would cause distortion the same as
would too small battery. Also a
large G battery would cut down the
B battery current to such low point
that the signals would be much weak
er.
&C.. F. M. says: 81 have one
high ratio and one low ratio amplify-
ing transformer. Which one should
be used in the first stage of an A. f.
amplifer?"
Ans.-It would probably be better
to use the high ratio transformer in
the first stage.
GA. A. V. says: 81 have con-
structed B battery eliminator using
a filamentless rectifier tube. l am
using two A MID. condensers and the
secondary of an simplifying tansform-
er in the filter circuit. This gives me
very good D. G. but the receiving set
does not give as much volume as it
used to. What can be the reason for
this 2"
Ans.-It is most likely that the D.
G. resistance of the winding that you
are using for your choke coil is so
high that it cuts your B voltage down
considerably. Try using choke wound
with heavier wire on a larger core.
Largere condensers in the filter circuit
will also increase the DC voltage a
little.

Dance Lovers Can
Get Jazz Special
ties From Denver

Jazz specialties, trick songs, blues,
foxtrot ballads and a liberal sprinkl-
ing of old fashioned waltz numbers
are now being given the ethereal right
of-way in a late dance program at
KOA every Wednesday evening, feat
uring Eber Grubb's Broadmoor Rhythm
Rustlers.
Taking part are six super-synco-
pators doubling up on fourteen in
struments which range from from
bones, comets, violins and saxaphones
to what is said to be one of the most
complete set of drum equipment in
the west.
"This includes a Chinese gong, a
set of disks, two tympani, pair of
tomtoms, complete set Of symbols
and base and snare drum" explained
Mr.. Grub, who, for the last five years
has managed number of vaudeville
and theatre orchestras in Chicago,
Cleveland and Indianapolis and other
large eastern centers.
Judging from the number of re-
quests received every week from
broadcast listeners, waltz music is
staging a decided comeback" he con-
tinued. Requests from dance lovers
are more frequent now than at any
time in the last two years."
The Wednesday program is broad
cast from the Broadmoor Country
club of Denver from 10 o'clock until
midnight.

~ III will NJ NAASN III Al
The action taken by the Radio Con-
ference called by Secretary Hoover the
latter part of 1925 has been warmly
approved, and manufacturers and CON
sumers are both beginning to reap the
benefits. Among the various resolu-
tions passed, the tow of prime import
ance were Cd that no further broad
casting stations would be licensed I'M
til existing stations go off of the air;
and (2) that the present broadcasting
band of from 200 to $50 meters would
remain unchanged.
Other resolutions adopted are:
|. 1t was recommended that
broadcasting stations should not be
used for direct sales efforts, but con-
tinue their activities to courtesy and
indirect advertising.
2. Power shall not be limited
where it does not interfere unduly
with other stations or with. reception
by the public.
3. Further time division by exist
ing stations is unnecessary and mad
visable, and the department of COM
merce was advised to decline to grant
broadcasting licenses until the pres
ent number has been materially re-
duced.
a. Stations using more than 500
watts power should have individual
wavelengths. Stations transmitting
with 500 watts power or less will be
duplicated in wavelength, provided
duplicating stations are separated
geographically by sufficient distance
to avoid beat notes or interference.
S. Rebroadcasting of programs
should be prohibited except with the
permission of the originating station.
s. In licensing or re-licensing sta
tions, the Department of Commerce
should use discrimination looking to-
wards locating such stations outside
of congested centers.
Listeners to Rule
2. The broadcasting privilege
shall be based on service to the listen
err. Public interest is to guide who is
to broadcast and how.
8.Any practice contemplating the
sale of wavelength is looked upon
with disfavor and considerable appre-
hension, and it is recommended that
all future propositions of this kind be
scrutinized most carefully by the De-
partment Of Commerce, SO as to elm
mate the possibility of specializing in
wavelengths.
8. Legislation is most necessary
In the next session Of congress. The
conference outlined the needed laws.
10. Classes A, B, and to exist no
longer. Quality of programs demand
ed from given station shall depend
upon the power and other require
ments of the department.
II. No broadcasting stations shall
be erected without permit for erec-
ton being obtained from the radio sec
ton of the Department Of Commerce.
IL. Broadcasting licenses to be is
sued for term of five years, with
preferential consideration to the re-
newal thereof, and annual license fees
to be collected on the basis Of ten
cents per raidated watt.
IA. Amateur code transmitters will
no longer be licensed to use spark
transmitters.
IA. Congress will be urged to ap-
propriate more and sufficient funds
for the administration Of radio.
Is. Education of the public thru
the radio and daily press and other
means, was recommended to stop the
misuse of many types of receivers
which reradiate and cause bothersome
interference.
