Times Radio Page Broadcasts News for Fans and Gives Tips to Beginners

COMMON SPEECH IS NEW NEED Broadcasting on Continent Hindered by the Many Tongues, Bv ISR'AEL KLEIN Times Radio Editor EONQ distance radio broadcasting in Europe is as popular with the fans there as it la In this country; for one significant reason: The variety of language*. All of Europe can be placed neatly inside the boundaries of the United States and the Province of Ontario, Canada. Yet the people on that continent speak sixty distinct languages, to the one spread over the entire North American continent! The difficulty of understanding a long distance broadcast program, except music, is apparent. Even were all restrictions and limitations on radio broadcasting and receiving now existent in Europe removed; with every one as wild about radio as we are in this country. European fans would still be faced by the uselessness of listening in on a lecture or other talk they could not understand. Local Areas Every nationality, except the Russian, is confined within an area which we may safely term local, so far as broadcasting is concerned. One station for each country would be almost enough to satisfy all the fans. In England, where there are more, they interlock regionally, as do many neighboring stations In this country. Yet that human desire to reach out beyond one's ’imits has seized European radio amateurs to the extent that they have given greater impetus to the movement for an in-te-national language. Numerous international language radio societies are bring formed by the European amateurs, who are convinced some new and simple means of communication should te adopted for their DX, or long distance, work. It is not so much a campaign for a universal language, like the effort to adopt Esperanto or ldo throughout the world, as it is a movement to perfect an auxiliary international language. Start Made The national language may remain. But the European amateurs and other radio fans are seeking a language fer long distance communication. European radio amateur societies are already proceeding along this line. They have oegun to formulate a language which they call '‘ldo,** although it is not the Ido suggested as a universal language, its original name was “Ilo," from the Initials of “International Language” with an “©,” signifying it is a singular noun. This "Ido” is based principally on IX,POO roots taken from six most popular and varying languages, with some from other languages. Perhaps, when international and trans-oceanio broadcasting becomes popular, American fans also will have to adopt this language. Health Advice Medical advice is being transmitted to ocean vessels by the United States Ihiblic Health Service from New York, Key West, New Orleans, San San Francisco, Honolulu and Manila. Popular on Farms Illinois Agricultural Association reports that more than 20,000 families on farms in seventy-three counties of the State have receiving sets. The survey seems to show that 7 and 10 per cent of the State’s rural population have receiving sets. World’s Best The most powerful radio station is not in the United States, according to latest Information. It is said to be the 2.400-kllowatt transmitting station in tiie Malabar Mountains, Java.

FARMERS TAKE AIR COURSES Radio Brings Regular College Course With Diploma to Rural Homes, Bu 'SEA Service rr~Tl ANHATTAN, Kan., March 28. —Farmers throughout the L..... J United States and Canada are going to college—by radio! Not just sitting down evenings and listening in on agricultural talks from authorities speaking at irregular intervals through all sorts of broadcasting stations. But actually participating in set courses, five nights a week, with prospects of being graduated after taking examinations. One of the principal Institutions broadcasting such courses for farmers is the Kansas State Agricultural College here. More than 1,000 farmers have actually enrolled In its “school of the air”—filled out an en rollment card and sent it in. Inesti mable thousands more, says Sam Pickard, in charge of the school, are “attending” without having been enrolled. Subjects Taught The college broadcasts its courses through station KFKB at Milford, thirty-two miles from here. The lectures, delivered at a microphone in the .college auditorium, are sent by line to the Milford station for broadcasting. The lectures are college professors and experts in their fields. No tuition is charged, no fees are taken for enrollment and examination at the end of the course is optional. The lectures, given from 7 to 8 each evening. except Saturday and Sunday, include: Monday: Poultry Tuesday: Livestock Wednesday: Crops, trucks, soils. Thursday: Agricultural economics and engineering. Diploma Given The man back of this radio-agricul-tural college is W. A. Jardine, president of the coUege. He pointed out that of the miyions of persons living in the country, only 150.000 are enrolled in agricultural colleges. He saw what a wonderful opportunity radio afforded farmers and the colleges. “The unlimited possibilities of radio in Its new mission." he believes, “will make It a real necessity in the economic, spiritual and Intellectual life of the communities.” At the end of the course, each student gets a "diploma” certifying to the subjects to which he had listened in and which he had passed satisfactorily after examination. The school is less than two months old. Scores of applications are coming in regularly. Spanish Program Station KDGA, Pittsburgh, in its efforts to reach out beyond the bounds of the United States, is preparing special programs for other countries. Thus, for instance, a special program for Spanish speaking people—in Mex lco, Central and South America —has been arranged. It may become a regular institution. Radio Questionnaire The idea of broadcasting questions by radio, for the listener to answer to himself, has become a popular weekly event for WJZ, New \ork. uestlons of varied popular Interest are asked, a thirty-second wait allows the listener trying to answering it and then the correct answer is broadcast Unique Contest Nearly 1,800 fans listened in for two steady hours on WJAX, Cleveland, recently, to report the two-hour program and participate in the contest for three best reports. Entries came In from as far as It int.hrop, Maine, and Gar roc hales. Porto Rico. Successes Heard Station IVOR has an interesting weekly series, called "Half Hours With Men of Achievement,” in which famous men broadcast talks about themselves and their work. The series is sent out every Wednesday evening.

ONE EVIL IN RADIO CHECKED Single Circuit Receiver Built That Will Not Reradiate. By ISRAEL KLEIN. Times Radio Edeitor. I . SINGLE circuit receiver that I fS I will not re-radiate? LL_J Convert it into a threecircuit tuner. It’s easy. Sounds like a freak, but it Isn't. It's a good, workable single-tube set, with just as good results as the regenerating variety, yet keeping the circuit from feeding back directly into the antenna. This effect is brought about by the simple expedient of disconnecting the antenna from the primary inductance and installing an intermediary inductance of about eight turns of bus bar. Even where this is not used, however, extreme care in tuning could keep the tube from oscillating and prevent interference with surrounding sets. The parts for this set include: 1 yariometer 1 23-plate variable condenser 1 .00t)25 grid condenser and leak j 1 vacuum tube socket f 1 rhtostatt—6 ohms 1 panel 7 by 11 inches 1 baseboard 6 by 11 inches 23 feet bus bar 1 phone jack 6 binding posts. Phones Only This, beside the regular equipment of vacuum tube, dry and storage bat-' teries and phones. Loud speaker can not be used effectively with thi3 circuit. In winding the antenna inductance of bus wire, eight turns around and parallel to the primary, four on each side, would be sufficient to act as r virtual wave-trap against oscillation of the sc_ It also sharpens reception considerably. The variometer can be of any standard make, reception being dependent on a perfect tnsrtrument. A vernier on the variometer would help critical adjustment. ‘ A vernier adjusted rheostat also helps. The B battery voltage is The tube may be a UV2QO or C3ool Operation To operate the set: Insert the vacuum tube, connect the batteries and turn the rheostat until a hissing c-r frying noise is heard in the telephones. Set the variometer at zero and turn the condenser knob gradually until % signal is heard. Then adjust the variometer until maximum signal ( strength Is obtained. Even with the extra inductance coil, it is essential that the set be kept from howling. Tho coil provents radiation,; but it is not fcol proof. If howling is heard, turn back the rheostat slightly, or readjust the variable condenser, until the noise dies out. The best adjustment is just at the point before howling sets In. United States and Canada have about twelve times as many broadcasting stations as all the rest of the world.
