Special Antennae Necessary.
The short waves need special anten-
na systems for their propagation, an-
tennas of the vertical type, worked at
the fundamental frequency or at har-
Monioa. Other antenna ayst0ms have
boon developed, such as 'till;' feeder
and beam typet, which may or may
not emplot directors or reflectors for
senditiieall of the transmitted energy
in one :specific direction, while not
radiating in other directions.
The field of the short wave offers
much encouragement for the experi-
menter from the angle of special tube
development. Tubes that are perfect-
ly satisfactory for longer waves may I
not function properly on short waves.
Here is the experimenter's chance for
development and discovery of the pro-
per characteristics for the short wave
transmitting tubs 58 well as the short
wave receiving tubes,
