Cut little notches in the ends of the arms or the strips to hold the wires im position and wind on from four to fix turns of No. 16 or 18 copper of phospher bronze wire, spacing the turns about one and one-half inches apart. Then, be- fore permanently fastening the wire or cutting it off. test the set. If you cannot ‘tune down from the long wave lengths received so as to get the music from broadcasting stations, take off one or two turns of wire, or if you find the waves brought in are too shoft, add a few turns. By hav- ing two or more loops of different sizes you can arrange to switch your set to the smaller one when ~you wish to get the broadcasting stations or to the larger one for long waves with dot and dash messages.
