RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

teur radio stretched out until 1t was
able to carry on reliable communica-
ton across the continent and the
oceans, the need became apparent for
some organized group to foster this
spirit of radio friendship. a group of
league members, in almost nightly
communication with each other, formed
the charter membership and estab-
lished the rule that each other league
member who carried on a successful
half-hour or more conversation with
some member of the Rag Chewers'
Club might also become Il member
of the club.
So popular did the organization be-
come that In the few months of its
existence it has attained a total men,
bership Of over $500 and recommen-
dations for new members are arriving
daily at the league headquarters.
There are members in every State
In the United States and every prov.
ince In Canada. but tho membership
that gives the greatest kick" ac-
cording to club members, is that
which is gradually appearing in coun-
tries beyond the sea. Six countries
in Europe and Asia are already rep
resented. a we'll developed effort
is on foot in many other nations
where there are league members to
enlarge the foreign membership OF
the club" by carrying on trans
ocanic conversations.

any part in the radio boom, said: at
times l am amused at the discussions
as to who really invented wireless To
my mind wireless has existed from the
moment when prehistoric man first
understood the meaning of a smile Of
encouragement from the prehistoric

Later Sig. Marconi added that his
contribution was the discovery that

invitations TO the various governments
TO send representatives and men-of'

The Signal Corps of the United
EtAtes Army has taken steps to enlist
the interests, IL not the actual per-
sons, of about 5000 of the $4,000
amateur radio operators of the
country, who, through the activities
Of their organization, the American
Radio Relay League, already have a
national. network covering practically
the entire Nation.
The Signal Corps desires the aid of
these amateurs 80 as to secure ad-
dttional communication channels
throughout the continent which could
be used in national emergencies and
for the communication of the National
Guard, reserve and civil units of the
Army. 1t also IS held extremely de-
sirable TO have a reserve Of Young
operators trained as to the Army
method and system of operation, so
that in the event of war or when ex-
f.erfenced radio signal men are needed
they will be available.
Recently a close affiliation between
the Army Signal Corps and the anna
teurs was effected. The future activi-
ties of the league will be in close CO.
operation with the Signal Corps. Al
ready In each of the nine Army corps
areas an amateur radio net is being
organized, in addition to a divisional
net for each Of the organized reserve
divisions. Each State National Guard
VIII also organize a radio system in
cooperation with the amateurs resid-
ing therein. All these systems will be
connected into a Nationwide net
through a headquarters station at
s0rt Monmouth, y. j., formerly Camp
Alfred Vail, the signal school, The
control station will be 2CXL.
ANA teurs are asked to communicate
with the league If they desire to en-
roll In this new and practical auxiliary
radio service. Another method of get
ting in touch with the authorities is to
communicate with the corps signal
off1cer of your own area. These corps
headquarters are located in Boston,
New York, Baltimore. Atlanta, Colum-
Gus, Chicago, Omaha, San Antonio
and Preside. Calf. Stations joining
he net will be known as Army anna

operators being enlisted as special re-
