Questions and Answers

Q. What is the field OF useful
ness of a loose coupler?
A. 1t acts as a primary and sec
ondary in the oscillating circuits
the primary being in the aerial cir
cult and the secondary in the closed
oscillating circuit. Close tuning is
obtained by varying the coupling.
Q. What are it's disadvantages2. =,
A. Lack of efficiency. especially
when loosely coupled -
Q. What is the purpose of a load
ing coil? '.t..-.
Difficulties ExpIained.
, "A. a loading coil is used in a re
ceiving set in order TO enable II to
detect stations using longer wave
lengths than the set Is designed
for. A loading coil will not in
crease the range of a set. as many
beginners think.
Q. Can a variometer or vario
coupler be used as a loading coil?
A. A variometer can be so used
Q. Can a loose coupler be used
in connection with two variometers
and q vacuum tube for a short wave
regeneEative set?; ..s 10.
A. Yes: but a yario-coupler is
moro efficient.
Q. If a loose coupler has switches
designed to cut of dead ends is it
more efficient in operation?
A. Yes.
Series Connection Best.
Q. In using more than one set Of
double phone receivers should they
be connected in series or parallel?
A. In series. This Is because no
pair Of telephones have the same
value Of resistance. and conse-
quently series connection Is the
most efficient.
Q. May any efficiency be expected
from a three-wire aerial forty feet
in length on the roof of a 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

Building at an places where sup
port Is needed. Insulation is by
means of rubber tubing at all
places where support is needed.
A. II will probably work all right
at your distance from broadcasting
station.
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 il il
touches?
A. II 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.
