NEW STATION FOR WSB
By R. M. Sherrill
(Radio Engineer)
Station WSB, Atlanta (Ga)., is
,building a new super -power station on
•'the top of the Atlanta Biltrnoe Hotel,
The transmitter is a Western.. Electric
-installation of a new type. It repre-
sents the very latest in broadcast de-
•velopment, and is expected to set a
new standard for modulation and effi-
ciency. Capacity coupling of the set
to the antenna system insures a
"sharp'. wave, and eliminates harmon-
ics,
The station studio, which is to be
.as fine as the transmitter itself, is lo-
cated on the top floor of the hotel.
WSB, which is something over
three years old, was one of the pion-
eer broadcasting stations. Mr. Lamb-
-din Kay,' who has always been the an-
nouncer at WSB, and who has won a
national •reputation as such, is to be
the director and announcer atthe new
.station.
A Request From Scotland
Like the Americans, the Scotch ra-
dio amateurs like to receive cards ac-
knowledging. the reception of their
signals. The thrifty Scotch amateurs
are worried, however, abort the ex-
pense of these "Q -S -L Cards" as they
.are called. Orie of these operators
makes a pathetic appeal to the Ameri-
can "hams" to remember that the -post-
age on cards to his country costs one
cent, more.
NICF uses a power of about 5KW
and has carried on'two-way communi-
y
cation with Sydney, Australia;
, Trans -Atlantic Low Power Record
An unusually low power wasused
by an English station (5SI) when he
communicated With U. S. at.
The transmission started with high-
er power at 5SI, but at' the request of
1PL it was gradually cut down to an
input power of only 2,2 watts. This
is less than 125th of the power used
,in the average incandescent light bulb
'in the home,
Another striking thing about this
feat, was that 5SI Was' transmitting on
,a make -shift aerial consisting of a
i single wire, varying from 7 to 28 feet
above the ground. The transmission
took place on a wavelength of 96 me-
ters. •
Man -Made Static
An English listener announced re-
cently, that he had discovered a new
kind of static which seemed to have a
certain time and rythm to it. Some
skeptics have pointed out however,
that a neighboring station was trans-
mitting a Gaelic concert at -the time.
It is supposed, from the foregoing
! report, tht a Gaelic concert must
sound something like the familiar
'noise made by three or more Ameri-
can stations holding a "free-for-all" on
the same wavelength.
The above"plea was made after the
Scot had been forced to pay an ad-
-ditional postage fee on each of a do-
zen cards, '
Navy Tries The Shorter Waves
The short wave transmitter at NKP
:Bellevue (D. C.), has met with such
-success that numerous short wave na-
-val, stations are now in operation' be
'tween the wave -lengths of 20 and 8o
meters, . About half of these stations
:are on shore and half afloat,
The radio operators on various bat-
tleships have built •themselves "unof-
ficial" short wave receivers for the
purpose of hearing NKF, These r.e
,ceivers use but a single tube, and it is.
reported that NKF comes in stronger y
-than the powerful 17,000 meter naval
:station at Annapolis.
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be .glad to, help
you solve your radio problems. Write
him in care of this paper.)
A. H. R says: "I have made an
electrolytic rectifier wording to
your instructions, and when using the
125 watts will never charge at more
than a ampere. I would like to ask,
what governs the amount of rectifica-
tion in this type of charger? Is it
the draw as measured by the size of
the lamps, or has the strength of the
solution and size of the plates any-
thing to "do with it?"
Ans.-The charging current from
the electrolytic rectifier will be,
roughly, the voltage divided by the
total resistance in' the circuit. The vol-
tage used here is the applied voltage
less the voltage of . the battery being
charged, •'The principal resistances in
the circuit are in the two 75 watt

the electrolytic cell. The latter with
a saturated Borax solution should be
around b ohms. ,Itis imperative
that the charger be kept from over-
heating
The heating is due to one or more
of the following reasons:
(1) Back -Leakage --caused by
pure aluminum, poorly formed alumni -
um 'electrodes,'insufficient concentra-
tion of the solution, or impurities in
the solution.
(2) Small volume of electrolyte --
as large a volume as possibie should
be used in order to provide for circu-
lation and heat radiation, Inaddi-
tion it is advisable to place the jar con-
taining the electrolyte in a much lar-
ger vessel filled with water.

Picnic Time
The picnic season is a joyous time
for all. 'Tis the time to be prepared
so that at practically a moment's no-
tice one can pack a tasty` lunch. The
main idea is to have the food on hand
and other items to go with it.
Purchase plenty of paper napkins.
Oiled paper.
Paper plates.
Paper forks.
Paper spoons.
Have "a shelf ready with:
Jelly and. jam.'
Cheese.
Bottled goods.
Salad dressing
And -have plenty of egg's or cold
meat in the ice box.

Paper Napkin Uses
Buy plenty of cheap napkins. Hang
some near sink. Use to wipe hands;
wipe floor; wipe stove; wipe spots;
wipe greasy pans, and be handy to
wrap food ,in when necessary,

dawter-in-law wud say.
Av coorse I can't begin to tell ye

rud came av the defate av the Grits
in Novy .Scoshee, an me foightin
blood wus up, I said to Matt. it
wus a blessin fer the Prawvince that
it had got rid av the Grits at lasht,
an that wid a Tory Governxnint'in aw-
fice the coal shtroike wud soon be

"I tought ye called yersilf a Pro-

in him? 'Tis the sand in the Grit
parthy that always kapes gittin into
the Government machinery an kaypin

"Hould on, Tim, sez he. "Ye are
afther gittin yer mettyfers mixed, so
ye are. If ye take the Progressive
cement an mix it wid the Grit sand, an
hev a lot av ye ould Tories pourin

"is that ye are too narrey, an don't

who wus led ashtray in Ontario hev
done. Tape yer fate warrum an yer
