HARTFORD, Conn., February 11— The eclipse committee of the Amer- ican Radio Relay League yesterday completed its final analysis of the re- ports turned in by 150 amateur observ- ers relative to the effect of the eclipse on short waves ranging from 40 to 200 meters. The investigation was made In conjunction with the fading tests on broadcast waves arranged by the Seientific American. Fifty of the re- ports were sufficiently accurate to he used as a basis for study. These show very plainiy that on 80-meter band there was a de- srease in signal strength, beginning with or during totality, while on the 150-200smeter band there was an in- crease in slgnal strength during totality. This leads to the possi- bility, according to the committee, that the 150-200-meter band is best for night work, while the other band would probably prove more efficient in daylight. The observers were by no means unanimous in their reparts, and the conclusions are drawn on the work of the majority. Some of the ob- servers on the shorter wave band reported am increase in recelving strength immediately after totality, others placed five minutes after totality as the time of return to normal conditions. The majority on the same band reported considerable fading. One exception was In the case of a Canadian amateur trans- mitter, which three observers de- clared’ showed an increase during totality. There was a prominent lack of agy unusual phenomena, although many observers reported that at the time of totality there was sudden static, fry- ing nofses, mush or crackling sounds, all of which may have been due to the increased line voltage or power leaks. Several stated that a trans- mitting station faded out entirely and that one or more faded in on the same wave length. There were only two reports of re- ception of the d40-meter band, the tranemitter heard in both cases be- ing ICKP. All of these observations, the committee pointed out, are miti- wated by certain offsetting factors, including temperature and barometric differences.

R Rouzee. published in your column last Thursday, I wish to state that the sation he referred to as Elite University was undoubtedly WEBW, Beloit University, at Beloit, Wis. I heard this station early Sunday eve ning on a wave of approximate 278 meters.—J. F. MALONEY. Radio Editor: Last Wednesday night I tuned in a station in Raleigh, N. ", and heard {wo saxophone solos and a quartet, but could not understand the call let- ters nor the name of the broadcaster. neither could 1 find a station in Raleigh in my call book. Please give me the station’s call and wave. P would like to suggest to local fans that they writ¢ to the two big stations, WRC and WCAP, in an ef- fort to have them sign off one or two nights each week not later than 1 o'clock, so that we who are able to purchase high-powered neutrodynes. superheterodvnes, etc., may do & lit- tle DX fishing without having it cut up with local broadcasting. It is exasperating to have some out-of-town statian come in and avery few minutes have it garbled by the high notes of the home stations. Our local stations put out some fine programs and we appreciate them very muoh, but there is such a thing as tiring of chicken until an ordinary old beef stew tastes like heaven-sent relief—if you grasp my meaning. No matter how good a thing may be one wants something different accasion- ally. Your column is enjoyed very much and here's hoping the good wark goes on.—L. TURNER. : WFBQ is the call of the station in Raleigh, N. C. It is operated by the Wynne Radio Co., and transmits on a 252-meter wave. Radio Editor: I haye read vour column with a great deal of pleasure. Not anly are the various opinions occasionally ex- pressed interesting, but there is much information of real value in the technical discussions and answers to querie: 1 wonder if you or some of the fans can help me ta identity a station I heard Saturday night about midnight on a 300-meter wave band. It was impossible to separate them from WPG, but after that station had ll.n' ed off I heard them announcing a con- nest of some kind. It evidently had something to do with automobiles, as I heard these names mentioned sev- eral times, then followed & musical program, and after listening nly for about a half an hour to catch their call, I was obliged to gnawer the call of Morpheus.—GEORGE R. JENKINS, 505 L street northwest.

I have built many “long- distance” crystals and get WRC quits consistently. I have had amd puilt tube sets up to three tubes and get about 1,600 miles regularly. Tube: batteries, etc., are expemsive and I think Mr. Firth owes it te the thou- sands of fans who camnot afford even reasonably priced tube sets to send to The Star for publication the name (if a commercial preduct) or hook-up of his 900-mile-loud-speaker-for-lo- cals crystal receiving set.—C.

Although Mr. Firth has declined to give out for publication the hook-up and other: essentials of his long- range crystal set, he claims that the secret of its success is due primarily to the type of antenna uped.

Reflexing More Than One Stage.' Part HI. ; While we have only considered the types of circuits fn which all tubes are reflexed in this series of articles on reflex circults, there are other combinations of stralght and reflex amplification which can be used with excellent results. These 1°will take up in turn, men- tioning thelr essential characteris- tics so thdt you can apply the prin- ciples of reflexing to draw such cir- cults If you desire to experiment with them. The firet on the list is naturally the one-tube reflex circuit, in which the tube acts both as a radio and audio frequency amplifier, with a crystal rving as a detector. The next on the list is the two-tube type of reflex circult, using one reflex stage, with an additional tube as a detector; as a straight radio fre- quency amplifier, as a straight audio frequency amplifier or as a reflex stage. Action of Tubes. In the first case, the first tube acts first as & radio frequency amplifier; the sacon® tybe acts as a detector; then the audio frequency output from the plate circuit is introduced into the grid circult of the first tube, so that the first tube acts as an audio fre- quency amplifier when the signal es through it the second time. This method is not very practical, because the use of & tube as a de- tector introduces complications that are difficult of solution The second method ufes the first tube as a straight radio frequency amplifier; the signal is then passed through the second tube, which in this case also acts as a radio fre- quency amplifier, thus making two stages of radio frequency amplifica- tion; the radio frequency output from the plate circnit of the second tube i then transferred to a crystal de- tector circuit, where detection takes place. The signal, then in the form of an audio frequency vibration, is introduced into the grid circuit of the second tube, which amplifies now at audio frequency and produces an audible signal in the reproducer con- nected in the plate circuit of 'the second tube First Tube Reflexed. In the third case, the first tube is the reflex stage, the signal passing and being amplified first at radio frequency by the first tube, then de- tected or rectified in the crvstal de- tector circuit, after which the audlo frequency current is introduced into the grid circuit of the first tube to be_amplified at audio frequency. The signal is then amplified at audio frequency by the secondary tube, which is connected in as 2 straight audio frequency amplifier. A three-tube reflex circuit can also be built up along the same lines as the two-tube circuits. The extra tube can be added as a straight radio fre- quency amplifier, a straight audio frequency amplifier or a reflex stage. In the fourth and last case, & scc- ond tube can be added as a reflex stage, using a crystal as a detector The first case gives us one stage Plan your own THE Magic Carpet of Arabian Nights has its counterpart today in the modern miracle of Fada radio.
