RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

power from the house lighting circuit
there is going to be voltage variation.
This is not so noticeable in the fila
ment circuit of the set, since this is
reduced to six volts, but it has a
marked effect on the plate circuit as
we'll as on the blasting. The result
is that unless line variation is cared
for the set. on many occasions, will
vary both in efficiency and in tone.
An operator can regulate the set,
and particularly the el.mnators, to
take care of this to some extent. But
he cannot forecast line variations. and
thus finds that he has to stand for a
little faulty reception before appre'
ciating that he has a job to attend
to.
Usually he is limited in the &C" cur
rent control. for most persons use CO.
batteries Of fixed voltage even where
they are using elin1inators. In other
words, it is not convenient to in
crease or decrease "C' voltage to
meet these line variations.
In the newer sets which utilize di-
rect or indirect AC current. ballast
devices are provided to keep the
voltage balanced. One of the most
successful plans is to lay out the set
on a basis of the minimum voltage
provided at the lowest ebb of the line
current. When the line exceeds this
minimum it is a simple matter to ar
range for automatic waste or diver
sion of the excess.

channels between 200 and $50 meters.
British delegates have backed this
proposal, and have suggested the ad-
dition Of six more channels lower
down in the spectrum. The question
of limiting power, 1t was generally
agreed, should be left to the respec-
tive countries as the best means of
obviating interference with their mill
tary and civil radio services. The re-
striction that amateurs be limited to
10-watts power suggested at one ses-
sion has been withdrawn in view of
the agreement that the limiting of
amateur power should be left to each
government. During the discussions
as to the short-wave channels desir-
able to amateur operation the follow
ing were mentioned: 6.22, 1866. 2733,
1886, S2.0 and 104.33 meters, but no
definite recommendation was made.
Under the terms of the ALLEGATION
agreement reached here in 1925, the
amateurs may also experiment ex-
clusively on 21.4 to 1877 meters, 5.35
to 4.69 meters and even on the frac-
tonal waves of 0.7496 to 0.7417
meters. With Army portable stations,
naval aircraft and naval vessels COM
municating with aircraft, they are
sharing S5.7 to $50 meters. and with
Army portables alone they share
42.8 to 375 meters.

SENSITIVITY IN SETS
INCREASES SELECTIvITY
Demonstration of DIX Ability of
Newer Receivers Shows Distance
Can Be Picked Out.

Radioists do not usually think of
sensitivity as having anything to do
with selectivity. and yet where the
former exists the latter usually is
raised to high degree.
This clearly is demonstrated in the
newer sets, which are capable to
reaching out for DIX while at the
same time sacrificing nothing by way
of quality. Suppose, for instance,
that one is able to pick a station at
considerable distance and bring it in
with volume. Suppose that at the
same time another station interfered.
Under such circumstances it is possi-
bic to cut out the more distant station
by eliminating d stage of amplifica-
ton or by otherwise reducing the
power and amplification.
Without the DIX ability of the set
its sensitivitY-there would be no
possibility of ever getting the more
distant station. The more stations a
set can bring in the more selective it
is SO far as actual results go, even
though this isn't any test of the set IS
ability to split interfering stations.

BAGDAD LACKS RADIO.
Not More Than 1S Receiving Sets
Are in Use There.

Radio, at least broadcasting, has not
yet taken hold in Bagdad, Iraq, the
city of the famous carpet, according
to John Randolph, American consul,
who reports that there are not more
than IS radio receiving sets in use
there and that the owners of these few
sets never get good results.
Whether this is due to interference
from Syrian and other stations, the
unsuitab!lity Of the receiving sets used
or a lack of knowledge on the part
of the operators is not known. To in
terest natives of Iraq. it is believed
that especially designed receivers,
easily operated, will have to be intro
duced. Before receivers are set up
formal applications must be made to
the director general Of posts and tele-
graphs.

IncOgnitO i'm Paris.

In Partisan broadcasting. it is not
the custom to announce the names of
the artists furnishing the entertain
ment and, obviously. the announcer
himself remains In the background.
Just why this should be is difficult to
understand, for France has it's idols
and the personality Of it's stage and
concert artists carries the same
weight as that of comparable artists
does with us.
Can it be that Partisan artists are
not convinced of the value of ethereal
appearances? If this is the reason.
or any part of it, there are many in
this country who feel the same way
about it. Tempting prices for radio
work, however. are changing the pic
ture considerably.

RECEIVER DEVELOPED.
Condenser Coupling Utilized in
New Radio Circuit Device.

A receiver has been developed util-
izing condenser coupling" between
radio frequency stages. There is,
however, inductive tuning. 1t Is
viewed as one of the genuinely new
ideas in circuit.
Condenser coupling is, in reality.
electrostatic. This increases coup
ling to three broad kinds: Inductance
coupling (Which is transformer coup
ling). resistance coupling and the
new condenser type.

Crime Wave Recommended.

The necessity of a special radio
wave for use in the international de-
lection and apprehension of crini-
nails was stressed in recent proposal
by the German delegation to the
Radiotelegraph Conference at Wash
ington.
The Germans declared that a meet
ing of the international commission
OF police at Amsterdam, last July,
recommended the necessity Of estab-
fishing an international service via
radio for disseminating as rapidly as
possible all news and information re-
garding the movements of criminals.
To effect such a worldwide service, 1t
was pointed out, 1t would be necessary

SMALL SETS IN SWEDEN.
Used for Excellent Local Programs
Available Every Night.

There is at least one country where
small radio receiving sets are in vogue
and that is Sweden, where excellent
local programs are available every
night in almost all the main centers.
This is contrary to the situation in
many countries where only high.
powered or multitude sets prove ade-
quate or desira BILE. That is the case
usually where only distant stations of
fer good programs.
There are reported to be at least
eight good stations in Sweden, all of
1000 to 5000 watts in power and oper-
ating on the band reaching from 299
to 1865 meters. a little wider than the
American band, with many less sta
tions, however. wide separat ton is pos
sible between the channels utilized.

With the approach Of November ].
the effective date of the 60.day IL
cense renewals to the broadcasting
stations issued by the Federal RADIO
Commission. about 100 stations will
be obliged to alter the conditions un-
der which they have been operating.
Some have been shifted to other
waves. mainly to share time; others
have had their powers changed.
These changes are expected by the
commission to clear up much Of the
remaining heterodyning. The COM
mission has made plain it's policy to
clear certain channels for the stations
having the highest progress merit, but
requiring less important and desir-
able stations to divide time. Where
divisions of time are amicably ar
ranged, the commission permits the
allotment Of hours to be voluntary.
otherwise. 1t specifies the hours on
which the stations sharing wave
may broadcast.
Such interference as continues viii
be cleared where possible, but the
procedure recommended by the COM
mission is that the station or stations
believed to be setting up the inter-
ference be cited before the commits
sion at a public hearing by COM
plainant station. Thus far, no hear
ings of this kind have been held, al
though the commissions order on
this subject has been in effect several

Meeting Line Variation.

Now that direct and indirect AC
operation Of receivers has become an
established fact, 1t is well for the radio
owner to settle the point about line
variation. There has been much mis-
understanding regarding electric
socket operation, but it easily can be
clarified.
The fact of the matter Is that
while house lighting current is sup
posed to be ITO volts, in most cities
II varies from 105 to 125. This de.
pends upon the efficiency of the cen.
trail power station and load con-
ditions.
This much Is. simple enough. 1t

10000 AMATEURS
AWAIT CHANNELS
RadioteIegraph Conference
Recognizes Their Work
in World Field.

Though recognition in principle is
assured them in the writing of the
new international radio treaty, the
90 900 amateur radio operators in the
United States are anXiouSly awaiting
the assignment of wave channels to
them by the international Radiotele
graph Conference. Throughout the
world there are perhaps 25, 900 oper-
ators, all of whom will be vitality af-
fected by these ALLEGATIONS.
On every hand during the delibera-
tions over the status of the amateurs
it was agreed that they have contrib.
uted valuable knowledge to radio in
their work on short wave and that
they often render great service In re-
laying messages from far corners of
the earth or from distressed regions
where other communications are i'm.
possible. An example of the latter case
was the broadcaSting of messages
from the beleaguered Mississippi flood
region when fires first went down.
Exclusive Channels Opposed.
But opposition to the granting of
exclusive world wide channels to the
amateurs for carrying on their ex-
periments has developed among Ger.
tain foreign delegates. They want
most Of the channels to be allocated
in the treaty kept free for their re-
spective military or civil uses. In
most countries the latter function of
radio, carried on by private enterprise
! in the United States, is a government
monopoly.
On hand to defend the rights of
American amateurs are Charles Fl.
Stewart, vice president of the Ameri-
can Radio Relay League; X. B. War
ner. secretary of the American Radio
Relay League and secretary of the
International American Radio Union,
and Ross A. Hull of the Wireless Insti.
tute of Australia, the amateur organi-
zation of that country. Standing back
of them are delegates from most of
the leading countries represented at
the conference. so that the assign.
ment of favorable channels is fairly

world. Canada New Zealand, Ireland
and Australia seem disposed to back
up the amateurs of this country.
