Only four new broadeasters were licensed to go on the ajr by the Department of Com- merce during the past week, and five older transmitters announced changes of their broadcast channels. There is, however, one difficulty not apparent at the first glance, and that 1s due to the unscientific methods used by many broadeasters and some of the old ones in selecting their normal channels. They are failing to pick out standard frequencies or wave lengths. It is something like trying to run an automobile down an alley, a gutter or across lots instead of f lowing an_established tr oughfare. These careless broad; interfere with traflic on the ether channels and also on neighbor- ing ones not 10 kiloeycles distant. As has been pointed out in these columns previously, the most sensible ! method under the present system of ether channel distribution would be {0 make the selections in the kilocycle column. letting the wave lengths in meters be the equivalent, no matter 1if it does result in an odd number of meters. For example, 1,000 kiloeycles is 209.8 meter: last_weelk's list of broadeasters, KGBX selects 862 kes, or 347.8 meters, instead of 860 kes. or 348.6 meters The use of his channel will undoubt edly cause unnecessary interference with stations WCBD and W jare only 8 Kiloeycles distant fand of course KGBX will | with those stations” on 860 larly WKBC selects 1,333 Ko jof the regular_channel 1 | which is only 7 kes. from WRBM and WIBO.

C John Smith and His Radio BY FREDERICK AUGUST 2 RUSSELL Car owners throughout the world have followed John Smith in his daily He also is a rudio fan, and is willing that his fellow fans should be amused and profit by his evening experiences. Smith has a faculty for “finding out things,” so it will pay radio devotees to follow him in The Sunday Star each week. motoring—and have benefited thereby. No. i8—About Amplification. It ¥ a common fallacy in radio to consider a. transformer or an am- plifier tube the “amplifier,” and Smith was one to share in misunder- standing. The real amplifier 1s the combination of transformer, tube, socket, current, circuit trols, such as rheost necess: to make the harmonize. The more accurate designation is: A stage of amplification. These stages can come before the detector In the former they would be stages of radio frequency ampli- fication: in the latter they would be the audio frequency variety Smith seemed to be laboring under the impression that the purpose of amplification was to increase the rate of frequencies of the signal current passing through the tuner and de tector, In amplifying, you simply are creasing signal strength, or power. I told him. “The frequencies are not altered by corvect amplification. al- though they may be altered, and fre- quently are, by poor transtormers, the wrong use of transformers, faulty cir- cuits, excessive voltage or too many stages of amplification.” T went on to remind him: that the only unit of the set to change fre- quencies is the detector. Whether a crystal or a. tube with its current and circult, the detector alone can effect material and desirable frequency changes, It brings the high radio frequencies down to the andible type. No other unit in the set does su work. The amplifiers simply m the frequencies more pronounced, working on them while they are of the radio tvpe or the audio, depend ing upon needs. Tt was plain to be seen that Smith's mind was clogged with a question that needed attention. I asked him what it was. Principle of Amplification. “Amplification,” he replied. “The general principle of it. I am begin- ning to see the details and [ appre ciate now that a transformer, or a tube, or the batteries or anvthing else alone could not increase signal strength. T also understand vou per- fectly when you explain that ampli- fication simply magnifies the rre- quencies or alternations of the cur- rent traveling the ecther waves or of that loecally generated b the set, but I'mstill puzzled over amplification itself. I mean the whole idew of it." “What can puzzle you?” I asked big “Amplification is magnification. the electrical equivalent of a ma fying glass.
