What Every Radio Fan Sholld Know
About Aerials and Aerial
Construction. Part III.

The first thing that we should know
when we come to the construction of
an outside aerial is what we can
and what We cannot do in its con-
struction so that we will not run
afoul OF the civil laws in construct
ing the aerial or lose in efficiency be-
cause we have not given due con-
sideration to the factors which govern
the mechanical and electrical char
acteristics OF various installations
In most cities and towns, ordinances
forbid the erection of aerials and
wire lines over public streets so that
1t is against the law to stretch your
aerial from your house to your neigh
bors house across the street.
The fire underwriters have also
iaid down certain rules regarding the
proper installation of aerial systems
to prevent any possibility Of damage
1t Is not permissible to erect an
aerial above, below or in close prox-
unity to any electric current nt-carrying
line through which a current Of more
than 900 volts is passing. They may
be erected in such positions over, be-
low or near lines carrying a lower
voltage current IL care is taken to
make the installation a strong one
to prevent the possibility OF breakaEe
or the aerial system and consequent
contact with such lines.
Soldering the WireA
Where two wires are Joined to
make single aerial span, the wires
should be soldered at the joint or
connected together with an approved
splicing device. The easiest, safest
and most efficient way to do it is to
twist the wires together and solder
the connection. thus providing a good
mechanical and electrical connection.
Where inside plug aeriais are used,
the plug aerial must be of an ap-
proved type to make sure that there
will be no danger from the power
lines.
The wire used for the aerial, lead
In and ground lead should be of cop
per. approved copper-clad steel or
other metal which will not corrode
excessively. and in no case shall
they be smaller than No. II 3. and s.
guage. except that bronze or copper
clad steel may be as small as No. II
B. and S. guage. The wire used may
be bare or insulated.
Much has been said about the ef-
flciencies Of various kinds Of strand
ed and other high efficiency aerial
wires. Tests have proved. however.
that little is to be gained from the

Seles Evening Express.
Radio Editor:
VIII you please eniighten me as to
what in your opinion can cause q
very peuculiar sound which is heard
during broadcast reception? To de-
scribe tho sound, it would seem to be
like that over a telephone line. with
the operator pulling out and pushing
in cord plug, very rapidly, or a
loud speaker plug in and out Of a
jack. The sharp, staccato sounds are
usually quite loud and interfere ma
terially. The fact that this condi-'
eion obtains using three different sets
would seem to eliminate the trouble
AS being in the sets, as it is evident
with a crystal. one-tube or three
tube set.-W. W. NJ.
Outside interference may cause the
trouble. Your antenna may be too
close to a telephone line. II your
set is near an elevator you may hear
the make and break from that A
trolley line near your home may also
cause such interference. Pick up
local station without the use Of either
the antenna or the ground. and if the
noise continues change the direction
Of your aerial or change the ground
connection, as the case may be.

one asked for the call OF the station

located in Altoona, Pa. In last Sat-
urday's Star you. for the third time,
state that WGAW is the only station
in Altoona, Pa -
Now, where is WFBG?
And where is WGAW?
Since writing the above I find that
in one printed call list WFBG, the
William +. Gable Co, is given as the
only station in Altoona and in an
other WGAW is given as the only
station. Both operate on 261 meters.
Probably this information will help
