CHECKED
Single Circuit Receiver Built
That VIII Not Re-
radiate,
BY ISRAEL KLEIN,
Times Radio Edeitor.
- SINGLE circuit receiver that


M will not re-radiate?
S Convert it into three
circuit tuner. It's easy.
Sounds like a freak, but it isn't.
It's a good, workable single-tube set,
with just as good results as the re-
generating variety, yet keeping the
circuit from feeding back directly into
the antenna.
This effect is brought about by the
simple expedient of disconnecting the
antenna from the primary inductancs
and installing an intermediary Undue
tanco Of about eight turns of bus bar.
Even where this is not used, how
ever, extreme care in tuning could
keep the tube from oscillating and
prevent interference with surrounding
sets.
The parts for this set include;
yariometer
1 23-plate variab BILE condenser
00O25 grid condenser and leak .
vacuum tube socket
/ rhtostatt-6 ohms
panel by II inches
Dashboard by II inches
2S feet bus bar
1 phone jack
6 binding posts.
Phones Only
This, beside the regular equipment
Of vacuum tube, dry and storage bat
teries and phones. Loud speaker can
not be used effectively with this
circuit
In winding the antenna inductancs
Of bus wire, eight turns around and
parallel to the primary, four on each
side, would be sufficient to act as 81
virtual wavetrap against oscillation
of the Sc It also sharpens recep-
uon considerably.
The var1ometer can be of any
standard make, reception being de-
pendent on a perfect instrument. A
vernier on the var1ometer would help
critical adjustment. A vernier ad-
Justed rheostat also helps.
The B battery voltage is 2215. The
tube may be a UV20o or C30o.
Operation
To operate the set:
Insert the vacuum tube. connect
the batteries and turn the rheostat
until a kissing CT frying noise IS
heard in the telephones.
Set the variometer at zero and turn
the condenser knob gradually until a
signal Is heard. Then adjust the
variomcter until maximum signal
strength is obtained.
Even with the extra inductanca coil,
it is essential that the set be kept
from bowling. The coil prevents
radiation, but it is not fool proof. If
bowling is heard, turn back the rheo-
stat slightly. or readJust the variable
condenser, until the noise dies out.
The best adjustment is just at the
point before bowling sets IN.

ing in Europe is as popular
III with the fans there as IT is IN
this country; for one significant rea-
son:
The variety Of languages.
All Of Europe can be placed neatly
inside the boundaries Of the United
States and the Province Of Ontario,
Canada. Yet the people on that con-
tinent speak sixty distinct languages,
to the one spread over the entire
North American continent!
The difficulty of understanding p

Cept music, is apparent. Even were
all restrictions and limitations on
radio brOadcasting and receiving now
existent in Europe removed; with
every one as wild about radio as we
are in this country. European fans
would still be faced by the uselessness
If listening in on a lecture or other
talk they could not understand.
Local Areas
Every nationality, except the Rus
sian. is confined within an area
which we may safely term local. so
far as broadcasting is concerned. One
station for each country would be al
most enough to satisfy all the fans.
In England, where there are more.
they interlock regionally. as do many
neighboring stations in this country.
Yet that human desire 10 reach
out beyond ones limits has seized
European radio amateurs to the ex-
tent that they have given greater
impetus to the movement for an in
te-nationaI language.
Numerous international language
radio societies are being formed by
the European amateurs, who are
convinced some new and simple
means Of communication should be-
adopted for their DIX, or long dis
lance. work. It is not so much a
campaign for a universal 1anguag e,
like the effort to adopt Esperanto or
lido throughout the world. as it is a
movement to perfect an auxiliary in
ternational language.
Start Made
The national language may remain.
But the European amateurs and other
radio fans are seeking a language for
long distance communication.
European radio amateur societies
are already proceeding along this
line. They have oegun to formulate
a language which they call lido, -
although it Is not the lido suggested
as a universal language. Its original
name was ITO" from the initials of
international Language" with an
20" signifying it is a singular noun.
This lido" Is based principally on
11tc90 roots taken from six most
popular and varying languages, with
some from other languages.
Perhaps, when international and
traus-oceanio broadcasting becomes
popular, American fans also will have
to adopt this language.
