PART PLAYED
BY RADIO IN
DISASTERS
By Robert Flagler
Continued from Yesterday
Continuing with the story of ra
dio and the many parts it has
played in the ways and lives of
civilization, we take up the mat
ter of the short waves.
shortly after the world war,
amateur transmitters, long sllenc
< d as a necessary war measure,
were again allowed to take the
air provided they wer<; trimmed
down to waves below 200 meters
and duly licensed by the govern
ment. The amateur’s field of ex
periment then became anything be
low 200 meters. Commercial and
government communication had no
use for the shorter waves. How
different it is now. A few narrow
bands remain for the amateur and
now he is squeezed in from all
sides.
A couple of years after the ama
teur started operation styles In
transmitters began to undergo a
metamorphosis. The old "rock
crushers" from Ihe day*-of Jack
Hinn began to disappear and in
their places tube transmitters took
a footing. Perhaps it was sent
imentalism at first on the part of
not a few who refused to even
consider the rather weak and un
impressive tube. The'~oid spark
made a tremendous satisfying noise
when operated, that was music to
the ears; Its weaker brother the |
tube said nothing but continued |
to throw out weaker but more |
penetrating signals. Amateur dis- 1
tnnce records began to fall rap-)
idly as more tubes appeared.
When an amateur was dually won
over he never went back to -the
spark. It was the beginning of a
renaissance for radio development.
The sparks tottered, weaken'd and
fell. Thoughtful manufacturers j
brought out better and 1 ss ex
pensive tubes. Result: Thousands j
of amateurs were in cothYn till Ira-1
tinn across wide spans where be
fore their range had bf'en. under
the most favorable conditions but
a hundred miles. A few ama
teurs in the bay region around
San Francisco carried on chats on
