E BY SET TO 8 A rnd'O amateur Is a person who is learning all be ran regarding radio, rniys Milton D. Koiipal of Kugene. However, many peuplii appear to think, when a radio amateur Is men tio nod, of a grammur school pupil in knoe innts who likes to play prnnks and does it by connecting a spark coil to an aerial and leaving it 1 run. "Such an occurrence rarely hop pnt" Hays Mr. Koupal, "and if it duea. Kugene amateurs themselvei ciiii uminlly tnke cure of the prank but. If such action fails, the U. S. department of commerce always pro duces the results. "In Kuceue, ahout five tube ata tioiix transmit at various times of t night, according to the regulations act forth on their reHpective govern' ment licenses. None of these at tionk has a power exceeding 50 watts few of them have this power. There are uo quiet hours designated for a tube station operating on wave lengths below Kt metera, provided thin operating does not interfere with other aervices. "This provision should h i taken In a reasonable hpiimp, hecnuse a person with a poor receiver who Hves very clone to a transmitting amateur can not expect, that station to be able to adjust hia transmitter with such pre cision that no interference will be beard. "The Kugene amateur will cooper ate with any listener in so as to promote good reception. Remember though, that the Eugene amateur is , reMpntiffible for very little f the dis tui'banee that occurs locally. "Power line leaks, faulty track bonding, radiating receivers, and many other sources of air noises make con cert receiving miserable a good share of the time. I keep a log at my sta tion of concerts which are broken into, and this occurs frequently, but as yet it has not been necessary to enter an amateur s call in it. ''The Kugene listeners have done fine thing in organising. Thin action surelr will aid in making Kugene a hetter place In which to listen on the air. For five years, the nmateurs hnve listened to the racket which you all hear almost every other night, hut have not been able to take action against it. The local amateur is very much in favor of the organization, as H will materially help clearing p the noise which has been bothering his reception."

"Thus, if s in. Won auditors pay a quiirier each, the gross revenue for one performance could be a quarter nt a million ilullurH. Twenty per cent to the artist or J.'iO.tNHJ would not be an unreasonable amount to pay for the box-office talent thus broad cast. Like Movies The ne' developments which nre reasonable to expect open up great possibilities for artists who have rad io personalities.

Illiilt on low-loss lines, it nn sat isfy the most exacting of fans. iiie receiver described here Is of tins type, it can cross the continent for distance, and brinir in r.,,i,-.r,. clearly and shurply, it is a four-tube set with one stage of tuned radio frequency and two of audio frcnuenc. amplifications. Material Required 1'arts needed to build It are: One pound No, 22 IJSO wire. C 1 and C2, two .00025 variable low. loss condensers. i; our tube sockets. Four 20 to 30-ohin rheoststs. In place of these, fixed resistances may bo employed for the amplifier tubes and only one rheostat installed for no detector, D. C3, one .5 nifd. by-pass condenser.' C4, one .(iotas condenser with 2 megohm grid leak. ( , one .0112 fixed condenser. Tl, one audio-frequency transform er, 5 to 1 ratio. 12, one audio-frequency transform er, 8 1-2 to 1 ratio. Nine binding posts. Panel, 7 inches by 18 Inches. Itaseboard, U inches by '7 inches, liua wire, etc, for construction. Winding the Colls The low-loss coils, LI. 1,2. LS. 1.4 and L5, are made as follows: uet a cylindrical block of wood. 1 inch thick by 1 8-4 Inches in diam eter. Space off equally nine noints on the rim nud bore a quarter-inch hole atraight toward the center for about half an Inch, Into each of these holes set a nuor- er-lnch dowel pin, four inches long. Start winding coil LI, beginning at the hub and' going in nnd out of the pins until six turns are com pleted. Cut off and mark both ends. LI. Now begin ngnin whero you stopped, nnd continue winding oil turns. This makes 1.2.

The begin-, nlng of r,2 goes to the negative of the filament of the first tube through ei ther rheoatat or fixed resistance, and. through the fixed condenser C.'i, to the head of coll IA The end of coll L2 goes to the grid nf the first tube. The variable con denser, CI, is shunted ivcross the ends of 1,2, with the stator side con nected to the outside end of 1.2 and the grid. Coils L3 and L4 are wound just like coils 1.1 and 1.2, with the same number of windings, respectively. The beginning of L3 goes to the plate of the first tube. The end of L.S goes to the beginning of L2, through Con denser Cft and rheostat Itl. Condenser C3 must go between filament and end of coll 1-3, rather than between coil 1.2 nnd filament na shown. The beginning of 14 goea to rotor of condenser C2 and to rheostat 112. Tho end of L4 goes, through grid condenser C4, to grid of the detector tube, as well as directly to Btator of condenser C2. Coll IJ, wound on the same form In the same way, has que continuous stretch of 35 turns. Placing Colts lleforc taking each winding off the form, pour sealing wax on them where the wires cross and let har den. Then slip off. Cut a piece of torimea, the size of the hub, to fit into the renter of each coil. Bore hole in the center. Coil LMs2 fita on the back of condenser CI. It can be held on bj means of. a atrip of brass attached by bolt and nut to the formica hub and then to a condenser bolt. Coil 1&-JA is placed unrinht at right angles, to L1-L2, held so by a brass strip which Is attached through a bolt and nut to its formica hub and then to a small block of wood nailed to the baseboard. The Tickler Coil L5 goes parallel to I.3-L4, and about the distance of its radius apart. It is hald in place by a brass shaft through the panel. Tho shaft is kept from moving for ward and backward by the use of a phone jackscrew and nut, with a tight bushing on each side taken from old rheostats. The inner end of the shaft may bo filed down flat and bolt ed to tho center of the formica hub. while the end outside the panel is tightened Into a dial. . The tube sockets, especially the first two, should be set close to the colls, to keep the leads as nhort as possible. All tubes are UV201-A, in cluding detector.

Each entrune must have appeurcd in at leant two radio atu diow, and mint hnve been accepted for a return engagement in at least one. Hy Hi s rule, it is planned, broad casters may expect only expert talent whenever they call upon the associa tion to fill a program. Hesides furnishing broadcasters with entertainers, however, the asso c ation plans to take up more serious subjects for the benefit of its mem bers. An Investigation is planned into charges thnt radio la a menace to various industries. Instead of taking an antagonistic nttiutde, the organ ization expects to confer with the neads of these industries, such as the theater, the phonograph makers and music publishers, to overcome the dif ficulties that seem to cause friction at present. Steps will be taken to discover whether radio broadcasting can hurt the attendance at a good show or the sale of good songs or phonograph records. The main consideration, however, will be the development of radio pro grams and efforts to put radio enter taining on a paying basis. The first executive committee of this organization consists of Austin T. Rogers, well, known for his lec tures on industry; Harry A. Bruno, program director of WEBJ, New York, and Richard It. HI y the, radio dramatic critic. I on Short radio writer, is corresponding secretary. Short Cuts ..... rPO HOOK two seta of phones in series, obtain two brass screws about three-quarters inch long and six nuts to fit. A nut should be placed on each screw and the screw inserted in the other two nuts from the opposite ends and tightened. The, phone cord tips then are placed be tween the head of each screw and the movable nuts tightened. W Sharp tuning will be almost im possible if the coupling is close. So keep the antenna circuit wiring iso lated from the secondary circuit. The antenna leail should be nB short as possible and na fur from the other wiring its possible. s If your set requires n switch stop, make one by boring a small hole be side the Inst switch point and bend ing a piece of bus wire so it will fasten on the point behind the panel and at. the same time stick through the small hole you bored in the panel. A baker's cookie pan will make a battery tray that will withstand the ruvages of acid if it is painted sev eral, fimes with n coating made by lissolving old phouograpu records in alcohol. Make a low-loss roil by winding the required number of turns around an eight-side pickle bottle, on each Hide of which has been placed a unr- row strip of adhesive biuder, or stiff paper. Ilcfore breaking the bottle to get the coil off, lap the euds of the imlor and glue. Safe lock for a radio set can be made by using a single-circuit phnne jack as a battery switch. The plug, vhen not used to make the connec tion, can be carried in the pocket.

Feb. 2S. The .Navy Ueaprtment has called up on tho American Rdio Relay League to co-operate in experiments on the practicability of short wave transmis sion for naval use. As a result, b II. Sclmell, traffic malinger nf the A. R. It. L. and an experienced amateur, is preparing to a ccr in pa n, r the l'acific fleet during m1 lit uverH from April lo October. During that time Schnell will ex periment wnh stiort wave transmit ters, especially installed on the ship to which he will be assigned. lie will try to communicate with ama teurs on a wnvelength of 5-J or 53 meters and will also use two per sonal transmitters of 20 and 40 me ters each. The navy's intention is to ascer tain how the rnnge and capabilities of Bhort wave transmitters compare with high-power sets. The success of nmateurs in covering considerable distance by day with their snort wave transmitters, while the longer wave sets seemed to lose their efficiency, has encouraged the navy to try this experiment. These amateur sets have worked on one kilowatt power, ns against sets with power as high as 'SO kilowatts employed on the U. S. ships. Sub stitution of n low wave set with low power, and yet as ereat or greater efficiency, would mean considerable financial saving. ' Schnell's testing station on board ship will have the call letters NRItlj. It the radio cram - Ue enough to ue "e W frp by ..iiieoue wilu is "i op.r,,N expert?
