Improvement in Sets.
Il have been reading with interest
the criticisms of local broadcasting in

Takoma ID. G, i'll IL letter to the radio
editor. Il have very little trouble tun-
ing it out. but if ] do ] either stop
listening or tune il in strong If the
people who are kicking We're living in
Davenport. Iowa. they would want Voc
to shut up so that they could receive
the lectures broadcast from Arlington
have found two improvements in sets
If YOU have a new antenna, leave the
lightning switch SO that il is not con-
nected to the set or the ground. Hook
the free end OF your tuning coil to the
slider that the butt antenna is connect
ed to. This will have no effect on some
stations. but will make others very
much louder.
With crystal set that has these
improvements | have received WIZ.

east. Mr.. Turner said:
Last night we heard over the
radio most excellent concert by a
noted local broadcasting station and
enjoyed it very much. 1t has oc-

the same time afford some good en-

Il am sure if they would only see
