or no thought need be given to this
as a possible cause of interference
with some one else. If. however, you
are in a city where there are many
radio receiving sets near you, you
should, as an act of courtesy and
consideration, use every care against
tuning while'your tube is oScillatinE.
You will want to know two things
in your efforts to carry out such a
plan OF tuning: u) How to know
when your tube is oscillating and
for this whole practice is associate ed
only with hunting such, without the

You can always tell when your tube

There is a mistaken popular, i'm

are the real offenders in this trouble
and that sets having two circuits are
immune from it, Such is not the
case, as repeated tests have shown.
A two-circuit receiving set with tho

ceive the maximum strength of sig
nails, will act as a radiator OF signals
to just the same extent as the single
circuit set.

That such q condition should be ex-
