New Daylight Transmission Record

All records for radio transmission
on low wave lengths have been broken
in recent daylight tests between Eng
land and Australia, according to ad-
vices received by the headquarters of
the American Radio Relay League
Two members Of the league. E. ]. Sim
monds of Gerrards Cross, England
and Charles Maclurcan of Stratfield
Sydney, Australia. working around
dawn, Greenwich time or broad day.
light in Australia, succeeded in trans.
mitting three messages and exchang-
ing greetings using only 125 watts in
power.
This last fact, coupled with the dis.
tance of 10000 miles, places the tests
in the class of world wonders When
it is remembered that the maximum
distance from any one part of the
world to another is approximately
$500 miles it can be seen that these
two amateur radio telegra piers have
almost reached the limit in world
communication.
Maclurcan, whose station call is
2CM, started the conversation using a
wave length of 22.5 meters. He trans
mitted message from the Australian
prime minister to Prime Minister Bald
win OF England and then greetings to
DR.. w. H. Eccles, president of the
Radio Society of Great Britain.
DR.. Eccles' reply was transmitted
by Simmonds from the British sta
ton and the early morning conversa
tions brought to close, as Simmonds
said, Ito permit a shave before going
10 business
This epochal conversation began a,
5:52 am, Greenwich time, and con
tinued until 7:15 am, GMT, thus
finishing the test when it was broad
daylight at both stations.

or the things that was to help. 1t
led us to the conclusion that we had
better switch in the big outside aerial
ana attempt to get both stations as
clearly as possible first, even if they
contlicted. Little by little, therefore
we were reaching a point where any
cutting out of WGAS would have to
be matter of tuning
Maybe / ought to have one of
those wave traps" Smith said II
understand they're pretty good for
cutting out the noise from spark
transmitters and the high powered
stations"
A Wave Trap Useless.
yes. but WGAS isn't a local sta
ton and If you trap it's wave you
will trap WHIT as WE'LL" | replied
You ought to have a wave trap, to
be sure, but it isn't needed tonight
think this job is going to be head
work more than anything else
Smith became deeply absorbed in
the job as the time for the speeches
drew near and as l switched off the
charger, but he grew a little uneasy
when l tuned in on WGAS so sharply
that one scarcely could hear WHIT's
preliminary program.
Wen just hold WGAS until this
| selection is finished" I explained.
Then they'll announce, and while
the orchestra is getting ready for
the next number there1l be a quiet
moment in which we can tune
sharply for WHIT"
To his surprise the plan succeeded
so well that when WGAS came on
again the two stations had changed
places 50 far as clarity goes While
both stations were supposed to be on
the same wave length, there must
have been slight variation. If set
Is selective enough the finest of
variations can be detected provided
one of the stations is not a local.
1t didn't take Smith long to start
| splitting the stations as he had
previously learned to do in situations
like this, but he added the feature of
| plugging in the ear phones tempo
| rarily so as to be able to detect the
values Of the changes he made. Soon
| he had WHIT so that he could hear
what was being said and fading on
the part of WGAS helped materially.
| In other words, Smith was actually
| capitaliZing the shortcomings of radio
| transmission for his own benefit.
That's headwork in radio reception.

No. 17-Cutting Out Stations.

A light in the garage the other eve
ming was evidence enough that some
thing was wrong with the radio. 1t
was obvious Smith couldn't get what
he wanted over the air.
II want to hear those speeches as
much as anybody" Smith admitted
when l stepped into the garage and
told him that he was missing treat.
But how am I going to hear WHIT
while WGAS is on the very same
wave length?"
THAT ought to be easy enough to
solve" 1 suggested. What do you
think you've got a radio set for?"
Smith put the bottle of body polish
| back on the shelf and switched off the
| light It was plain that he was going
to take me up on the proposition. 50
| / went ahead of him into the house
and switched on the battery charger
before he entered the living room.
''The real thing won't come on for
an hour or So" l explained. while
we're putting our heads together on
| this proposition II might be a good
| idea to give the storage battery just
| two more amperes. Every little bit
| helps when you're cutting out sta
| tions."
THAT doesn't sound logical to me. ("
| Smith argued. The louder l get
WHIT the more WGAS will drown it
| out"
Yes. but if your batteries are low"
I answered, you may get WGAS and
nothing else. l should prefer to have
them both reasonably loud, because
| then we can try using the loop aerial
| for directional effect and experiment
a little with other things 1 have in
mind"
This gave him a new picture of the
thing and at once suggested the ad-
rvt. ~ yvNt@ Nn
spare set of "B' batteries. which he
| always has on hand for getting dis
| tant or difficult stations. The only
! reason he hadn't made this move
earlier was because he felt it would
be useless, since the station he didn t
| want would come in just that much
| louder.
Smith displayed a little radio skill
| by not trying to hook up one good
''B' battery with one of the rundown
ones. He just wired in the good set
| and set aside the old. Reception is
noisy when old batteries are connected
with new, and that sort Of inefficiency
| isn't at all necessary. When Smith is
| just listening in on a local station he
can easily use up the old batteries by
substituting them for the good ones
| for the time being.
The next step was to find out the
position of the interfering stations
and their mileage from the Smith
set. This developed the fact that the
stations were directly opposite to each
other. which meant that, assuming
that the loop aerial would pick them
| up, changing the direction ip which
the loop pointed would not have
altered the conditions.
This looked like the last straw, but,
as matter of fact, it was just one
