanderson, cts
own attitude, based on research and
stNdy, is very clear. The engineers Of
the corporation desire to support the
activities of the amateur They 90
even further, as matter of fact. feel
ing that in the present stage of devel-
opment amateur transmission and re-
ception during the broadcast periods
can be carried on with properly tuned
selective transmitters without inter
tering with the important public field
OF broadcast reception, where so many
families are entertained and are in
formed Of current events
Il would seem desirable to extend
amateur operations rather than re
strict them under such regulations and
using such quality of sending and re-
ceivlne apparatus as viii prevent in
terfercnce with public enjoyment and
at the same time encourage amateur
activities.

Yes. all the tubes used in the set
can be lighted by the same battery
mere Is no efficiency in using separate
batteries; in fact. it would complicate
your wiring. When using more than
one vacuum tube it is best to have a
storage battery of cons derable anpere-
hour capacity. DO not forget that YOU
are taking at least one ampere for
each tube, SO that with two tubes y

Bic New Station
will Supplant
WDY and WIZ
Powerful Broadcasting Flant
Will Be Erected in the
Heart of New Iork's
Crowded Theater Section
To Reach Larger Audience
Improvement of Programs
Will Be Possible Through
More Central Location

An important change that will ul
.ln,ately affect all owners of radio
rhone receiving equipment occurrcd d
lsst week. when il was decided that 2
rev and more powerful broadcastinp
station be erected in the heart of New
York City 20 replace the present sta
tons in New Jersey.
As result Of this decision the
UpY station located at Roscllc Park.
y. j., closed down permanently at the
conclusion Of its program on Friday
night The station at Newark. n. j.,
will continue TO operate until the new
station IN New York City can be COM
peted and placed in operation.
TIE decision to erect a new station
in New York City was arrived at in
order TO facilitate the work of improv-
ing the daily program and also to se-
cure greater efficiency in operation. No
details regarding the power or equip
ment are as yet available. but it is an
nounced that the most modern appara-
.us will be installed.
The new station will consist of
b,oadcasting wireless plant and a new
and improved studio where the artists
will sing or play for the vast radio
audience. The latest types of micro
phones, designed to eliminate all dis
.ortion, will be placed in the studio.
When completed the new station will
be operated jointly by the two corpora
IONS previously operating WIZ and
TDY.
One OF the chief reasons for the
change was the distance Of Newark and
Roselle PARK from New York City
and the difficulties Of trans portation
for artists who we're taking part in
the program each day. On stormy
days it was almost impossible for ar
lists to keen their scheduled times in
the programs
Within the last week an important.
change in the aeriais at the WIZ sta
tfon improved the broadcasting tre-
mendously and greatly increased the
results obtained from that station. To
ave made the necessary changes in
TDY to bring it to a greater stage Of
efficiency would have cost a consider
able sum of money. and it was realized
Tat it would be far better to con-
struct new station in New York City
When the new station is opened it
will in all probability be in the heart
Of the theatrical section and will be
very easy for artists to reach AS the
metropolitan area radiates pretty even
ly from the center Of Manhattan Island,
] is estimated that greater number OF
sets will be reached b* the broadcasted
programs than is the case with the
VIZ and WDI stations.

Stranded Wire Best

8. Q.-Can an aerial be made Of in
sulated wires:
A.-Yes.
10. Q-1s seven-stranded bare copper
wire better than same weight in one
place for aerials?
Alt will stand the strains better.
II. Q.-What is comparative eff
cheney of one single aerial wire 100
feet long, 80 feet high, against three
wire aerial only 35 feet long, same elc-
vation?
A-For receiving purposes there is
no parison-the first is very much
better.
IL. Q.-Should the lead-in be taken in
of the lower or upper end of an aerial
which slants?
A.--The lead-in should be taken from
the end nearest in direction to the sta
tion which you desire to receive from.
13. Q.-Will there be any leakage,
in receiving, in an aerial which is not
insulated when it happens to run about
two or three inches from wooden
building, or even if it touches?
Alt is better to have it clear as
possible. II wood were dry there might
be no leakage, but it is best clear at all
times.

Load Coil No Aid

John j. Redfern. Jersey City:
Q.-Will you kindly advise writer
as to proper hook-up for loading coil
to increase our receiving area on
wireless phone? We have three wires
on our aerial, each seventy-tve feet
New-York tribune., 1922-02-19
Difficulties Explained

A.-A loading coil is used in a re-
ceiving set in order to enable it to de-
tect stations using longer wave lengths
than the set is designed for. A loading
coil will not increase the range of a
set, as many beginners think.
4. Q.-Cap variometer or varjo-
coupler be used as loading coil"
A.-A variometer can be so used.
.. Q.-Csn e loose coupler be used
in connection with two variometcrs and
vacuum tube FOR short wave rcgcn
erativc set?
A.--Ycs; but vario-couplcr is more
efficient
6. Q.-If loose coupler has switches
designed to cut off dead ends is it
more efficient in operation?
A.-Ycs.
Z. On using more than one set of
double phone receivers should they be
connected in series or parallel?
AIN series. This is because no
pair of telephones have the same value
of resistance, and consequently series
connection is the most efficient
s. Q.-May any efficiency be ex-
pected from three-wire aerial forty
feet in length on the roof Of three
story house? Wires are seven-stranded
bare copper, elevated eight feet above
tin roof, with leading wire forty feet
long over to side Of house, over edge
of roof and down straight to window
on second floor. Wire is more than
six inches from building at all places
where support is needed. Insulation is
by means of rubber tubing at all places
where support is needed.
Att will probably work all right
at your distance from broadcasting
station.

Connections Descrihed

H. f. ,Stoeber, Brooklyn, N. Y:
Either is good. If you use the loose
coupler join the aerial at one end of
che primary and ground at the other.
Put the variable condenser in para.le
with the secondary and then attach the
crystal detector and telephones in Sc
ries with each other around the con-
denser. You should hear both WIZ
and WDY with this.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-19
Grid Leak HELPS

John {. Ashman, Newark, n. j.:
o. am having trouble with r,v de-
eector set can receive WIZ very
distinctly, but when WDY is sending
cannot hear very distinctly. 1t sounds
more like motor or buzz saw.
A--The diagram YOU inclose is not
clear as to its wiring. II you have not
got grid leak, try one across the grid
condenser. The probability is that the
WIZ aerial is directive to you and
"DY is not. Try the grid leak and
grid condenser first, and if you have
no improvement, ! will tell you how to
arrange your aerial.

4. Thielheim, n. Y:

Q.-ls it possible to eliminate signals
from one-kilowatt spark station
adiating about three amperes located
at a distance of one hundred and fifty
feet from me?
A.-The only way know Of is use
a loop aerial. but that would probably
require the addition of two stages Of
amplification at least. If the spark
station is in direct line with the
broadcasting station, nothing would
eliminate it, since he is 90 close to YOU
1t should be quite possible to get good
results with the crystal detector set
you describe at Ridgehcld Park, N. J.
Frank S. Kinsey. Hollis, L. l.:
CIV Would the addition Of some other
instrument aid in obtaining sharper
tuning. SO that KDKA or WIZ could be
heard at WILL | am using a regenera-
tive receiver with two stages Of ampl-
fication.
A.--This should not be necessary
now, as | am informed by the engineers
concerned that the wave length Of
WIZ was changed slightly last week
so that the two stations will not inter
ferc. Sharp tuning can be best OBJ
tanned with the vernier handle Of your
set

Radio Notes

Never overload the flament of vour
vacuum tubes. If the tubes are burn
ing too brightly you will get only
"howling' and "frying" in the receiv-
ers or loud speaker. The vacuum tube
needs only certain amount Of current
to work with best results. and if vou
go over that amount you arc shortening
the life of the tube and spending
money usclcssly.
