Wave Circuit This Is a Wave Trap That Works. Such a Trap Is Being Usea by One ot tne Government Receiving Stations Which Operates on 450 Meters and Upward, Less Than a Mile from a Broadcasting Station. 400-Met- At the present time there Is no practical solution for every Interference problem that a radio fan may have. However, there are a great many cases of interference that can be solved by the use of a properly constructed wave trap. It Is the purpose of this article to give the results of tests which have been made and to explain exactly the construction of a trap which the writer believes wUl be of much help to many of the fans. Just such a trap Is being used by one of the government receiving stations which operates on 450 mete'rs and upward and is less than a mile from one of the large broadcasting stations. Before the trap was put Into service, signals from the broadcasting station could not be tuned out, regardless of how the government receiving set was tuned. In fact, the Interfering concerts could be heard for many feet from the 'phones. Before the broadcasting station was finally allowed to begin regular operations the problem of Interference had to be solved. Several traps were made and tried out, and finally one was developed which cleared the trouble. Conditions Were Rigorous. The conditions which the trap had to meet were very rigorous. When the broadcasting station was In operation It was necessary that It should not be heard In the least when the government set was tuned to 450 meters or more. For this test the receiving set wsa tnned to 450 meters, the lowest wave length used In the reception of messages at that particular station. Also the regeneration was set at a minimum and two amplifier tubes In addition to the detector were employed. The fact that no regeneration was used made the receiving set much less selecd tive, even though it was a type. Also It was required that the use of the trap would not noticeably cut the slgtfal strength of any messages that the operator desired to receive. Finally, after building several traps, using various sizes of wire, Inductance and capacitance, an arrangement was found which met the specified conditions. It was possible to tune the receiving set as low as 430 meters before the broadcasting signals were audible. There was no noticeable change In Intensity of stations when the trap was cut In and 400-met- loose-couple- 400-met- 450-met- Bracing Aerial Pole ' at End of Ridge Roof The accompanying diagram shows an excellent way of bracing an aerial pole where an anchor for a fourth guy wire la not available.

Donald MacMillan, the Arctic explorer, Is planning to take a powerful radio receiving and transmitting outfit with his expedition, on the ship Bow-dolthis summer. No matter how far north the party penetrates, the receiving part of the outfit at least will go with them, and while they are sitting Inside their snow Igloos In the frozen North, they can be listening to the latest Jazz broadcasts from civili' zation. ( Not only will the explorers ship be equipped with a powerful receiving set, but it la planned to have a powerful Argentina.

In some parts taste: I was speaking of the new sugar cane and fruits are cultivated.' "Trap out of circuit When the receiving set was adjusted to 400 meters about 90 per cent of tbe Interfering signals was eliminated. The accompanying diagram illustrates how the trap should be connected In circuit When the condenser is adjusted so that the circuit resonates at 400 meters, for example, the trap offers, theoretically, an Infinite Impedance to any Incoming signal of the same wave length. In actual practice the Impedance of the trap at resonance Is not Infinite, due to the fact that a coll cannot be made which has no resistance, but it is, however, very high. All other signals above or below 400 meters find their way Into the receiving set, since the trap Is not in resonance with them. How Inductance Is Made. The Inductance Is made by winding 17 turns of No. 15 or No. 16 D. C. C. bakelite tube copper wire on a The variable condenser Is .001 mfd., or the usual type The fixed condensers are also .001 mfd. of mica switches dielectric. Two single-pol- e make It possible to cut In or out the fixed condensers In order that broader range of tuning may be had on the switch trap. The other single-pol- e makes it possible to cut In or out the wave trap as desired. After the proper capacity has been determined for any particular receiving station. It Is probable that switches will be unnecessary for cutting the condensers In and out of circuit staThe trap will cut out tions when one fixed condenser Is In circuit and the variable condenser Is placed approximately at To eliminate higher waves. Increase the condenser capacity, and for shorter waves, decrease It cutting In or out the fixed condensers as necessary. If a loose coupler or varlocoupler arrangement Is used In the receiving set, very close coupling must be employed ; otherwise the trap will not be at all effective. The trap will slightly alter the previous settings of the receiving set but not to an appreciable extent. This particular apparatus will undoubtedly be of most service In eliminating 400 meter stations when one desires to hear stations, and vice versa. Those who have trouble from commercial spark sets will also find It a great addtlon to a radio set. twenty-five- .
