AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio inspector Schmidt Urges That
They Learn the Laws and
Regulations.

Nine out of every ten radio fans are
good sports, but the tenth is either
fan with poor judgment or ''rotter."
It is up to the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them, by playing fair, says Radio In
spector l.. r. Schmidt of the Ninth
district.
This~can1be done by observing Ger:
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy of" these regulations may be OBJ
tanned from the superintendent Of doc
uments, government printing Office,
Washington, D. c., for Is cents. It is
worth while to spend Is cents in order
to be a square shooter" in the radio
game. r.
The great trouble with amateurs Is
that when they want to send mes
sage around corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one in Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount of power
to get the message to it's destination.
'In all circumstances, except in case
of signals or radiograms relating to
vessels in Distress, all stations shall
use the minimum amount of energy
necessary to carry out any communi-
cation desired" ~
Amateurs should keep their wave
length to 200 meters.
They should use Il pure wave" or,
as the regulations state, "if the send
ing apparatus is of such character
that the energy is radiated in two or
more wave lengths, more or less sharp
ly defined, as indicated by sensitive
wave meter, the energy in no one of
the lesser waves shall exceed 10 per
centum Of that in the greater.''
The wave must be sharp" AS to
this the regulations state: ''At all sta
lions the logarithnlic decrement per
complete oscillation in the wave trains
emitted by the transmitter shall not
exceed tWo-tenths when sending dis
tress signals or signals and messages
relating thereto" .#
Amateurs frequently are at fault in
calling stations too often. The law
states that they can call three times,
send ID c" once and sign their station
call three times; but often the anna
teurs will send the calls dozen or
more times. q - s.,S..gy=

HOW TO GROUND AN AERIAL
II Properly Done 1t Really Protects
I. the Property From
Lightning.

Generally speaking, aerlals do not
attract lightning, but they do store up
atmospherical electricity, and, of
course, this condition does create a
hazard. However, when the aerial is
properly grounded it; then acts as a
lightning rod and really protects the
property from this electrical hazard.
Briefly, the fire underwriters require
that the aerial be grounded when not
in use by copper wire no smaller
than B. S. Gauge No. 4 or larger, and
run said wire as directly as possible"
ito the outside ground. s'.zss. .5..Ss
This means that water, castor steam
pipes inside the property cannot be
used for a lightning ground, because

and loss of life may result. So do not.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TROUBLE } SHOOTING I !
How to Detect and Remedy the
Open Circuit, Short Circuit
and Leakage.

Radio circuits are subject to the
same Ills that the ordinary power
circuits are subject to. However, to
cure them Is not such difficult task
as might be supposed, especially it
some logical procedure is used. -
If a receiver is well put together in
the first place and all contacts and
other parts gone over once in while,
there is no reason why there should
be any trouble. But the human be-
ing is prone to err, SO that for the
"once in a while" that is liable to hap
pen; this article will be devoted to
the explanation Of what might happen
to simple receiver and the best way
to fix it.
The usual troubles of the receiver
fall under one Of the following three
headings:
IAN open circuit.
"A short circuit.
3-Leakage.
An open circuit can most easily be
detected by means Of series lamp.
Nearly every one has available the or
binary ITO volt lighting circuit Take
an ordinary extension cord and cut
one wire at any convenient place and
use these two ends as test clips or
tips. The extension cord is plugged
into the house lighting circuit at any
convenient outlet and when the two
cut ends are held together the lamp
will light as the circuit is closed
When the tips are held open the cir
cult is "open" and the light will go
out
Suppose it is desired to test for an
open circuit in a tuning coil. Connect
one tip to one end Of the winding and
the other test clip to the slider. AS the
