Clamor for Increased Power.

Some rganiZatlonS and even COM
munities are clamoring for increased
power for their broadcasting stations.
They wonder why increases are not
granted by the Department of Com
merce The answer is that most sta
tions are located in cities or are
sharing wave lengths with other sta
tions with which they would inter
fere seriously if more power was
granted. Some stations not In con-
geSted centerS. and separated by great
distances from tranSmitterS sharing
their channel, may increase their
power without creating undue inter
ference. but authority for higher
power is always governed by whether
or not additional interference would
be created, Chief Radio Supervisor
Terrell points out.
If every station rated at 200 watts
or more doubled its power, inter
ference would be tremendously in
creased due to the extension of ranges
and consequent overlapping of the
radiated waves. Interference is bad
enough as it Is, this department expert
says. so only out-of-toWn stations en-
joying exclusive wave lengths or those
sharing channels with distant stations
may logically be permitted to increase
their wattage.
1t is also difficult to arrange for the
use of a wave channel by two or more
stations. on account of the demand for

where few, If any, commercial radio
facilities exist, the residents relying
upon the naval and Army radio sys-
TENS. South American interests are
also reported anxious to tie in on a
radIo-phone communicating system.
The fact that the Seattle station
communicates daily with a station in
Manila is said to establish the feast
bility of very long distance work.
Eventually, Mr.. Lesser thinks, long
distance telephone lines will disappear
in favor of radio telegraph and tele-
/ phone systems. Within the limits of
cities and towns wires will be retained
as radio systems would not work we'll:
the great number of stations and re-
ceivers required would clutter up the
air, creating undue interference
Although some governmental radio
experts doubt the advisabiIity of es-
tabliShing a system of this sort, they
are not disposed to hinder any form of
radio development, pointing out that
they have channels available for sta
tions of this type when formal applica-

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

recent inquiries made at the De-
partment of Commerce relative to a
pubic transcontinental radio tele-
phone system to compete with the line
telephone circuits met with approval
In general, although officials doubt the
pracucability OF such a system, utiliZ-
Ing present apparatus.
The inquiry came from Z. J. Lesser
OF the Simpson Radio Corporation of
Seattle, who claims that with new
apparatus he can send radio telephone
messages half way across the CONT
nent on short waves with very low
power. Compared with the operative
costs of line and long-Wave radio cir
cuts, the proposed system could han
ole messages at greatly reduced rates,
he pointed out. Reduced station and
construction costs, along with low
maintenance costs, would aid in guar
anteeinS the public reasonable rates,
besides which, Mr.. Lesser believes
year-round service could be guaran-
teed without Interruptions encounter
ed in wire Sys' ems.
Channels in the ether are already
reserved by the department for public
radio ophone service in the Short-wave
band, but today no such service exists
and no applications are on file for the
use of these channels. A similar prof.
ect was once in operation in California
between Catalina Island and Los An
geleS, carrying over water for dis
tance of about 25 miles. In its early
days all radio phone messages were
broadcast and proved far from pri-
vate, being audible to all who hap
pened to listen in on the wave used.
Later developments, however, elimi-
mated this by "scrambling" the mes
sages so that only those possessing
special receivers could 'unScramble'
them. There are now in existence
several private short-wave point-to-
point radio-phone stations, but the
services are claimed unreliable due to
the vagaries of the short waves. I'M
provements are being made constant
ly, and eventual perfection is antici-
pated.

quencieS alike. 1t is a truiSm that
audio amplification is no better than
its transformers
1T isn't merely a question of trans
former design and sliillful' use of trans
former ratios. but of the placing of
these transformers in the set. If you
recall, Smith, jr., had trouble with
his little set because he placed the
transformers so close together that
magnetic action was created. He had
to place shield between them. OF
course, he could have placed them a
little farther apart, or inches
space between them being enough to
stop the magnetic interplay.
Even the lead from the secondary
of the first transformer to the grid
of the second tube is a distortion pro-
ducer. If it is too long or too near
the other wires it will cause a howl.
Possible to Reduce.
by means of a little blasting it is
possible TO lessen the distortion tend
ency of the set. This is done by bias.
ing the grid of the second amplifier
tube, either with a 'C' or grid bat
terry or with a potentiometer. You
remember that Il &C. battery is used
for grid biasing when the plate. or
b current. voltage is high, while
pot1entlometer, which is sort of
rheostat, can be substituted when the
plate voltage is not so high
'Biasing is used in this connection
to prevent the grid from becoming
paralyzed. You can see that if 1t is
allowed to become too positive it stops
the action of the tube. However, this
biasing, while necessary with three
stages Of amplitication in which a
power tube is used as the third tube,
may not be called for with two stages
of amplification if they are well, de-
signed. At least blasting would be
required only on the second stage"
All the while 1 talked Smith had
appeared to have something else on
his mind. Finally I asked him what
it was
Resistance coupling" he said.
There's something 1 don't under

it's too complicated?"

His clearing" process was even
more surprising. With the rheostat

words, he was detuning. The result
was dtsagreeable racket without
any rhyme or reason.

Hooper, since he was the first to

In the early days of radio in the
Navy, few officers knew anything
about it; that is. the operation Of
transmitters and the methods of ac-
tual communication. They could not
read code, and, therefore. never knew
exactly how the enlisted operators
were handling the messages. Know
ing code was Greek" to the officers
the operators carried on as they
chose, sending and receiving lot of
unofficial communications, some Of
which were not complimentary to
their superiors.
When Hooper was a boy he was
interested in radio. and before the
entered the academy he had learned
the code. So when he took over the
job Of radio officer he was able to
listen in and see how the fleet com
munications We're being handled His
ability to read code enabled him to
censor messages and reprimand the
operators who did not stick to the
text Of their messages. Those who
did not accept his orders in good
grace soon found themselves trans
ferred to dreary duty in out-of-the-
way radio stations.
