COLLEGE RADIO PIONEERS.
BroadcnsttnG Operated ut Union
s1nce Fall of 1920.

SCHENECTADY, May 13. = Although
Union College was organized in 1895 1t
was still young enough to lead the pro-
cesslon in the matter of radio broad
casting.
In the early fall Of 1890. before any
of the large broadcasting stations were
regularly operated. the Union College
Radio Club began sending out musical
programs once a week. Students who
returned to their studies after war SER
vice. realizing the great progress which
had been made by radio during the
war, devoted their spare time to build
ing n station. and on October IA. 1920,
sent out the first program, consisting
of phonograph records.
Until this season the college club used
a homemade set with six 80 watt radio
irons. II has just installed a General
Electric outfit with four 200 watt tubes.

BALTIC AT LIVERPOOL
RADIOS TO CHATHAM
Makes Record by Communi-
eating Every Night of Trip.

A record in radio telegraph service
between ship and shore was recently re-
ported by the steamship Baltic OF the
White Star Line. In a recent voyage
from iIew York to Liverpool she was in
communication every night with the
Chatham, Mass, station of the Radio
Corporation OF America. Messages
were exchanged while the Baltic was
anchored at Liverpool Bar, when over
5000 miles separated the two stations.
The Chatham station is equipped with
q continuous wave transmltter using
pliotron tubes, and at the time of the
Baltic's record it was rated at one and
quarter kilowats in the antenna.
Since that time the power mas been
raised to three kilowatts and therefore
new daylight records should be possible.
The New York herald., 1922-05-14

"The practical advantages of the
use of the wave antenna are: The
elimination Of something like 80 per
cent of the atmospheric disturbances
and the possibility OF concentrating
all reception in one station. The de-
velopments which / have described
show now that a practical solution
has been found for the atmospheric
disturbances in transoceanlc commu-
nication. The same solution has been
applied to ship to shore communica-
ton, with the result that the ocean
liners are in touch with our Cape Cod
station as soon as they leave the Eng
lish channel
The stations from which signals to
Riverhead are sent almost continu-
ously are Bordeaux. sending on $4,000
meters; Carnarvon, Wales, 14,100
meters; Stavanger. Norway. $4,000 me-
ters; Nauen and Eivedese, Germany,

might be a system of telephone wiring
covering the State OF New York.
1T is an attractive subject for theo-
retical analysis, and 1t can be shown
mathematically how extens e antenna
systems can be made with unlimited di-
rectivity. The well known loop vertical
directive antenna' has deaf ear in one
direction, but receives signals and dis
turbances from three directions. The
wave antenna turns it's deaf ear to three
directions and receives only from the
foui IN direction. For those who wish
to understand the characteristics of our
modern receiving system, in order to
make use of 1t. popular explanation
may be of some guidance.
Imagine the antenna to be a long.
narrow lake, and the wind is the signal,
and cork, floating on the waves that
beat against the shore, the detector IL
the observer stands at one end OF the
lake he will observe waves beating

against his shore only when the wind
blows iengthwise of the lake. from the
opposite shore. When. on the other
hand the wind blows from his side OF
the lake the beating waves appear in
the opposite end. while his shore Is
calm.
This. at least, would be the case II
the lake had smooth sand beaches on
which the waves would spend their
force. But, If it has steep, rocky shores.
the waves will be reflected back and
forth so that the whole lake will be
rough. The waves, which indicate the
signal wind, would thus appear at both
ends of the lake, regardless Of the direc-
ton of the wind. This must be avoided.
'The wave antenna is therefore
made with ends corresponding to the
sandy beach. 1t terminates in a re-
sistance which Is carefully adjusted
so that all wave energy Is absorbed
and none is reflected.

BUSIEST IN WORLD
Versatile Station Has Made
Great Progress in Receiv-

ANTENNA OF NINE MILES

Although Radio Central. near Port
Jefferson. L. T., is the most powerful
wireless station In the world. Riverhead.
L. T.. is the most versatile and also the
busiest.
Radio Central can talk to Wales
France. Germany or Norway with ease
but Riverhead can listen to Wales
France. Germany. Norway and any other
powerful stations that may be estab-
iisned simultaneously. And at the same
time 1t can close its ears to the power
fui impulses sent out only few miles
away by the giant Radio Central, New
brunswick, Merton and Tuckerton sta
tions and to 90 per cent. of the atmos-
pheric disturbances coming from every
point of the compass.
1t is more dramatic. more impressive.
to hurl radio messages across three or
four thousand miles Of land or water
than to pick them up at the other end
That Is why almost every person inter-
ested in radio knows a good deal about
Radfo Central and its 200 kilowatt al
ternators and very little about River
head, which picks up and revives once
powerful electromagnetic waves after
their long leap across the Atlantic
From an engineering standpoint how
ever, what has been accomplished at
Riverhead in the receiving line is at
least as remarkable as what has been
done at Radio Central. Riverhead how
ever, does its work quietly and without
ostentation; Radio Centrars tall towers
and terrific currents advertise II to the
world.

Principle with Possibilities.

THE wave antenna' as now used In
Riverhead Is the practical answer to
the receiving problem of to-day. It Is
milestone In the development of the
principle of directive reception. This Is
principle which has almost unlimited
possibilities.
THE practical form of receiving sys-
tenn which was described In one of my
papers in 1919 was used by the United
States Navy during the war, and be-
came known as the barrage receiver
1t consisted of two antennae one-quar-
ter wave length long, balanced against
each other. The wave antenna of to-
day does not require any balancing
Tho receiver Of the future will probably
consist of antennae several Wave lengths
long or several wave antennae baf-
anced against each other.
The controlling idea In this develop
ment Is mental picture which we now
have OF the nature of the disturbance
which we wish to suppress. We call 1t
static because II was assumed, In the
past, that 1t was of the nature of static
electricity. The hypothesis which Is the
basis OF our modern work Is. however.
different.
I'VE imagine the ether as a disturbed
ocean with the waves OF every length
rolling in from all directions. These
waves are OF the same nature as the
signal waves Those disturbing waves
which are OF different wave length from
our signals can be shut out by the
same means as we use for shutting ont
other signals; that is, by tuning.
Disturbing Waves Come In.
"But the disturbing waves which have
the same wave lengths as our signal and
In all respects of the same nature pass
through our tuning system like the sig
nal. We must therefore find some other
basis for discrimination than wave
length.
'If wc can construct receiver which
70 sensitive only to waves coming from
one direction then we can shut out
waves from all other directions, even
II they have the same wave length. This
idea started US on the work OF directive
reception. theoretically there is no limit
20 the Improvement attainable in this
direction. We might build a receiving
antenna focused on one transmitting
station In Europe but the antenna

Expert Tells About station.

A description of certain phases of the
Riverhead station, especially with re-
gard to the manner IN which It elimi-
mates static, and of what may develop
in the future. has been given by Ernst
F. w. Alexanderson. chief engineer OF
the Radio Corporation Of America. He
said:
TThe antenna is of new type which
gives uni-directional reception so oriented
as to receive signals from the over
ocean transmitter and annul signals
from all other directions. including the
powerful home transmitter nearby
The antenna consists of two copper
wires strung on ordinary poles, like a
telephone line. and exterdisg over a
distance of nine miles. From this an
tenna number of separate receiving
circuits Of different wave lengths are
Ted without the slightest mutual inter-
ference or weakening OF the signals.
Important as It is, from the point of
view Of Capitalization, to be able to re-
ceive an indefinite number of signals
iom the same antenna, the greatest i'm
portance In the use of this Few receiy-
ing system is its remarkable properties
OF suppressing atmosphere, disturbances.
or the so-called static which hitherto
has been the bane of radio communica-
tion. The attainment of these results
Is not an accident, 1t is the reward OF
development work covering a number of
years.

why Riverhead Is Versatile.

A few years ago in this country, and
at the present time in all other coun-
tries. every sending station had its COM
pliment in receiving station. located
about fifty miles from it, and connected
with 1t by telegraph lines. The one sta
ton talked; the other listened Now
Radio Central New Brunswick, Marion
and Tuckerton all talk; and Riverhead
competently handles incoming traffic of
all the European centers with which
they are connected. The explanation of
Riverhead's efficiency is the wave an
tenna.
The station Is not network of an
tennae such as the mind would picture
IL has simply one antenna consisting of
TWO copper wires nine miles long, strung
on ordinary telegraph poles. One sta
tion building contains the receiving ap-
paratus which separates the conglomera-
ton Of signals received from Norway,
england. France and Germany, and
transfers them directly and automatic
ally over trunk line wires into the Broad
street traffic Office In New York city,
where all incoming and outgoing mes
sages are handled. The system of con-
centration, achieved after much expert
nentation, makes 1t possible to add new
receiving circuits for communication
with any new station In Europe at a
negligible cost simply by installing a
new set OF receiving apparatus on one
OF the shelves provided for that purpose
at the station.

TRYING TO WORK out
SATISFACTORY PLAN
CBy Associated Pressl

CANNES. Austrial, Jan. 9.-Repara-
tions experts today continued their ef-
forts for final agreement on the
plan of payments to be proposed 10
Germany, and the finance ministers
worked on the partition among the al
lies of the sums already paid.
Belgium's delegates TO the supreme
council are still standing out for her
priority in full of $500, 1000, 900 gold
marks of the German payments. The
proposed increase in Germany's cash
payments for 1922 from the 100000, ,0o0
gold marks agreed on in London to
100000 600 so as TO provide a Ger
tain amount of cash above the ex-
penses of the armies of occupation,
which absorb 500,000,000 gold marks
only partially satisfies the Belgians.
They fear that abandonment of the
principle of full priority might work
to their detriment later.
In French circles here it is expected
that, when the German commission,
which has been invited to Cannes to
appear before the supreme council re-
garding reparations, arrives, the re-
parations commission also will come
here. Premier BRAND wishes to avoid
the appearances of taking out Of the

CLAIMS PROPAGANDA
AGAINST CONFERENCE
SENT THROUGH MAILS
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a Sinister
propaganda, apparently emanating
from Washington. against both the
purpose and success of the arms con-
ference" is reaching through the mails
the majority of homes, especially
those of foreign born families" John
Barrett, former director of the Pan
American Union, declared in a state
ment issued here today upon his re-
turn from a three weeks tour of the
central west.
The result of this propaganda, he
said, is that while that section is SYM
pathetic with the aims of the confer
ence, its sympathy is tinged with an
unfortunate measure of suspicion as to
it's good results"
Mr. Barrett said he also had been
impressed with "a new rapidly grow
ing feeling in the central west against
Washington as the capital and New
York as the financial center of the
country. This" he said, was due to
the serious agricultural depression
and the vigorous opposition of New
York to the st. Lawrence-Great Lakes
deepwater ways plan, on which Chi
cago and the surrounding section has
set its heart"
