Through The phones it is much cas-.
Ter to distinguish between set noise
and stations. And this can be done
with the tubes using far less current.
OFTEN you can do it with one or two
Of the audio amplifiers cut out.
The beauty of this plan is that if
you do get the distant station desired,
you will find better reception through
the earphones and Will stay with them
rather than plug in the loud speaker.
This means you will save the custom
airy current drain to operate the am
plifiers and loud speaker, thus compen-
sating for the extra current used at
the detector and the radio frequency
amplillcation stages.
II often have taken distant ether
trips with the earphones, only TO dis
cover that the station cannot be
brought in strong enough to hear, even
taking the output of the second stage
of audio for the phones. That means
the loud speaker cannot be depended
upon to improve the situation. l give
up the long distance trip without in
tiicting any further punishment on

No. 69-Exceeding the DIX Limit.

one rule in radio reception seems TO
escape the attention of most fans
That is the fact that it costs money
to get distance.
One twists the dial under the inn
preston that ii costs no more to get
one station than another He likes
TO search for Ok, but does not realize
that this IS more expensive pastime
than being satisfied with what is near
at hand.
Smith is beginning to note these
matters because he has started keep
ing tab on expenses Speed in the op.
GRAFTON OF his car he long ago dis
covered to be expensive. Everything
about his car wore out more quickly.
Gas, oil and rubber We're consumed
quicker. In radio operation he has
found that distance is the great
WaSter.
We were discussing this the other
night while Smith was trying for "a
station usually beyond the reach of
bis set. lie was startled to note how
far UP he had the rheostats turned.
If | used that much Juice on a
local station" he said tine noise
would drown you out of the house and
Ia be putting in an order for new
batteries. ! never realized it took so
much current to travel SO far through
the ether"
1t takes n big output for station
~ make long ether jumps, ana if the
station isn't powerful YOU have to
make biz sacrifices in order to meet
it half way | replied you can't
travel for nothing nowadays
even through the ether"
''of course. if l get results from
distance seeking. | can save the bat
teries by not running the set so long
on locals" Smith suggested. "Econo-
my dosen't have to be stinting. /
think Il radio fan ought to use a little
common sense about such matters
That is good reasoning" l agreed,
but why confAle your economy to
a consideration Of the batteries? Think
of the electrOns you are wasting
getting distance"
Evening star., 1926-06-20
ElectrOns Puzzle Smith.

"Electrons?" Smith asked, puzzled
when you burn the tubes brightly
YOU are shooting an excess of electrons
from the heated filament OF each
tube" | explained. The tubes are
limited in the number Of electrons
they can give off. OF course. YOU can
have a new batch 'boied out to the
surface of the filament if you want to
put the tube through "A regeneration
process. but that costs money. too.
You may have 10 purchase a tube
reJuVenatOr. At least YOU will have
10 use current To run the tubes with
the tilamentS at an excess voltage in
order TO generate the new supply of
eiectrons. And whenever current Is
used YOU are using money. no matter
how crude or simpli1ied your method
may be
That was indeed news 10 Smith.
So often when trying for distance
so much local noise is generated he
would not be able to tell whether ne
even wac making headWay. The noise
from the loud speaker may sound like
a station, but may be simply an over
worked tube.
IF you want TO try for distance
once in while, or there is something
special YOU would like to hear. the
proper way to do it is TO use the ear
phones for testing" l suggested.

Don't overdo the idea of giving up

prove a benefit now and again. A
friend Of mine had always been too
satisfied with locals until he tried TO
