Questions and Answers

Q. How can I arrange the lead-in
from the aerial on the roof Of an
eight-story building to the third
floor? Also give me full details for
setting up an aerial-J. r.
A. The aerial itself should be as
high as you can get it. and be about
100 feet long. The lead-in should
be run over the edge of the roof
and down the side of the building.
Small porcelain cleat insulators
should be attached to- each end of
the aerial to keep II from becoming
grounded. A stick will serve to
hold the iead-in clear of the coping
and also away from the side Of the
building. Do not let the wire touch
any object unless it Isl insulated. .
Q. How is 1t that can hear
louder with a 1,000-ohm receiver
than with a 3,ooo-ohm receiver
E J.
A. There must be something
wrong with your 3,oo0-ohm receiv-
er. The magnets are probably
weak = = =
Q. I have a short wave regenera-
tive receiver. whenever turn the
variometers in certain positions. I
get clicks in the phones. which
keep clicking like the tick of .
clock. only much slower. will you
ple1ke tell me how to remedy this
trouble? Will q condenser across
the secondary OF the vario coupler
improve the strength OF the signals
or make the tuning sharper?-LtD.
A. The clicking is omething very
unusual. You might try varying
the B battery valtie. or varying the
grid leak. A condenser across the
secondary will not help much II
you already have q variemeter In
series with IL. Try taking out the
variometer, and putting In the con-
denser instead, but both at the
same time.
Q. I have a crystal receiving set.
and some times cannot hear the
music. while at others I hear it very
loud There Is nothing the matter
with my mineral. because spark
signals always come in loud. Can
you tell me where the trouble is?
A friend of mine on the foor above
me has a two-wire> aerial. Would
1t be advisable for me to tap on to
his wires?-P. r. ..r.
A. II you say you hear the spark
signals strong all the time. then
there Is hardly any explanation Of
the intermittent signals. Changing
weather conditions is the only
thing that might be the cause. II
Is not advisable to tap the other
aerial, as long as you have one Of
your own.

RADIO CONFERENCE

/ : ID e
The future OF radio .broadcasting
| viii be determined largely. by the
radio conference that will convene
here February ~ under the chair
manship Of DR.. S. W. stratten. ~
rector Of the Bureau of Standards.
Governmental radio experts and
several authorities outside of the
government viii compose the com
mittee.
The radio conference will be
! concerned chiefly with wave lengths
from $50 to 1000 meters or ex-:
Pressed In freQuencies, from ,2.000.-
900 to 100000 cycles per second.
IL must determine how the numer-
Gus uses OF the radio telephone and
telegraph can be accommodated to
the limited number Of channels af
communication through the ether
that lie between those limits.
wave Lengths Authorizations.
Under present conditions. the
wave. lengths authorized FOR use
are as follows: Amateurs hays a
franchise on all wave lengths un-
uer 200 meters. and 200 meters ie
the length used generally for
amateur work; 800 meters between
ships or from ships to shore; mis-
cellaneous broadcasting, such as
music, Is done on $50 meters; SIS
meters for special amateur work;
tl0 meters used by colleges. par

wave length. 4S5 meters for the
Official governmental broadcasting
of CROP market and weather re-
/ rorts; airplanes and ground sta
tions talking to airplanes use 525
meters, 500. meters, another wave
length reserved for ship use: thS
| navy radio compass uses 500 met
ers. and the radio beaeons OF the
lighthouse service haye monopoly
Of 1000 meters. Al the wave
lengths between 500 and 1900 met
ers are especially reserved for gov.
srnmental use.
Expansion In Light.
Theoretically, frequencies differ
ing by 1 per cent can be used al
the same time without. serious In
reference. This, however, is no
| the case now, because OF the lack
of sharpness of wave length Of
both the sending and receiving ap-
| paratus now in use. It is certain.
\ however, that even under present
conditions at. least twice or three
times as many wave lengths can be
used simultaneously as are now
authorized. Future expansion Of
the number of usable wave lengths
will come through the use OF ap-
paratus capable. of sharper tuning
Since the rise In popularity OF
miscellaneous broadcasting, there
has been considerable interference
between the general broadcastins
on $50 meters and the special anna
teur messages on 375 meters: tt:,
has been attributed largely to IN.
struments not being tuned exactly
to the proper wave lengths.

Brown Michophone Relay.

- The Brown microphone relay is
modification of the type used by
the Royal Air Force and the Ad-
niralty. 1t is enclosed in a pol
ished teak case. On the radio side
it has a resistance of 1000 ohms.
and has a transformer mounted on
= separate base with condenser,
suitable for telephones OF 120 ohms
Resistance. This is a highly efficient
instrument. especially for the am
'Flihcation Of feeble signals, and en-
ab1es the operator to dispense with
the use Of vacuum tube ampliners.
Whereas the current : consumed
with tube amplihers is consider
able, the current required for the
microphone relay Is minute. being
approximately IS milliamperes sup
piled from a s-volt dry battery.
The Washington herald., 1922-02-26
Tubes Interest British.

Our British friends have evident
ly made up their mind not to fall
behind in the matter of vacuum
tubes. Thus their vacuum tube
offerings range all the way from
small receiving tubes TO large
tubes of 500-watt capacity. The
latest tube. or valve.fas they call
them in England, is the Mullard
ORA. The plate voltage of this
tsbe is given as 80, and the fila
uent voltage as Sc to voIts. The
base Of this tube Is OF the four
prong type. This tube is said to
combine efficiently the qualities of
a recaner and an ampliner. Thus
ie becomes possible to carry only
one tube In stock for all purposes.

. Loud-Speaker Devices.

II Is interesting to note how
many devices are being introduced
for service as loud-speakers in con-
nection with the receiving of
broadcasted music. One of the new
devices is a simple horn provided
with two arms that terminate in
soft rubber Aps. The ordinary
pair OF telephone receivers clamps
right over the two arms, so that
the sound must then rass up
through and be emplifed by the
horn. Another device takes a sin
gle receiver, which is placed in the
btse. Several receivers are pro-
Yfded with special coupling MEM
5ers So that they may be fastened
the usual phonograph tone arm,
for. amplifying the sound. There
can be no doubt that broadcasted
music Is at its best when it is
heard through some form OF loud
spezker.%-- q
