A sWort ~ntenna has the advantage ages he can reply with | shorter antenna permits sharper (uning, le., the shori antenna permits the operator to select the desired sta- tion more readily than a lonsz one would. For this reason, owfers of short antenna often get results su- perior to those obtained on a long antenna. For the reception of broad- casting stations operating below 360 meters a shorter ntenna than was formerly used {s necessary. It would be a very good idea to keep the total length of the antenna—this includes lead-in and ground lead—under -100 feet, s0 that amateur g'gnals from Americrn Radlo Relay League st tions may be received as well as am teur code. For best results the an- tenna should not exceed 120 feet for Lroadenst reception, or eighty feet for amateur reception. Anparently the height of the aerial makes little difference to most radio | fans. A very hirh one will be able to pick up more radio frequency enerey {than a low one: however, the high aeri~1, besides being =ble to pick up fainter sienals. nlso collects more static, which may serlously interfere with reception. 0 th-t too high an antenna 1s to be avoided. It is the effective height of an antenna that counts: not lways the height above ground, but ten feet bove a ground- ed tin roof. would have an effective height of ten feet. not fifty feet. The antenna wires should be kept as far away ‘rom the aerial supports a« noss'ble. The antenna Insulators carried on by |over a long antenna, inasmuch as the ould be of a good grade and should be so designed so that they do not |ubsorb water, and have low capacity | between their terminals. Glazed por- celain Insulators are the best with senuine Electrose second. Avoid purchasing_porous or unglazed por- | celain or cheap Imitation composition insulators, Keep the antenna insu- lators clean and preferably replace them every year; they don't work so well when dirt gets an inch thick on | | them. The long, thin-shaped insulat- | | ors are better than short, thick ones, | | as the capeuity fs much 'lower. See| jthat the lean-in enters the house | through a good porcelain tube and | that it does not touch the house oth- | | er than at insulated points. The antenna should be a sire con- ductor of large area and should be selected with care. Flat copper rib- bon, copper stranded cable and large- <ize copper wires are all good. Don't use iron wire that has a mere film oi copper plating on it. Copper- plated iron wire is used much, but in view of the fact thit copper wire is 8o cheap, it would be advisable to use Nos. 12 or 14 copper wire throughout the entite antenna sys- tem. Insulation on the antenna wires is beneficial, inasmuch as It prevents corrosion to the wires and does not detract from the general efficiency of the acrial. Be sure to solder all joints in the antenna. A well designed antenna nd ground system contributes mate- 1y to successful reception !p!:m .
