a reasonably good set the best thing
to do Is to learn how to tune It,
and to master the job.
Not only that but in setting up
the different sets he discovered how
essential 1t is to make all connec-
ttonS secure He found that the
farther the loose connection is from
the final output the more cracking
there will be from the loud speaker,
for the simple reason that trouble
near the input is amplified more
than a similar trouble would be from
the audio frequency amplifiers on.
OF COURSE he didn't use these terms,
and when the dealers man mentioned

Smith called a halt on theory and
asked for q few plain facts.
II was thinking that perhaps those
power wires out front have something
to do with the interference we GET"
he said.
That's quite possible" l admitted
1.-The way we've strung your tenn
porary aerial it parallels the power
wires This isn't according to radio
Hoyle. What we had better do when
stringing up a permanent antenna is
to put 1t on a bias SO that, extended,
1t would cross the power wires and
my antenna wire on sharp angle"

Smiths third evening OF radio con-
sisted of trying out several new sets'
none Of which produced any better
results than the one he had hrst
installed. But they opened his eyes
to the varieties of hook-ups and
theories, and made the words super
heterodyne. neutrodyne. regeneration
and reflex mean something.
Naturally Smith saw what a vari-
able thing radio Is and how many
ways there are Of arriving at some
what the same results. One set
brought in a local station with a
ground connection alone. Two oper-
ated on dry batteries alone. But in
most cases outside aerial and storage
battery were the rule.
It's remarkable" Smith declared.

1t would certainly be confusing. too,
if had not made up my mind to
absorb a little of 1t at a time.
realize that in buying a good set to
start with I'm plum ging rather deeply,
but I'd rather learn the theory of
1t all by picking 1t up little by little

He did not have to wait long to
learn Il bit of the groundwork, for

him not to buy anything that would
disturb the neighborhood's radio en-

miniature, but annoying, broadcasting
stations when they oscillate, but their
programs are anything but accept

The advantages of regeneration,
however. are possible in other types
of receivers such as the neutrodyne.
to mention one Smith was Informed
that radio would be greatly aided
by fewer straight regenerative sets,

this ytpe off his list. He figured he

himself out OF popularity.
Even In his haste to give each OF

RADIO CONGESTION
Warming IS GIVEN
Secretary Hoover Notifies
Backers of Broadcasting
Stations of Conditions.
BY CARL II. BUTHIAN.

Immediately following his announce
ment to the radio world that the
GLASS B broadcast wave lengths were
exhausted, or practically so, Secretary
Hoover wrote to some 80 potential
hackers of broadcasting stations call
ing their attention to the congested
conditions
Timely Warning Conveyed.
The letter may serve as timely
warning. Ordinarily applications for
licenses are filed upon the completion
of stations, but even now it would be
useless to apply for a class B license,
when there are no vacancies in the
ether channels. The names of the
organizations reported by district
radio supervisors as erecting OF con-
templating the construction of high
powered stations are not made known
by the Secretary, but it is understood
that most of them represented re-
ligious orders, educational bodies,
chambers of commerce, publishers or
big manufa cturers. Except for seven
pending applications in New York
and three in Chicago, most Of the re-
ported projects were in the South and
Southwest; Florida, Texas and Ala
banla concerns were included. They
arc all too late to secure exclusive
class B wage lengths.
Odd Thlse Developed
1t is curious that so many of these
prospective broadcast transmitters
want to operate where the congestion
is at its Worst-New York and Chi
cago. More class B stations in either
city are out of the question, If we are
to have any guaranty of good trans
mission and reception Why some big
organizations do not seek to operate
In the great open spaces" of radio

tion as well. reach just as far and, by
remote control lines, be operated from
practically any center of business or
commerce.
Seventy-eight class 3 stations are
now on the air sharing the AT avail
able wave lengths, and about dozen
more are on the priority list, most of
them old class a stations seeking a
transfer to the more popular route
through the ether. During the past
year new stations have come in so
rapidly that the department can't
guarantee anything in advance. Glass
