No. 20. Visiting . Station.

Believing there was much to be
gained by getting behind the scenes.
Smith arranged to visit q broadcast
Ing studio. 1t was his first expert
ence back stage" in radio, and natu-
rally the event was filled with inter-
est.
Smith did not visit the best station,
nor did he go behind the scenes of the
most unpretentious. This enabled
him to obtain a true picture of aver
age conditions and prevented him
from relating to other radio fans the
sumptuousness of the furnishings, on
the one hand, or the apparent crude
ness OF the electrical equipment, on
the other.
What impressed him were the vel
vet hangings of the studio proper,
where were located the piano, a few
chairs, inviting lights and, finally, the
innocent looking microphone through
which artists and speechmakers rub
elbows with the world. He had Wis
tied a studio Of one of the largest
phonograph companies in the world,
and recalled the barrenness of the
phonograph studio as compared with
the coziness Of the broadcasting room.
II shouldn't think it would be neces-
sary to have everything SO soundproof
l heard any strange noises during a
concert l would blame it on static or
the SET
That's where the phonograph and
radio studios differ" the other ex-
planned. I'VE are fussier about noise
than you would imagine, and its just
because we figure there will be un-
avoidable noises at the receiving end.
We take no chances on spelling your
evening by giving you noise that can
be avoided. A bad needle on your
phonograph record is about the only
thing that will add foreign noises to
those which, through some oversight,
were put into the record in the max
ing"
The guide explained that shortly
they would be in position to provide
an attractive waiting room for artists
why all these frills?" Smith asked
I've seen phonograph studios where
high-salaried artists sit in straight
back chairs and stare at blank walls. -
You are forgetting that many
radio entertainers are giving their
services gratis" he was told. with
the restrictions placed upon the serv-
ices of the celebrities, radio broadcast
ing would have been greatly handi-
capped were 1t not for the younger,
less known artists. 1t is only fair the
studios should offer these people as
much comfort as possible. They can
entertain you better when they are

Remarkable records of continued
efficiency have marked the expert
mental work of Lieut.. F. II. Schnell.
U. S. N, r. F., traffic manager of
the American Radio Relay League,
now on duty with the Pacific fleet
at Hawaii, testing out shortwave
radio work for the Navy. Lieut..
Schnell has communicated with over
100 amateurs in all corners of the
country and has been heard with
his 40 and 54 meter sending sets
as far from Honolulu as Paris.
The experimental work. undertaken
under the joint auspices of the Amer
lean Radio Relay League and the
United States Navy. has further
demonstrated the value of short-wave
work on remarkably lower power than
had been thought possible before.
The 40-meter set at NRRL, most
notable of the group, was constructed
to Lieut.. Schnelrs own plans and is
operated with four 50-watt tubes with
sufficient strength to make 1t heard
All of this accomplished with slightly
more power than is consumed by the
average household electric iron.
Lieut.. Schnell, who now has the
assistance of a Pacific coast amateur
is holding to daily schedule of COM
munication between NRRL and the
two mainland stations. NPG, at Mare
Island. Calf, and NKF, at Bellevue,
D. c. The work with NPG has been
practically 100 per cent perfect. while
a percentage of rs marks the eff
cheney of the schedule work between
NKF and NRRL despite the 5000
or more miles separating the stations.
The 20-meter signals from NRRL
have been picked up by stations in
eastern Canada, Pennsylvania, the
Mississippi Valley and on the Pacific
coast in broad daylight at hours when
both stations were handicapped by
the sun.
Among the towns where NRRL is
listed on the logs Of radio stations
are st. Michaels, Md; Denver. Colo:
Northfield. Mimi; New York City;
Yates Center. Kans.: Oberlin, Ohio;
Cedar Rapids. Iowa; Columbus. Ohio;
Pasadena, Calf; Dennison, Tex; Bos-
ton, Mass; Amity. Mo-, and Vincen-

LOOKING TO RADIO.
Czechs Hope to Make Prague Great
Musical Center.

Czechoslovakians see in radio the
means of building up Prague as one
OF the outstanding. musical and cul-
tural centers of the world AS the CEN
ter OF national opera, which will prob
ably be broadcast, Prague will salso
play new part in the national spirit
and advancement Of the country on
cultural lines. The government will
control broadcasting and plans to erect
stations for operation on a rental
oasis by a broadcasting company.
The national opera of Czechosloyakia
from Prague may be only one of many
national musical programs that will
be broadcast regularly over Europe.
The time seems not far away when
listener may choose between the best
musical genius of a half dozen coun-
tries which have enriched the world

BEAC0NS ARE PLANNED.
Mexico Proposes Radio Stations as
Navigational Aids.

The Mexican government is contem-
plating the erection of several radio
beacon stations along the Gulf at
principal ports and points where navi-
gational aids are needed by mariners.
1t is reported that the apparatus Sc
lected will be of an automatic type,
enabling navigators to establish their
exact positions themselves, thus avoid
Ing dangers of coastal steaming
routes.
The United States naval system
probably will be followed and no
charge for service will be made. There
are many dangerous points along the
Mexican coast. 1t will be recalled that
the u. s. S. Tacoma went aground off
Tampico a year or so ago, resulting in
the loss of the ship and several lives.
These aids to navigation will, 1t is felt,
be of great service to coastal fruit and
oil shipping.

Foreisners CAN for U. s. Sets.

During the past week six calls for
data and information on United States
radio apparatus came from potential
purchasers and agents in Spain, Aus
tralia. Brazil, Ireland and Sweden.
Sweden and England also desire
American radio tubes. Queries of this
sort come in each week to the Depart
ment Of Commerce, which reports that
they are an index to the growing pop
ularity of radio throughout the world,
as well as an indication of favor to-
ward American radio sets. The rap
idity with which United States radio
experts are increasing also empha-
stzes this trend

Radio Popular In Germany.

Broadcasting reception, termed
radio sport" in Germany has gained
almost as many subscribers in 2
years as the governments telephone
company In 40 years. The first
broadcasttng station was opened in
Berlin In October, 1928, two years
after our first stations went on the
air over here. With the increasing
popularity of radiophone broadcast
ing, which spread to Germany from
the United States via England and
France, the demand for broadcasting
stations and receiving equipment be-
came acute, Consul Ravndal advises

LOCAL DISTORTION.
Remedied by Cutting Out Radio
Frequency Tubes.

Receivers which employ two stages
of tuned radio-frequency frequently
distort the music and speech from local
stations. This occurs because the
first two tubes amplify the powerful
local signals beyond the point where
the detector tube rectifieS properly.
The simplest way to remedy this
trouble is to cut out the radio-fre-
quency amplifying tubes on local sta
tions, or, If the wiring arrangement
will not permit this, receiving local
stations on short indoor antenna
will solve your problem.

trative heads of the government to-

wear within $4,000, 100000.

wish of the late President Harding
