RADIO EXPERIMENTS
Experiments being conducted by scientists from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a private es
tate in New Hampshire will be of interest to all radio
fans. Elaborate equipment has been set up both for
transmitting and receiving, and although the experi
ments are still considered as having been just begun, al
ready data of interest have been collected.
The special transmitter consists of the usual equip
ment connected to an unusual type of antenna which may
be turned and rotated to any desired position. A large
wooden framework carries a 50-foot copper tube, which is
the actual antenna conductor. Within this framework is
mounted the transmitting equipment, which turns with
the antenna system any direction and at any angle, ver
tical or horizontal, at all times exactly 25 feet off the
ground.
According to older theories of antenna performance,
best results would have been obtained with a vertical an
tenna. This has been totally disproved, the position of the
rod having shown scarcely any effect on the strength of
the signal. If anything, signals seem to be better with a
horizontal antenna, with slight indications that the best
intensity is obtained when the rod is pointed North and
South.
It has been revealed that signals are more or less
regular when the sky is clear, but weaken and dispair
when certain conditions of cloudiness are encountered. A
widespread area of rain, covering both transmitter and
receiver, has tended to increase the intensity.
It has also been discovered that in short wave length
transmission to a fixed receiving set there is a minimum
wave length beyond which signals disappear entirely at
the receiving station. In transmission over a distance of
75 miles, for instance, this “cut off” wave length has been
found to vary between 32 and 50 meters for different
times of the day, being smallest through the afternoon.
Practical application of the discoveries has not yet been
announced. It seems safe to predict, however, that bene
fit to the amateur listener-in eventually will ensue.
BEDTIME STORIES
Radio bedtime stories are usually broadcast about 7
o’clock in the evening, fully eight hours before the child
ren get home.
WHOLESALE' RATES
If laws keep on increasing in number the time may
come when courts will offer a special rate for the violation
of several in one day.
