A microphone installed in the House carried the ceremonies by speeial ¢ cuits to New York, from which point other special circuits conveyved them through the chain of 42 stations. The short-wave transmitters which also broadcast the event included two at KDKA, one operatnig on 63 meters and the other on 14 meters, and two which used the 32.7-meter annel, and 2XAD, which broadcast on 22 meters. Booster stations for popular broad- casters may solve the problem of at- tenuation. In long-distance telephony it is necessary to boost the current ever sb often; otherwise to get through a message in normal volume at a distance an inconceivably power- ful current would be essential at the start. The major loss is one of at- tenuation, this loss being greater for metal conductors than for ether. The attenuation of the ether varies from night to night, and it always is strongest in the daytime. If the waves sent out by a broadcaster could be at certain points, and as neces- sity demanded, reception would be O et woni b WOl less e ive in the long run than unkmunu are a great many problems, ‘however, to be ironed out in the actual ‘work of boostis doubts as to the success of the plan at least within the next few years.

Accuracy in tuning a radio receiv- lmc sot is almost an art. Tuningin | with a single-dial set can be accom- | plished very easily where the broad- {cast stations are close by and power- Iful enough to force their waves over two or three degrees of the dial. Accuracy of tuning increases with distance, however. One can measure the angles in an equilateral triangle the width of the face between the eyes with comparative ease. But when the focus of the same angle is moved out to a great distance the result is differ- ent. Hance the effort of manufactur- ers to produce a radlo receiving set with one dial or knob which will bring in distant stations with the same de- gree of accuracy as can be obtained with the nearby stations. EXPEDITION TAKES RADIO. American Explorer Will Have Set in Abyssinia. * Gordan MacCreagh, American ex- plorer, who, with his wife, recently left New York on the Abyssinian ex- pedition of Adventure Magazine, will have American radlo with him in the far-off country. His apparatus con- sists of a broadcast ratlio receiver and a short-wave set. He also will have short-wave transmitting equipment, and this will be of British make. A. H. Grebe & Co. of New York will attempt to maintain constant commu- nication with the expedition. Also the Atlantic Broadcasting Co., station WARBC, in New York, will arrange speclal programs for the wanderers, and engineers believe the expedition should have no difficulty in hearing American and European broadcasting stations. Southern Stations Added. The National Broadcasting Co. has announced that, beginning Thursday, four Southern station—WMC, WSB, WHAS and WSM—will be added to the hook-up for the broadcasting of 1 | the Goodrich Zippers program. These entertainers have attracted wide at- tention since they began broadcasting, many months ago, and the addition of the Southern stations is in answer to 0% | many requests.
