Due to the variety of entertainment offered -by the radio, people are stay ing at home more; they are sitting up late at night and using the electric light while they listen to radio pro- grams. And, as they are at home more, they are doing more cooking. and baking, and eine use more gas. The manufacturers of gas and elec- tricity are apparently well satisfied with the effect of radio on their busi- nesses. WAVELENGTH CONGESTION the broadcasting range down to 150 By R. M. Sherrill meters. ..(Radio Engineer) Of course,, most of the receivers The present arrangement of broad- used today will not tune low enough casting wavelengths is utterly inade- to pick up .these stations, and the be- quate to provide sufficient wave bands for. all of our stations. The existing channels are badly overcrowded now, and the worst part of it is that appli- cations for new stations are constantly coating in. This congestion is parti- cularly bad in large centers such as Chicago and New York, It is not reasonable to' expect. that science will, in a short time, be able to develop broadcasting to a point where stations may work on wave- lengths which are much closer togeth- er than they are now. About the .on- ly other alternative is to extend the band of broadcasting wavelengths. As the wavelengths above 55o me- ters -are internationally used for naval communication, .they cannot be taken over by broadcasting. Thus the only possible extension can be into the lower wavelengths. Although the am- ateurs now occupy the waves below 2oo meters, they have nearly all dropped voluntarily to waves of 15o meters and below. Thus it seems as though the most logical remedy for the present. congestion is to extend havior of receivers at these lower waves will be quite different from what it is now. But these diffculties will gradually work themselves out. Eventually, the lower wavelength stations will have a higher status than they .do now. It is possible, on the lower waves, to transmit farther with a given amount of power. Also, the reception of the short wave broadcast- ing is not bothered so much by atmo- speric interference. It" is confidentially expected that broadcasting below 200 meters will be in effect before the close of 2925. _O - Radio And The Gas Arid Light Bills CROSS WORD PUZZLE NO. 17 Horizontal '1.

The proposition has created a great deal of interest among the British ra- aio public, and there has been much discussion pro and con. Such an innovation would greatly help the national status of: broadcast- ing as.well as bring the voting popu- lation in closer touch with their repre- sentatives. It has been pointed out, however, that unless the debates to be broad- casted are carefully selected, they would probably prove more boresome than interesting to the average listen- er. -0- Radio Warns Of Icebergs. Ever since the Titanic disaster of 1912, the U. S. Government has under- taken the patrol of the north Atlantic to protect shipping from the danger- ous icebergs. The radio plays a most important role in `this work, and mo- dern high powered equipment is used to .warn of the presence of the bergs. This spring, two new patrol boats equipped with 2K.W tube transmitters, were added for this work. These ships, both of which have the call NIDK, use specially designed tubes and transmitters, which are particu- larly adapted for use at, sea. Their unusually high power insures that their warnings will be received under all weather conditions.. Radio Questions And Answers (Mr. Sherrill will be glad to help you solve your radio .problems. Write him in care of this paper.) L. P. A. asks: "Can I tell when my A battery needscharging by the read- hhhhhhhhhhh t ....- moutei gimil s ing of the voltmeter on the panel of my receiver?" Ans.-You should use a hydrome- ter for this purpose, as the voltmeter will _not idicate that .the batte"ry is low until it is almost completely dis- charged. -0- B. C. S. says: -"I are' trying to use alternating current for heating the fil- aments of my two stage A. F. ampli- fier. What is the method of getting rid of the AC hum that results?" . Ans.-- Conect a potentiometer across your AC filament supply. Con- nect the two wires from the A. F. transformers, which formerly led to the negative side of the filament, to the contract arm of the potentiome- ter. The potentiometer is then ad- justed until the hum is at a mininnim. lQtrs Jamieson and David, also Mr. and Mrs. Thos.
