How tor Increase the

II a receiver fails to reach the
higher wavelengths in the broad
cast band 1t indicates a lack of
capacity In the tuning condensers.
Sometimes the trouble can be elm
mated by adding q coil of twenty
turns OF number twenty-five gage

with the aerial. Another way is to
connect a fixed condenser OF .0001

NEW WAVE BANDS
GIVEN AMATEURS
New Regulation Will Permit
Operating in 1856 to
1928 Meter Field.
Two wave bands for radio telephone

Two wave bands for radio telephone
work are now open to American
amateurs by the assignment today
of the band from 1856 to 1928 meters
for the work. Formerly the tele-
ponic work of the amateurs was
confined by governmental regulations
to the wave lengths between ITO and
$50 meters.
Granting this new ether field to
the amateurs followed the recon-
mendation of the fourth annual
radio conference in November and
Is the first of the suggestions relating
to assignments of frequencies that
has been officially approved by the
Department of Commerce. Other rec
concentrations as to minor changes
in the ALLEGATION system are still under
consideration and several additional
regulations are expected in the near
future.
Opening up of a new channel for
the amateur radio telephone work
will be welcomed by that group of
amateurs who have experimental
with their transmitters on the higher
wave lengths and who have been
clamoring for PERMISSION TO work on
still lower bands.
1t is confidently expected that by
working the wave lengths around so
meters considerably greater distances
may be covered and that information
al conversations, conducted with COM
paratively small amounts of power,
will become frequent during the long
Winter evenings.
In assigning the new bands to the
amateurs the Government will con
tinue the regulations as to the hours
the stations may be worked and the
other interference regulations. Should
this transmission interfere with other
telephone or Geographic work on
nearby wave lengths 1t will be dis
continued by the interfering station.
Although no definite figures as to
the number of amateurs equipped
with apparatus for working on the
low wave bands are available, IL is
believed that several thousand plants
are so equipped and that the change

any great expense or work.
