It was nice of you to write it. it

ARADIOCOLUMN

By now “WA!
HEN some one in your
w neighborhood receives a
distant station. perhaps one
that is a thousand miles away. on
a simple crystal set. the usual ex-
planation is that the concert has
been picked up by the crystal of!
the antenna of a more sensitin:
set located somewhere in the
same neighborhood. The sensi.
tive set is supposed to be receiv-
ing the distant concert. magnify-
ing it and rc-radiating it from its
own antenna. so that less sensi-
tive sets in the neighborhood can
bear ii.’
i cannot see how this is pos.
sible. it seems quite contrary to
what we know about radio waves.
For me at least. it is easier to;
believe that these freak receptions;
of distant stations on crystals are,
duclo exceptional receptivity of,
the crystal or to some peculiar
condition of transmission of the
waves; a condition corresponding.
perhaps. to a mirage with light:
waves. .
Nevertheless. it does not do to
say that anything is impossible. if
any listener has observed an un-
questionable itlstance of rc—rcdiao
tion it is a matter of considerable
importance to radio science and I
wish he would put his observa-
tions on record. A test of the
reality of the occurrence would be.
for example. the periodical stop-
ping and starting of the sensitive
set and the observation that the
near-by crystal act heard the dis-
tant program and ceased to hear it
in exact correspondence with the
operation of the sensitive set.
There is another common idea
along this same line. It is that
static travels long distances on the
carrier wave of a broadcasting
station. The wave is supposed.
somehow. to pick up local static
out of the air and bring it along.
This. too. is very dimcult to
understand on radio theories.
That a carrier wave should be. in-
nuanced during its passage
through the other in such a way
u to, add a new "message" (the
mile) to its seems unthinkable.
ME"!
‘09000
. silk . rose.
During a recent discussion of
this problem in the Radio Associa-
tion of Greater New York it was
suggested that the static might
niluence the antenna of the orig-
inal broadcasting station: thus
getting on the carrier wave before
the wave started out.
This may be the solution of the
mystery. in any case. there seems
a considerable probability that
you really do hear mono static
when you are listening to a dis~
taut statiomthan when no carrier
wave is on the air.
THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fact for Litsencrs.
The Bowls and Squeals that
you hear sometimes from your
radio set—usually when you most
want n to behave nicely—arc the
result of the thing that We dis-
cussed recently in‘ the Primer,
oscillation. '
We pointed out, you remember.
that the proper kind of an electric
circuit. containing a vacuum tube
and a source of current. could be
made to oscillate all by itself. just
as the pendulum of a clock dis-
plays oscillations produced by tho
clgck itself without any outside
at .
This fact that tubes can be set
into oscillation is very useful in
radio. It underlies. for example.
the operation of the famous super-
heterodyne. it is used in all
vacuum tube transmitters.
Even in receiving sets which do
not actually use the principle of
oscillation the fact that the tubes
may break into oscillation usually
does no arm to long as the oscil-
lations they DrUdUl‘t' are fast
enough to be inaudible.
But with many hookvups for re-
ceiving sets it is possible for one
of the tubes in the set. or for the ~
set as a whole. to produce slow
oscillations; oscillations that are
within the range of human hear-
(as. In other cases. the oscilla-
tions of the tube. although theis—
lves inaudible. combine with
t s incoming signal or with some
other oscillation to produce an
audible note. .
This is how the bowls originate.
Something in the set is oscillating.
Stop the oscillation and you stop
the bowl: unless. of course. the
bowl itself is coming in from the
outside. .
THE FUR COLLAR
Lovely collars of far for spring.
are of this sort: a. band of softest
