How to Build Two-Tube Loud
Speaker Set for SO

There is no doubt that for those
who require a simple, inexpensive
set, one that is easy to build and easy
to operate, a two-tube 'regenerative
set easily stands head and shoulders
above all others.
There has been considerable agita-
ton against the regenerative types
of receivers. Some of this criticism

Radio Editor:
Being an amateur station operator
myself, it is customary for me to
defend the other operators whenever
occasion presents ITSELF
Mr.. Paul F. Cain complained in the
Thursday issue of your column. about
a station which transmits code night
ly at IL to IL o'clock, especially on
Tuesdays. He says this station
browns the programs with its signals
and calls 1t, without justification, an
amateur. Mr.. Cain. apparently, is
under the impression that an amateur
operator is violating laws when he
transmits at II pm. and later.
First, there is great possibility of
this station being a commercial one.
because of its consistency in sending
at the same time each night. Sec
ondly, the amateur station license
states that a silent period from s
until 1880 pm. be observed. After
that time the amateur is at liberty
to transmit Thirdly. there is pos
sibility Of this not being an amateur
station because of its high wave
length.
] can conceive OF no amateur step
ping his wavelength above 800
meters, since the Department of Com
merce has placed at the amateurs
choice such a number of ultra short
wavelengths.
Every amateur operator knows the
outstanding values of short waves
and, instead of increasing their
wavelengths they are continually de-
creasing them Short waves have
repeatedly bridged the Atlantic and
Pacific when long waves failed

Radio Editor:
1 was quite interested in an article
by Lawrence Phelan in the radio COL
umns of Wednesdays Star. have
also wondered what kind of wave
length Mexico City uses. Last Thurs
day during the transatlantic tests I
received program on the $50 to 400
meter wave length, and although the
music at times came in fairly strong,
could not understand the call let
ters. At first ] thought the an
nouncer was using Scotch dialect, but
afterward there was some doubt as
to whether he was speaking in Scotch
dialect or q foreign language, pre-
sumably Spanish. Due to the fact
that at times ! was certain it was
English and at other times Spanish,
1t may be that ] had two programs
mixed up. The next day a friend of
mine saiG he distinctly heard the
Mexico C-.y broadcasting station
CYL on TIE 500-meter wave length.
A station was also heard on this
wave length (400 meters) on Tuesday
and Saturday, and on Saturday | was
sure the announcer was speaking in
English, although l could not get the
call letters, due to the howl of the
reradiating sets. The only musical
number that I knew was THE Sim
pie Confession" played either on a
pipe organ, cornet or saxophone, at
1885 pm. Saturday, which was fol-
lowed by lady singing.
I might state that on Monday,
Thursday and Saturday / received a
