A‘ RADIO
HE new British station that
T uses twenty-five kilowatts on
the wavelength of ”1600
meters is now regularly on the air.
So far no American listener seems
to have reported hearing it.
The power is so great. as com-
pared with the one kilowstt or ,

less used by the majority of the
broadcasters that we are reason-
ably sure to be able to set the
new Britisher on this side as soon
:15.th weather becomes a. little
more favorable.
It‘le about. time to consider
whether you can modify your re-
ceiver to make it tune up to as
long a. wave as this. Some more
inductance in the antenna circuit
will usually do the trick, but the
details take some knowledge or
radio. It you don't tool like tack-
ling it yourself— some amateur of
your acquaintance will be glad to
tell you what to do.
Senatore Marconi announces
that the radio messages Which
have been interchanged recently
between England and Australia
seem to have a. prelerence for
going around the dark side or
earth. ‘ ‘
Australia. being almost exactly
on the other side of the earth from
England, the radio waves have a
free choice of many paths around _
the earth. all at which are about
equally long. But one side of the
earth is sunllt and in day: the
other side of the earth is in night.
That the waves prefer the latter
side is another of the mysteries
of radio transmission that we have
still to explain. ‘
In Connection with this matter
of radio waves that move around
. the earth. it. has been suggested
recently, that one good place to
hear American broadcasting would

around the earth from us and the
American waves ought to concono

All broadcast wavesare sup-
posed. of course. to go out in
every direction and to follow
around the earth instead of going
on into space. Therefore they
ought to concentrate again at
the point exactly opposite to‘the
