"ito %un‘clion on Short Waves Underway: - By C. E. BUTTERFIELD NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The ever alert television fan is begining to turn his attention toward réceivers that - will function on the ultra short waves. | He has heard enough about the Ilprmiclbmty of picture transmis- sion on. the channels around six meters to persuade him to try his {hand: @t designing a receiver to function there. sw-mun Good ‘While very little data are availa- |able as to the best type of circuit for the ultra waves, word has come {that the super-regenerative has proven itself the most satisfactory. Tuned radio frequency is almost out of the question, while the super- hetrodyne is not nearly as relia- ble there as it is on the higher waves. Due to the increasing number of ifrequency bands available per me-~ ter as the wavelength goes down, it is necessary only to design the receiver to function on a meter or two to get good coverage. One method of tuning found practical uses the series layout, with the variable condenser acting not lonly as the wave adjuster, but as ithe feedback control as well. Experimenters have tackled the low wave super-regenerator with the idea that all is needed is the detector tube and the oscillator in addition to the audio amplifier, ‘This amplifier should be of the conventional resistance coupled type to obtain passage of the wide frequency bands required for tele- vision. _Fills Little Space Becauise 80 little room is needed 'for tofls and condensers it is pos- sible to ¢rowd the netessary ap- paratus in little space.

She sank a field goal immediately afterwards, putting the Douglas team in the lead by one point. Juneau called a timeout to |aiscuss the situation. The confer- |ence must have inspired Fern Gubster of the Juneau team, be- cause after it she scored 5 points ifor her squad. One of them was from a free throw, and the other four from two field goals which netted her two points each. The last field goal of the two that she made dropped through the hoop just as the gun sounded. The half ended with the score 11 to 8 in Juneau's favor.
