Air Bug" Works
Without Aerial
Receiver Given Away by The
Bee Picks Up Messages
With Use of Coil.

The quick adaptability and thor
ough capability OF the junior "air
bug" receiver that is being given.
away by The Bee was demonstrated
recently when Z. T. Munroe, jr.,
caught the Omaha Grain Exchange
station, WAAW, without the use of
an aerial-an uncommon occurrence
in radio.
Ray Rainbolt of the Omaha Radio
company was demonstrating large
receiving set not far distant from
station WAAW when Munroe
hooked his miniature set that con-
sisted of a one-inch coil, crystal and
receiver to the aerial. The reception
from the grain exchange was as audi
Bile through the "air bug" set as
through the larger receiver.
The lead from the aerial to the "air
bug" became disconnected and, to the
surprise of the onlookers, the grain
reports kept coming in, the coil act
ing as an aerial.
