Be Careful in Constructing Your
Aerial-Part Ill.

If you are interested in getting dis
tant stations after the locals nave
signed off for the night. but are also
interested in getting locals without
bothersome interference while they
are transmitting your best bet is to
use two aerials. A short aerial of not
more than % to so feet in length will
give excellent results for all local sta
tions. while the longer aerial of about
125 feet will give you all that can be
desired in the way of distance recep-
ton.
No matter what type of aerial you
use. the greater the distance from the
roof and surrounding objects the bet
ter will be the results attained. This
does not mean that 1t is necessary to
use masts 80 or more feet in height. A
good, substantial mast can be had by
getting a strip Of 2-inch by 2-inch
lumber about Is to 18 feet in length.
Practically any lumber yard can sup
ply you with such strips for about
dollar.
Spring or Tension Used.
II you use a high mast-that is, one
over 15 feet in height-it will pay you
to get a spring or tension device to
fasten at the far end supporting mast.
This will not only take up any slack
in the wire, but it will also permit
certain amount of swaying of the mast
in heavy winds without causing the
wire to break. If you use trees as sup
ports some sort Of tension device
either of the spring type or Of the
pulley and weight type Is absolutely
necessary.
At the lead-ifl end be sure that the
wires as it comes over the roof for the
drop to the lead-in window is clear of
the roof and from all other objects in
it's path The farther your wire is
from all surrounding objects the bet
ter results you will get. An aerial
wire should never be passed through
the branches of a tree, because the
leakage in such cases is considerable.
Use Lead-in Insulator.
The lead-in should be anchored out
side of the window before it is passed
into the house through the lead-in in
sulator Anchoring 1t in that way
Just outside the window will prevent
the constant friction with the edge of
the lead-in tube and will eliminate the
usual result of a broken lead-in wire.
1t will also eliminate the troublesome
and annoying noise which is always
present when lead-in wires are al
lowed to sway back and forth.
Whenever possible locate the set In
the room so that it is close to the
point where the lead-in wire is brought
in. This will eliminate the necessity
for running the lead-in wire for great
distances along the wall and will cut
down the losses. If it is necessary to
carry the wire some distance to the
set use rubber-covered wire from the
lead-in to the set and be sure to solder
the connection of the two wires.
A good aerial with poor lead-in is
