RADIO NOTES. During the past three months a series of experiments have been carried out on the ultra short wave-length of 7 metres, and although a power of only 10-15 watts is used in the aerial, very satisfactory results have been obtained, reception being effected in many of tho suburbs of Sydney and in ono instance at Springwood on the Blue Mountains, about 30 miles air line from Sydney. The transmitter is located at “Wireless House,” Sydney, the vertical aerial being 1 attached to the flagpole oil tho roof. Tho radio frequency energy is conveyed to the aerial by means of two feeder wires. The frequency of the carrier wave is maintained constant by means of a crystal oscillating on a wave-length of 112 metres. .This frequency is multiplied by means of frequency doublers until the desired wave-length is reached, namely 7 metres. Tho valves used are the same as those used in public address amplifiers enabling tho house service mains to be used on the lI.T. supply. The object of the tests is to determine the usefulness of ultra short wave-lengths for giving a broadcast service over a restricted area, without causing any appreciable interference outside a comparatively limited range. If this proves possible, a number of local broadcasting services could be* carried out on a common wave-length without mutual interference, a development of great importance and utility.
