LOCAL RADIO GOSSIP The first week of radiophone broad- ting by the Navy's powerful station NAA in Arlington, Va., has been a marked success in the opinion of offi- cials in charge of the station, who bage their belief on the numerous commenda tory letters recrived from the radio pub- Yic. Since NOF at Anacostia bid fare- well to its many thousands of friends in radio fandom on January 3, NAA has been transmitting the government lec- tures and Marine Band and Navy or- chestra concerts, which nightly reach radio fans in nearly half the states In the Union and also in Canada. i has been some criti- -ased wave length used by NAA by local wmateurs, Who have found it difficult to tune thelr sets to resonance for 710 meters, fully 80 per cent of the communications, according 1o the naval off in charge of the station, speak in high praise of the new Transmission wave bard. In a majority he cases, the letters point out. the ption Tesults huve been satisfac- tory. as explained th e 412 and 4 meter band ueed by NOF could not be fatisfactorily arranged at NAA because of the dificulties encountered from Other antenna systems at the station utilizing other waves. The 710-meter band was found to be the most feasible. Some radio amateurs whose sets were orlginally constructed for reception between 200 and 600 meters have found it necessary to increase the value of in- ductance of their sets in order to tune n on NAA. This was done by incorpo- rating more turns of wire in series with the _circuits of the receivers The Navy Department at present, 1"t said, does not contemplate any change NAA's wave length for tha radiophone broadeasting service Therefore th few amateurs who lave hee to tune in this sta- {ion. it seems, will have to increase the indnctanc ue of Vofore they wiil be able on the governm broades orehestra concerts Several of the letters reveived at th Navy Department complained of a atrange noise emanating from the hroadcasting station. Investigation disclosed that this is due to the size of the room in which the microphone is located. Plans are now Dbeing made to rectify this condition. to th unabl ir sets in Club Shows Increase. The evergrowing . popularity of radio has resulted in a large increase in membership of the Washington Radio Club, which now has on its rolls 115 wireless enthusiasts. . The purpose of the club, which is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League, with headquarters in Hartford, Conn., is to promote better yadio work in the District for pro- fessional and amateur operators. Sug- gestions and descriptive talks are made at each meeting, which is held the first and third Saturday evening of each month. The club has elected as president for the ensuing vear Wiltam A. Parks of the National Electric Com- pany. He succeeds I H. Lyon White & Bover Company. Oth ficers are: (. L. Bidwell, vice dent; 1. A. Snow, secretary-treas- urer: H. A, Wadsworth, assistant sec- { retary-treasurer, and B. S. Flather, chicf operator. “housands Listening Tn. Thousands of Washington's cifizen- ry have forsaken the “movies” the ance halls and other forms of enter- tainmer t to play with a queer-looking little machine, commonly known as the radio receiving set. . What is the atiraction of this de- vice, the marvel of its age, which keeps these radio fans in their homes at night with a tight-fitting pair of head phones clamped on their ears? it's what they pick out of the air by manipulating this little machine. But does the entertainment the radio re- ceiving sets provide recompense them for the hours spent each night listen- ing in on what tho ether waves are saying? Of course, those fortunate enough to possess an expensive so-called tube set have a wide variety of entertain- ment to select from. They can tune in on stations in_Pittsbiirgh, Troy, Chicago. Havana, Newark, New York, Schencctady and numerous other cities ang plck up virtually anything from grand opera to setting-up exer- cises. The radio fan with the less expen- sive crvstal, however, is forced to de- pend entirely on the nine or ten local broadcasting stations for his enter- tainment. The local stations keep the ether waves in constant oscillation throughout the day and often until 2s late as 11 o'clock at night with pro- grams of music, reports on stolen au- tomobiles, speeches and crop and mar- ket reports. Among them the listen- er-in cannot help but find something of interest to him. Take, for instance, the average amateur in possession of a erystal set. After dinner in the evening, when the noise of dishes rattling has sub-| sided, he puts on his head phones, places the cat's whisker on a sensi- tive spot on the galena and adjusts his tuning apparatus, and what does he hear Suppose 's about 7 o'clock and his tuning coil is set to resonance for 710 meters. In his head phones in an almost deafening voice will ring: “This fs NAA, naval radio station. Arlipgton, Va. Stand by just a min- ute, please, for a talk from the De- partment of Agriculturs on 1f it happens to be Wednesday or Friday night between 7 and 8 o'clock, thae listener-in can tune in on Station WEAS of the Hecht Company and vick up a radio vaudeville program, provided, of course, he adjusts his iuning coil to resonance for 360 meters. Every night in the week, including Sunday, the different broadcasting stations provide special programs. Monday night WPM of Thomas J. Willlams, Inc., tfansmits a concert program; Tucsday night WJH of the White & Bover Company “take the alr” for a concert program; Wednes- day night has been reserved for the United States Marine Band orches- tra concert at NAA; Thursday night for WMU of the Doubleday-Hill Electric Company; Friday night for the United States Navy orchestra at NAA: Saturday night for WIAY of Woodward & Lothrop, and Sunday night for the religious services at the Church of the Covenant and the Ver- mont Avenue Christian Church. Besides these stations several others have regular hours during the day in which they broadcast programs of music, keeping the ether waves above Washington in almost continuous turmofl from early morning until late at night. Sends In Suggestions. ¥, F. Ramsay, jr. 1052 Quebec place, has sent tha following sug- gestions to the Washington Radio Broadcasters' Association for im- provement of the local broadcasting service: “Cut out all phonograph music ex- cept for tuning in, and secure only the best talent, even cutting down the number of concerts, if necessary, on account of expense. “Broadcast bedtime stories or the| Peter Rabbit stories by David Corey | lof | wires, of the New York Evening Mail at time prior to bedtime of children— say 7 p.am. or up to 8 p.m. At present time Washington children have very little on the radio to interest them. “Institute travel talks of foreign countries, their people, their habits and differences in mode of living by some competent traveler. Possibly the various embassies and legations would be glad of this method of speaking of their countries. Minis ters who have traveled would also contribute their experiences, I am sure. “Suggest steps be taken to secure a slight difference in the wave length of several churches in Washington now broadeasting—if same cannot be done legally—secure permission to slightly diverge from the wave length, even if only fifty meters, which will allow most stations to tune in or out. Also request the pastor of a certaln church to refrain from further discussion on the radio the difliculty in confiicting wave lengths of the other church “Last, but not least, If practicable, broadcast the excellent concerts given in the Central High School on Sun- day evenings on a wave length dif- ferent from the local church wave length—possibly on, say, around 710 meters, if permission can be secured, since there Is no government broad- cast on that wave length on Sunday night. “Possibly some after-dinner speeches at the City Club or speeches at other business men's gatherings might be availuble for broadcasting.” Library Radio Set.

HOOPER, [. 8. N (Copyright, 1923.) Contrary to the popular conception. it is not necessary to utilize extremely long ether or radio waves to communi- cate over long distances. Under certain conditions a 200-meter wave produced by a station of one-kilo- watt power will compete in long-dis- tance effectiveness with a 10,000-meter wave produced by a high-power station of 100-kilowatt power. Such are the unexplainable vagaries which frequently occur in radio com- munication. Phenomeral radio, especially usually ~ obtained months and nightfall. Yet results which can only be char- acterized as remarkable are often ob- tained during the daylight hours and these results cannot always be ascribed to freakish atmospheric or other freak- ish conditions. That, in a measure at least, can be ascribed to the ingenuity of American radio amateurs is clearly evi- dent from experiments recently made by !_hs Navy radio.

Amateur Station Signals. Among the amateur stations whose code signals were readily copied during the daylight hours at Pearl Harbor and Wwhose radio telephone conversations were clearly distinguishable were the following: 7SC, Seattle, Wash.; 6PI, Sun Franclsco Calif ; GECR, San Fran: cisco, Calif.; 6CU, Alameda, Calif,, = GAK Los Angeles, Calif. & = Very ehort waves, of about 200 meters in length, were utilized by these amateur stations and it is doubtful if the electric current flow- ing in the antenna circuits exceeded ten amperes on the average Yet thesc juvenile waves were of- fective in the area over the Hawaiian Islands after having traveled across the Pacific ocean coincidentally with the mammoth waves of from 10,000 meters to nearly 20,000 meters in length which are almost constantly | being given off by high power sta- tions of the Navy and Radio Corpor- ation of America situated at San | Diego and San Francisco, these sta- | tions delivering from 100 to 400 am- peres of current into their antenna | systems.

RADIO NEWS George Schultze, a youthful radio amateur, came to The Star office y terday to register his personal pro- test against the adoption by the local broadcasting station of the silent night proposal. The boy, who lives at 1209 Otis place, said he favored the operation of the local stations every night until 9:30 o'clock, point- ing out that Fillmore White, 1114] Spring road, held the same view. | Capt.

The signals from fourteen amateur statlons situated within the state of New York alone were pleked up. Those from the station 3CO, situated somewhere within the state of New York, were exceptionally loud at Pearl Harbor, the signals from this station coming in with great dis- tinctness at widely different times during these two nights. The shortest air line distance be- tween New York state and the Island of Oushu, on which Pearl Harbor is situated, is_in excess of 5000 miles. Therefore this performance establish- es a new world record for long dis- tance, low power, short wave recep- tion, even at night. 3 Test signals given off by the Naval radio laboratory station at Anacosta (NOF) on a-wave length of 412 meters during the evening of October 28 were readily copied by the Pearl Har- { bor station from 8:15 to 8:30 o'clock local harbor time. The Pearl Harbor station employed a receiver equipped with a vacuum tube dctector and two stages of audio frequency amplifi- cation only. These results were obtained during the autumn and before the advent of the winter months and are all the more remarkable on this account be- cause all radio waves are more ef- fective at great distances from their source during the winter months than at any other season of the year.

No small part in the development of the radio art to its existing staxe of perfection is due either directly or indirectly to the American radio ama- teur. The remarkable results obtained at Pearl Harbor ill merve to exemplify the gradual forward march in the development of the radlo art in the United States, and the attending im- provement to the radlo service in general, The Hawalian Islands constitute one of the favored areas of the world for effective radio reception. Static rare- 1y prevails in this area, even during the summer months when its effects gometimes almost paralyzes commu- nications by radio within the United States and elsewhere, These Islands are also ideally situated for both ra- dio reception and transmission, situ- ated as they are approximately in the center of the Pacific ocean, with the broad expanses of water in all directions over which the radio waves pass with comparatively little loss of energy. However, when amateur radio trans- mitting stations, situated all over the United States and in Canada, utilizing very low power and short wave lengths, can bo readily picked up in this far-off region, even under the most favorable conditions, it presages future intercommunication by ama- teurs between all the civilized coun- ries of the world mselves to > , but rudio” te oo, has about the r radio world able capacity between the windings and is therefore unsuitable for radio work in which the capacity of the coile must be kept as low as possible arious means have been used to re- this capacity, such as special forms of winding and methods of saparating the different windings from each other. In the design f electrical appa- ratus, and particularly radio appa- rutus, it is important to be able to leulate the inductions of the va- rious types of multilayer coils. srmulac for the inductance of sim- ple t¥pes of multilayer coils have been derived by a number of sci- entists, and it has been found that for the special types of low-capaeity windings employed in radio work the ame formulae apply as for a simple circular _coil of rectangular cross ection, provided that an appropriate correction is made for the space oc- cupied by the insulation. These formulae, however. are complicated and for any given case the necessary computation ~ is tedious. - Further- more, there are several different ormulac _each one suited to some articular type of coil, so that the y find it difficult to select the formula best suited to his particu- lar problem.
