GIVE AMATEUR CHANCE:
is REAL LIFE OF RADIO

When we started the Radio section
in the Age-H Herald, we had no special
section for the radio amateur proper.

orators that do DIX work. 1t is not
possible for us to appeal to the anna
teur by description of sets, etc, as
he works everything out for himself.
However, during the past we have
been advised that it would be a good
idea to have special section for the
radio amateur.
We are glad to see the amateur
is interested, but we cannot set off a
space for this, however, we will be
very glad to make any announce
ments for the anna tours or publish
any letters that they would like to
contribute to aid Birmingham in the
amateur radio line.
We would like to have letter or
two from the local amateurs telling
something about thei- work. The
broadcast fans" seem to nave the
wrong conception of the amateur.
They get mad and throw down the
head set every time one of the local
stations starts calling &C. O." or
transmitting at all. They evidently
do not realize that the inventor OF
wireless himself, was an amateur
That Armstrong who is probably the
greatest radio inventor is now an
amateur, and that Lee LeForest was

RECoRDs AIRPLANE STRESSES

Not long ago the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics undertook
to obtain information about the
stresses that are produced in man
euvering an airplane. At the begin
ming of series of experiments 1t was
observed that, when the plane was
flying a straight and level course, a
spring balance with one-pound
weight attached to it, would register
just one pound If the craft was put
into turn or made to rise, the ap-
parent weight of the one-pound OBJ
jeet increased to two or three pounds,
while on a downward dip the spring
balance would indicate less than one
pound or even zero.

AMATEUR STATION
PREPARED To SEND
ALL MESSACESF Rec
Fountain Heights Station
Can Send Messages Any
where in United
States

Birmingham's largest and most
complete amateur station, 5zAS
(Bell, Connolly and Watkins) will
be very glad indeed to take messages
from anyone and deliver them by
radio to any state in the union
: Canada, Hawaii and Porto Rico, free
of charge. This station will take
any number of messages from any
enc person and in most cases the
messages will be delivered directly
to the city Of destination.
OF course there can be no mes
sage taken that must be delivered at
once or is something very urgent
When the message is received at the
final city, it will be phoned to the
person it is addressed to or card
mailed at once. This station is try
ing to make this district Nnd city
ahead in handling messages and has
a record twice as good as any other
amateur station in Birmingham. Last
month. 5ZAS put through" IS mes
sages, IA of which were started from
this city. The rest were relayed
from one place to another through
this station. Connolly states that
they could have handled 800 mes
sages last month if they only had
them.
All messages must be written
plainly, giving the full name and ad-
dress of persons concerned. They
must be written on one side of the
paper only. Leave these messages
at the Bell Radio corporation. Visit
ing hours for this station are from
to 10, Sunday nights. The station
is located in Fountain Heights.
5ZAS has a 150-watt transmitter
&C. W. which radiates eight am
peres, seven amperes when using
chopper. This station has worked
3S states and Canada. Best DIX re-
cord $500 miles, They have received
so many cards from amateurs who
have heard them that the room needs
no wall paper. Cards have been re-
ceived from all parts of the Cali
fornia coast. The only radio district
that has not reported this station is
the seventh which il located around
the state of Washington.
Don't hesitate about sending in
messages. 5ZAS wants traffic. Any
number of messages may be sent
by any one person If the above rules
are followed.

MOSCOW. Jan. Roosevelt leaders
have not by any means given up the
hope Of some day seeing the red

express themselves to this effect.

the Bolshevist workers should be
proud of the fact that they hold
within their grasp the only capital

And l lock forward to the time"
Kamineff said with earnestness,
when the red banner of revolution
will fly, not only from within the
ancient walls of the Kremlin, in Mos
COW, but also from the flag starfs
of towers in Paris, London, Rome
and New York"

swers to his. questions will locate
his trouble. In regard to the first
one we wish to state that a grid leak
is necessary. the capacity of which
should be two (2) megohms. Also
a grid condenser is necessary to
make this tube function. The an
swer to the second question is. yes.
Edwin Prince. who has had a set
for quite awhile, states that it is
giving him unusually satisfactory re-
suits. On the night of New Year s
airy /, this amateur was listening in
on the program of WDAP, Chicago.
He heard the announcer offer five
pound box of candy to the first one
in each state to call or telegraph, so
he wired at once. As the readers
know who read the lowe" story
about this program, Ray D. Owe was
the one from this state and for that
reason Edwin didn't get the candy.
He informed Ray that it was Rays
fault but just the same his efforts
were not in vain, as few nights
later, the same station offered a good
pair of phones for the same thing
and this amateur wasted no time in
informing them that he wanted a
pair of pines, which he has received
all o. X.
Edwin's receiving set consists of a
detector and two stages of audio-fre-
quency. He hears many stations in
the extreme western portion of the
United States, such as Los Angeles.
San Francisco, Portland, etc. He is a
licensed amateur and is indeed an ac-
tive one. He has a 15-watt c. w.
transmitter which signs with the old
familiar five dots and Dee. dab. dab

He has so far worked" two Cana
dian stations and many others in
this country. One night when talking
to one of the Canadian Hams his
receiving set ceased to work and he
thought it was the old transmitter.
He reached to turn the condenser
and thus changed his wave to all
parts of the scale. / have vivid pic
ture of that Canadian guy" trying
to keep him tuned in. A few days
later card came in stating that he

was hard to keep tuned in one place.
Quite probable that it was hard to
keep tuned with the condenser on the
transmitter spinning around.
