What Every Fan Should Knew About
Aerfals and Their Constructf0n.-
Part II.

TAEk
There is no question about the su-
perfor efficiency of the outdoor aerial
as compared with the efficiencies of
the various types of indoor aerials.
The fact remains. however. that in
many cases it is necessary to use an
indoor aerial or do without the pleas
ures which radio can bring. There
are still some landlords and home
owners who object to the erection of
an outdoor aerial for various reasons,
so that in such cases some sort of
substitute must be resorted to.
If the limitations of the indoor
aerial are kept in mind and COM
pensated for by the use of more
powerful receiving sets. very good
results can be obtained with their
use.
The most efficient type of indoor
aerial can be made by stretching a
wire as long as possible within the
limit of about $50 feet through the
various rooms of a house. The best
way Is to string the wire diagonally
across a room or a series of rooms,
running 1t in as straight a line as
possible.
For the Bachelor.
II you live in a bachelor apartment
and do not have to be fussy about
appearances you will get best re-
suits by stringing it diagonally
across the rooms at a distance of
about a foot from the ceiling and by
using insulating bushings. or tubes
in going through the walls or tran
SONS of the rooms. 1t is not neces-
sary to have the wire at the same
level. so that good results can be OBJ
tained by running it up or down
stairs for a considerable distance.
III you are married, Friend Wife
will see to it that you do not spoil
the appearance of the house by any
such contrivance. In such a case,
caution is the better part of valor,
and since you will be sure to come
out second best in any argument as
to what you are or are not permit ed
to do to the decorative scheme of the
home, you may as well take steps to
erect an indoor aerial which will not
be Objectionable from an esthetic view
point.
Good results can be obtained in
such cases by running an insulated
wire back of the picture molding OF
one or more rooms. In this case also
remember that better results will be
obtained by running the wire from
room to room in as straight a line as
possible than by running a lot of
wire several times around the room.
In this case also more efficiency can
be obtained by running the wire up
stairs or downstairs or up into the attic
If the insulated wire used has a
white covering, it will not be noticed
Where it crosses the woodwork the
wire can be colored to match the color
Of the woodwork and will mt be noticed
If one or two stages of radio fire.
quency amplification are used with such
Aerials, the results obtained will be
comparable to those obtained when a
good regenerative set is used with an
outdoor aerial.

head on poles, such devices usually give
very satisfactory results.
In city districts where the lighting 6
wires are underground in conduits
the results are not always as good
In any case the efficiency Of the de-
vice is dependent upon local condi-
tions, which 1t is impossible to de-
termine beforehand. Most radio deal
ers will let you have one Of these
devices on trial so that you can try
it and determine what results you
can get with it. 1t you get unsatis'
factory results you can return it to
the dealer. All that Is necessary
with one of these devices Is to screw
it into a lamp socket as you would
bulb and connect the aerial post OF
the set with the binding post pro-
vided on the device.
Where a good ground connection
is not availa BILE, it is often possible
to get a very efficient substitute by
using a plug aerial. In that case the
plug aerial Is screwed into socket
and the ground terminal Of the set
Is connected with the plug aerial
binding post.
Another common type of indoor
aerial is the loop aerial, of the type
shown in Fig. 2.
When such an aerial is used, 1t is
necessary to use a powerful receiving
set employing at least two stages OF
radio frequency ampliflcation. The
results obtained with the loop type
of aerial are not as good az those
obtained with the various types OF
indoor aerials previously mentioned
in this article. Since it is more OF
less cumbersome, it is not advisable
to use it when it is possible to use
an outdoor or an indoor aerial.
A good type of aerial can be made
by winding rectangular spiral
around closet door, as shown In
Fig. 3. About s to 10 turns OF
wire on the door will be efficient. A
loop aerial for the reception OF broad
cast programs should measure from
2 to feet on a side and should
have from Is to 10 turns OF wire
spaced from one-quarter to one-half
an inch apart.

Radio Editor:
In reply to an attempt by Charles L.
Carson to blame an amateur for in
terfering with broadcasting, which was
published in this column on October 9,
would like to inform him as to the
contrary.
Station NAA, at Arlington. uses a
high powered set on a wave length of
1850 meters. Several Of its harmonics,
which occur at one-half, ne-third, one
fourth, ETC., Of its main wave, are very
strong and can be heard on any type
Of receiver in this vicinity. Mr.. Carson
complains Of interference on $50 meters
and on about 536 meters at 10 o'clock
In the evening. NAA transmits weather
reports and gives other information to
ships at sea at that time and is the
cause Of this interference, as the fifth
and seventh harmonics OF NAA CORE
IL Mr.. Carson would persuade the Navy
Department to shut down NAA while
he desires to receive broadcasting, this
interference would cease.
Mr.. Carson has the foolish opinion
that the only time that ships transmit
Is during stormy weather or in times
Of distress. His Ignorance is indeed ap-
palling if he thinks SO, for most of them
are in constant operation. Our Gov
eEIlhCHt COinpclS Oil pdSScHScI SIipS W
have q radio operator on watch at all
times, and messages are being sent at
all hours. AS long as ships and high
power commercial land stations use
arc and spark type transmitters on
waves above those used by broadcasters
and no pains are taken to remove har-
monies, interference will be the result.
But why, in the name of every
thing that is fair and just. do broad
cast listeners try to blame it all on
the amateur? 1t must be either
through malice or ignorance. and
l hope 1t is the latter. There is
not an amateur in the whole country
that is above 200 meters and any
Government radio supervisor will tell
you that out of thousands of cases
of interference reported to him not
one was caused by an amateur being
above 200 meters.

selves. Amateurs are an organized
