QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


&C. L. N. says: Il have had :
small home made crystal set for tn,
past two years and am now going tc
blow myself to a vacuum tube. What
| would like to know is-would it be
better to use the tube in a set by it.
self or would It be better to add it to
the crystal set? If the latter, should
the tube be used to amplify before
the crystal detector or after?"
Ans.-My preference would be to
use the tube along with the crystal
set The manner in which to use it de-
oends upon what you wish to hear and
what your local conditions are. If Won
want signals as loud as possible, do
lot have much local interference and
10 not care for distance, it would be
'est to use the tube after the crystal
S an audio frequency amplifier. If.
oWever, you needed to have sharp
anlng or cared much for getting dis
ant stations. it would be better to
Sc the tube before the crystal as a
ado frequency amplifier. For maxi
lum loudness with fair selectivity the
lbe could be used both as a radio and
udlo amplifier in a reflex circuit.

They are scattered from the Univer-
sity of Rochester in New York to
Washington State in the West. Some
OF these stations have been maintain
ed ever since the inception of broad
casting.
It IS the purpose Of these stations
to extend to the regions in which
they are located the cultural and edu-
eational advantages which enter in
their respective institutions.
From the standpoint of service
these stations are operated soleIv
with an altruistic motive. They ex-
pect no monetary return from such
service, either direct or indirect. not
even goodwill. The advertising as
peet IS largely absent as most of them
have more students than they can
handle. But they are using
