HUGE STATIONS
INTERFERE,
He SAYS
Expert Explains How "Side
Waves" Affect Tubes.
Suggests Remedies.

The chief causes for picking up
interferences are improper opera
ton, and the fact that the set,
when properly operated, is in an
extremely sensitive condition and
ship and shore stations are bound
TO. be heard, especially the spark
stations. In normal operation Of
q sensitive receiving set there are
enough "side waves" sent out by
q powerful commercial station to-
cause the detector tube to function.
In testing out this theory, It
seems that the broadcasting car
rier waves" pick up and carry
right with them the dots and
dashes of q powerful transmitter.
1t has been found that between
two broadcasting stations no sound
will be heard from this spark
transnitter, while as soon as the
set is tuned to the "broadcasting
peak of either station the code
transmitter will be almost as strong
as the broadcasting, and in some
cases 1t Is even stronger.
Several Explanations.
This may be explained in several
ways. When your receiving set Ii
IN perfect tune with the broadcast
ing station your tube is oscillating
in synchronisn with the tubes of
the transmitting station. Just as
soon as this synchronism is de-
stroyed you hear howl in your set.
This is caused by the difference in
the oscillations of your tube and
{. those Of the broadcaSter.
Suppose your set Is in perfect syn
chronism. It Is not going to take
much to destroy that, and powerful
oscillations sent out by a CONNER
cial code station may be just suf-
ficient to cause this.
~ The result is that every time the
operator Of this code station touches
the key, your synchronism Is de-
s:royed and you hear the "mush,"
as 1t is called.
This is only a theory, but It
sounds plausible, because you do
not hear the code station on either
side of the broadcasting wave, but
only when you are right on 1t.
The kind OF interference outlined
cannot be eliminated on any kind
Of set, especially where the broad
casting stations are operating on a
wave length close to that Of the
commercial stations.
Good Operation Needed.
f AS the set is tuned down to lower
waves, the interference becomes
less and less, and with less than
36O meters this sort Of interference
is hardly noticeable.
There are many cases where
broadcasting stations interfere with
each other and these can be divided
into two classes, both due directly

ceiver is located to the broadcaster

liam A. Brady, theatrical producer,
who has conceived q sudden fright
about the prospect Of radio devel-
opment.
This is a theory which appears to

Brady, however. Many Of the
theatrical magnates are inclined to
regard the peril as negligible, and
hardly worthy Of thought. From
sentiments expressed, 1t seems that
IL MIR. Brady is seeking to organise
his fellow producers to battle
against the radio, he will have to
devise some method by which his
squadrons can be conscripted.
Should Mr.. Brady succeed in
creating his anti-radio battalions,
he probably will find his sternest
opposition from the forces within
his own ranks, led by Arthur Ham,
merstein, who said yesterday that
far from hurting his business radio
had helped It.

RIBBON AERIAL
SOLVESFAN'S
PROBLEM
Furnishes High Frequency Con-
ductor of Very Low
Resistance.

What kind of an aerial shall I
use? This question seems to
bother radio fans as much az any
one thing connected with the
apparatus.
Ordinarily a single wire from SO
to 100 feet in length will do very
well, but radio frequency currents
such as those induced in the aerial
by the incoming wave are peculiar
in the fact that they do not pene-
trate to the center of the conductor.
but really travel over the surface,
reaching only a short distance be-
low 1t.
AS low resistance in the aerial
and all the parts which go to
make up the primary circuit is one
of the most important factors In
selective tuning, 1t Is obvious that
in order to furnish adequate con-
ductance In the aerial itse!f, wires
OF very large cross section would
have to DO used. Such a wire is
heavy and requires a substantial
support to maintain It in bad
weather.
This difficulty has been largely
done away with by the substltu-
ton of the ribbon type aerial.
This consists Of a light copper
ribbon, which naturally presents a
much larger surface to the in~oni-
ing wave and is at the Same time
light and flexible. AS tho chief
requirement is surface, rather
than cross section, the ribbon
arrangement furnishes a high
frequency conductor Of extremely
low resistance which Is becoming
more popular every day.

BY l. G. PENNEY,
Liberty Radio Company.

Tho practicability of twoLn-one
set, combining a standard tube set
with a separate unit comprising a
/ tuning element with crystal recu-
fier, has probably been mulled over
by many proadcast listeners. It has
been suggested that such a com.
bination would assure the recep-
ton of local programs without the
use Of tubes and with the conse-
quent saving Of the current sup.
ply, yet by means Of a switch for
disconnecting the crystal outfit,
the tube set may be utilized for
the distant broadcasting stations.
Indeed, several manufacturers
have placed such sets on tho mar
ket, and, theoretically the idea
seems good, however, the radio fan
who possesses a tube set seems
little inclined to return to crystal
reception. The reason is apparent:
neither the distance nor the volume
that may be obtained from q tube
set Is possible with the crystal
outfit. Loud speaker operation is
seldom possible with a crystal set,
as second point.
Advice for Experimenters.
However, for those who wish to
try the combination. a few sugges-
tons are respectfully offered.
Firat-It is not advisable to try
the combination on standard
manufactured set with the idea in
view of using the tuning elements
of the set for use with a crystal
detector. Such a procedure neces.
states breaking or changing con-
nections in. most standard sets,
which should be avoided. The
average set on the market Is built
according to certain specifications
and any internal changes in the
wiring may seriously detract from
IT'S efficiency. !,
Second-For those who wish to
build outfits comprising a vacuum
tube outfit with a separate crystal
unit In the same cabinet, 1t is
units be used. The use OF the
same turning element to be used
for local receptions by means Of the
crystal and for DIX by means of
the tube means the installation Of
one or more switches for throwing
one or the other out Of the circuit.
j his Hloe1lS tHo use Vi HlOIC WHY
and a consequent frightening Of
the leads in the tube set which is
generally considered had medicine"
in the assembly of radio receivers,
Ideal Combination.
The ideal combination of crystal
and tube is undoubtedly that which
makes use Of both at the same
time, that is, utilizing the tube as
an amplifier. either for radio or
audio-frequency currents, with the
crystal as 1t should be used, as
detector. This combination has
given excellent results, and is, of
course, widely used in the popular
reflex" circuits.
AS a final word to those who
wish to use the crystal rectifier for
local broadcasting, and their tube
sets for DIX and greater volume, 1t
is suggested that entirely separate
sets be used. The cost of construct.
ing a crystal set combined with a
tube set is little less than the cost
of two separate outfits, and for
greater efficiency in both sets, It is
advised that they be constructed
separately.
