Birmingham Man Hears English Station For
 Several Minutes

A story is told of an amateur radio operator that thinking he head Kong Kong being China, he later found that It was only party playing Nah Jongg in the next room. Many tales of distant sta -tions are told and large percentages of them being after times discredlted. but the experience of MT. J. A. Dovei, of 1415 North Thirtieth street, who got station PHO, London England a few nights ago. Lovel was so anxious to have this authenticated that he called in some of his neighbors to hear the voice across the Atlantic, which they did on the loud speaker. This is con sidere6 quite feat and the credit is given by MT. Dovel to his five tube Atwa ater-Kent set with which he gets all the coast stations easily.
 Atwater-Kent sets are gaining quite reputation for distance and satis- factory service. This line is distributed in Birmingham by Birmingham Elec- tric Battery company and number of retail dealers sell it locally. Some good territory is available however, and those interested are invited to get in communication with Birmingham Electric Battery company in Birming- ham.

common A battery to operate all of the tubes
 When the voltage difference between the two ends of the plate coil P1 and P2 becomes great enough to force transfer of energy back to the grid cir cult through the capacity of the tube NC equal to the losses in the grid circuit, oscaillations will commence, unless stop ped by some special means.
 The Neutrodyne employees neutraliz- ing condensers for this purpose. The Deresnadyne set employees the dereson- ated plate circuit shown in figure 4, this differs from the Neutrodyne in that it limits the voltage difference that can be built up in the plate coil between P1 and P2, thereby removing the basic cause of self-oscillation by preventing an excessive voltage across the plate in ductance.
 This result is accomplished by prop erly proportioning the coil in the plate circuit with respect to the grid circuit and the incoming signal to which the grid circuit is to be tuned. It is this feature of detuning or deresonating the plate circuit that suggested the name "deresnadyne." Deresonating is effect ed by reducing the number ot turns In the primary of the coupling transformers in the plate circuit to the smallest num- Der consistent with high amplification and at the same time reducing electro magnetic and electrostatic couplings to minimum.
 The connecting wire B in figure 4, which is the common filament lead in the commercial Deresnadyne set, can be removed and separate A and B bat teries used for each stage without af- fecting the operation. If the connecting filament wires were removed in the com mercial Neutrodyne receiver, its opera tion would no longer be free from oscil- lation because the neutrodyne circuit would no longer be present. In addi- tion to this, the transformers of the deresnadyne can be connected so that their primaries and secondaries have the

There are three common types of tuned radio frequency receivers in use today; the type that uses resistance in the grid circuit to control oscillation, the Neutrodyne method in which the ca pacity within the tube is balanced out by the use of condensers of small ca pacity, and the Deresnadyne method.
 The use of neutralizing condensers reduces the volume and quality of the signal somewhat and is usually difficult to adjust properly The use of a resis- tance is the grid circuit, such as potientiometer or "losser" as is some times called, also introduces losses that cut down selectivity and distance. If receiver can be constructed without the use of either of the above methods, and still be stable and easy to operate, the improved quality and power of reception is considerable.
 The Deresnadyne type of receiver uses neither QOndensers or resistances to con- trol self-oscillation The plate circuit is detuned, or deresonated, so as to pre- vent the generation of excessive energy.
 With the present types of apparatus it is only possible to use certain amount of energy for clear, undistorted amplification. Any energy in excess of this amount does not increase the signal strength but does ruin the quality, causing whistling and distortion.
 Instead of allowing this excess energy to be generated in the plate circuit and then neutralizing or suppressing it in the grid circuit, the Deresnadyne prin- ciple simply prevents it from ever being generated. This is the simplest and most fundamental way of solving the problem by stopping oscillation at its sources in the plate circuit. The result is that the receiver has a beautiful quality and freedom from undesirable noise and at the same time the greatest possible amplification.
 To great many the Deresnadyne ap- pears to be very similar to the NeutrO- dyne, but the following will show that it operates on fundamentally different principles. In figure 3 the fundamental circuit of the commercial Neutrodyne is shown in heavy lines, while the dotted lines represent the next stage. Naturalization is accomplished by means of the coil XL and the, condenser XC. In the commercial sets the coil XL con stitutes the secondary of the transformer whose primary is the coil PL, and XL is the grid coil of the succeeding tube which is shown in dotted lines. In com mercial Neutrodynes the connection "A is absent, this connection being made through the filament lead "B" which connects all stages together.
 It will be seen that the Neutrodyne circuit would not exist in the commer- cial receivers unless the stages were connected together by the use of a

RADIO ASSISTS
 BISHOP FREEMAN
Helps Building Of Ma tional Cathedral In
 Washington

WASHINGTON, D. o., Nov. B. Radio is making it possible to build a great cathedral in the twentieth century in much less time than was required in the Middle Ages, according to a survey made public yesterday of the contributions to the National Cathedral Building fund re- ceiyed from Bishop James D. Freeman's radio congregation.
 Hundreds of gifts from the deaf, blind and invalided in many states, who hear Bishop Freeman preach in the Bethlehem Chapel of the uncompleted Cathedral, where Woodrow Wilson is buried. and from visitors to Washing ton and other eastern cities, who listen in at hotel lobbies and the homes of friends are being received by the Ma tional Cathedral foundation. These con- tributions range from one dollar to several hundred and are doing much to swell the building fund.
 The letters that accompany the gifts show what the radio is doing for re- ligion. A typical one from a man, who has been an invalid for years follows:
 "Now comes the radio, restoring many of the blessings, long denied through the tedious and suffering pro- cess of this disability; the joy of the entertainment, music, addresses, games and what I have missed more than any of these, the services of the churches. am moved to make the enclosed con- tribution to the building fund of the Cathedral. It is tiny mite to be sure but given gladly in a spirit of prayer for the welfare of this great undertak- Ing and desire to be one of the 10,- 100000 others sharing in the glory of this house of God"
 Another letter came from blind broom-maker in West Virginia. He sent the Bishop a whisk broom along with his contribution and said that his moth- CT, who had been deaf for years also heard the sermon by radio every Sun day. One man wrote that he heard Bishop Freeman preach on board the Leviathan going to Europe last summer, later in Paris and again over the radio from Bethlehem Chapel.
 A crippled boy in Southern Mary land, who did not have an amplifier wrote Bishop Freeman that he listened to the sermon and then repeated it to the members of his family and the neighbors, who came in for the service. Many such groups attend the service by radio. They often take up an offering and ask that it be used to help build the Cathedral.
 Bishop Freeman wrote in reply on one occasion: "One of the most inspir- ing aspects of the extension of my ministry made possible by the radio is the responses coming in from over the country and helping to form an image of the vast congregation worshiping in unity, though so widely scattered. It is deeply gratifying to me to find that this great congregation is also responding to the vision of the Cathe- dral and disposed to aid in bringing it to completion"
 In recent address Bishop Freeman declared that the revival of the pro phetic ministry would result in a great re-awakening of interest in religion and that the radio would play an important part.
