Great Lakes Have A Radio
Fog Signal •
The first radio fog signal station
on the Great Lakes has recently been
installed on the Lake Huron Light-
ship.. This station is situated in Lake
Huron, a short distance north of
Port Huron.
In foggy weather, a characteristic
group of dashes is transnaitted at re-
gular intervals,' From the combina-
tion of dashes, a ship radio operator
can determine the location of the
transmitter, and by taking observa-
tions with a loo p receiver he rnayi
compute his ship's position.
The transmitter is of the vacuum
tube type, and 'the whole equipment,
• is installed in duplicate so that there
will be no failure in sending out the
warning signals. Ships have' been ab-
le
to take their bearings from this;
•station while over 250 miles distant. 1
This radio beacon is the first of six
that the It S. Department of Com-!
coerce is planning to install on the
Great Lakes.

matrimonial assistance. The 'states
of Iowa and Washington ranked se-
cond and third respectively.
In spite of the increasing number
of requests from the 'unmarried cor-
respondents of KOA, the officials of
the station are declining to assume
any of the responsibility of finding
mates. They, are hoping that with
the close of summer weather, the ma-
trimonial requests will fall off.
Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill will be' glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
him in care of this paper.) '
Q.-M.H.L. says: "1 am using a
4 -tube Siiperdyne receiver with UV
log tubes. When using about too
volts of B battery, I notice that the
filaments of the tubes dim appreciably
Iwhen the 13 battery, I notice .that the
caused by faulty wiring in the •receiv-
,er?" .
I Ana -No, with the 199 'type tubes
'the drop of filament temperature that
you observed is a nirinal occurence,
Q. -J. J. R. says: "My lightning ar-
rester has become defective, Will it
be safe to use an ordinary knife swit-
ch as a lightning switch?"
Ans.-Yes, for the rest of the sum-
mer at least., During the winter mon-
ths you will not .need any kind of
lightning protection.
Q. -M. E. S. asks: "How can I tell
what is the •proper 'size of slid leak
fol' my set?" *
Ans.-You can best tell while trying
various sizes while listening to both
strong and weak signals. When too
low a resistance is used, the set will
become insensitive. When the re-
sistance is too high, the set is likely
to "howl" and loud signals may cause
distortion.
Q. -S. M. T. asks: "In taking care
of the Edison type of storage cells,
should fresh electrolyte be added as
the solution evaporates, or should wa-
ter only, be added?"
Ans.-Add water just the •same as
You would for the ordinary lead type
batteries.'
