SHORT CALLS IN
USE BY LICENSED
RADIO OPERATORS

Even though you know the wire
less code, you may be puzzled by
some of the signals being flashed
from one station to another.
These signals, or letter combina-
tons, form separate call code and
should be learned as thoroughly as
the dot and dash system. They
help to shorten messages between
stations.
Each signal, it will be noticed,
begins with @" That is the in
troductory or warning letter for the
actual message in the rest of the
com bination. A question mark
after each combination changes its
declaratory meaning to the CORES
ponding question.
The authorizations. or "calls,"
that are used most frequently
among licensed amateurs and pro-
fessional operators follow:
QRA-This is station
QRH-My wave length is
QRK-I am receiving well.
QRL-I am receiving badly.
Please send 20 -. for adjustment
QRM-I am being interfered
with.
QRN-Atmospherics are very
strong.
QRO-Increase power.
QRP-Decrease power.
QRQ-Send faster.
QRS-Sed slower.
QRT-Stop sending.
QRU-I have nothing for you
QRV-I am ready.
QRW-I am busy. Please do not
interfere.
QRX-Stand by.
QRY-Your turn will be No =
QRZ-Your signals are weak
QSA-Your signals are strong.
QSB-Tone is bad. Spark is bad
QSC-Your spacing is bad

shore had been thoroughly dem
onstrated
installations on many ships fol-
lowed, but the real significance of
the invention to the maritime world
was not appreciated until it played
for the first time a dramatic role
in a marine disaster. That was in
1909, when the steamship "Repu5-
lie, Of the White Star Line, met in
collision an Italian ship, the Flor
ida. off the Banks, near Nan
tucket Island. The crash came in
the middle of dark night. 1t was
then that radio came into its own.
When a young wireless operator
named Jack BInns, pressed his key
and through the agency of radio
called for the succor and relief Of
1900 human beings on a sinking
ship, his signal sent a thrill around
the world.
The famous distress call, c Q D
then represented the International
signal meaning, Il am in distress;
I want help" Binns followed this
call by the position of the ship in
latitude and longitude. Then, as
now. when a wireless operator
hears the distress signal all else
must stop until help is given, or
until the situation is made thor
uoghly clear. Today the distress
signal is S o S, but the meaning
and procedure are the same
On the night that Binns sent out
the famous c Q d it was picked up
not only by a number of ships, but
by a little station at SiascOnset,
on Nantucket Island, Mass. Jack
Irwin, the operator on watch there,
received the call and Immediately
notified other ships of the appeal
from the Republic" and the posi-
ton of the vessel. Help came
quickly. and fifteen hundred lives
were saved.
Parenthetically. it is interesting
to note here that the same opera
tor, Irwin, later had occasion TO
send the distress call and to re-
ceive the same much needed assist
ance which, a few years before he
had been called to render. His
radio appeal was sent from the ill
starred airship America" which,
under the pilotage of Vanniman
and Wellman started on an air
journey, but came to grief after
having flown 1000 miles. The
wireless call for help was heard
by the steamship Trent, the yes
sci speeded to the location given,
off the Bermudas, and picked up
the crew of six men whose descent
from the doomed gas bag had been
effected by lowering a small life
boat and setting it adrift by cutting
the ropes.

TO BOYS FOR
RADIO DEVICES
Young Fans VIII Have Chance to
i Display Talents at Radio
IL Exposition.

The schoolboy who ignores his
ehum's two lifted fingers when they
summon him TO the swimming hole,
or is deaf to the urgent appeal to
inlay ball." and hastens to his
workshop to bend over vacuum
tubes, will be given an opportunity
TO come into his own, according to
mans of a committee in charge of
radio contests in connection with
the National Radio Exposition to be
held in Chicago June 26-July 1.
Five contests in making radio de-
vices, the purpose of which is said
TO be ito unearth young Edisons of
wireless" have been announced by
the committee; three of them will
be for young people, two will be
open to anyone. Contests are open
TO residents or ny city, but each
contestant must come in person to
Chicago to prove that he made the
device he offers.
For the grade school students an
opportunity will be given to make
a crystal detector set of ITO to 600
meters. 1t will be judged upon its
workmanship design and practical
bility. The prizes will be: first,
s25: second SIS; third, $40. A
more difficult proposition will be
offered to the student in the high
schools and manual training
schools. They will be asked to
make a regenerative detector, two
stage amplifier set, IT'S to 500 me-
ters wave length; for this three
prizes will be given: first, $50;
second. $50: third, $40.
To give young men outside of the
schools an opportunity, prizes will
be offered to all under 81 years of
age. This contest will be for the
making of the smallest set for re-
ceiving code and for practical use
the set occupying the smallest
space. For this the prizes will be:
first, $50; second, 500 third, $40.
One grand prize of 500 will be Of
fered for the best loud speaker of
the makers own design through
out. This contest is open to any
one. Another 800 prize will be
given for the greatest radio novel
ty. This also is open to everyone.
All the devices entered in the
various contests must be at the
headquarters of the National Radio
Exposition, AIT South Dearborn
street, room 4O1, by O'Clock Fri
day evening, June %.
The committee comprises ]. C.
Hail. in charge of radio station
WBU. city hall; r. E. Hughes, a
teacher at Evanston high school,
and F. D. Pearne of the department
of electricity at Lane Technical
high school. Another committee is

sending license and do I need one?
The government requires that all
sending stations be licensed under
the radio law Of Aug. Is, 1912.
Under this law it IS provided that
an amateur may obtain license for
a transmitting station free of
charge by fling the necessary par
ticulars with the radio inspector of
his district. This act also provides
that every transmitting station
shall be in charge of a licensed
operator, meaning that an amateur
must obtain both a station and
operators license The operators
license is also free but the appli-

Operators are invited to submit
their problems to The Argus Radio

Radio expert
P. P. K, Mineral-Various kinds
of "hook-ups" and diagrams can
be secured from the Karlowa Radio
company, 606 Best building, Rock
Island.
What is the wavelength of an
antennae As feet long and 20 feet
high, composed of three wires
spaced, three feet apart?
The natural wayelength of such
an atennae would be $50 meters.
A R. Aledo-Can I use the bat
teries of 80 volt lighting plant for
the "B" battery on my detector
tube?
Yes, this should work very well.
What would be the cost of a sim
pie receiving set which l could
make myself
A set using a crystal detectOr
can be constructed for about $12,
One employing an audion detector
tube would cost around S45, includ-
ing a 6-volt storage battery.
Why is it that after hearing a
very loud discharge of static on
my receiving set the set will not
work at all for about two min
utes, and then without doing any
thing to it it will commence to
work again?
An extra heavy static discharge
causes a charge on the grid con-
denser that is so much greater
than one produced by a signal that
the weaker charges have no effect
on the tube until the heavy charge
has leaked off. Shunting the grid
condenser with a 2-megohm grid
leak will help the charge to leak
off faster.
B. R., Kewanee-Is the single
circuit type of tuner better for
music than the twin variometer
sets?
Most single circuit tuners are
better for the reception of music
than the twin variometer sets
sets since they tune a little board
er, and are easier to adjust.
How much does it cost to get a

Radio Primer

RegeneratfOn-The property OF a
radio receiving circuit to feed
back" energy from the plate cir
cult to the grid, so as to amplify
the original strength of the re-
ceived signals. This method of am
pIification was invented by E. III.
Armstrong, formerly a major in
the U. S. signal corps. A circuit
having the capacity for regenra-
ton is called a "regenerative, or
Armstrong, circuit"
Impedance = Resistance offered
by a wire to a current flowing
through it, due to the pressure of
an opposed electrical flow. This is
irrespective of the actual resist
ance of the conductor in ohms. I'm
pedance, instead of being a resist
ance, is the result of a reaction
Grid Leak-A high, non-induo tive
resistance connected between the
grid and the grid and aerial, so as
TO allow excessive electrical
charges to leak off. This helps
maintain stable control of the grid.
StatOr-That part of var-ome-
ter or variocoupler which is sta
tionary. 1t usually holds the pri-
mary windings of the tuning in
ductance.
