“AERIAL.”

Reception Notes. i The ether was fairly quiet when the receiver was turned on to test reception of American and Australian stations between 6.30 and 7.30 last night. Only one Pacific Coaster was raised, and then at not better than poor loudspeaker strength. Did not hear the announcement clearly—sounded like our old friend KFOX. The Australians, 2BL and 2FC were tuned in at nice volume. Steady and scarcely a sign of static. IYA Auckland, between 8 and 10 p.m., was as enjoyable as anything on the air. Very steady most of the time. No static and not an Oswald. A little fading was observed at 9.45. In some quarters it is held that 2YA Wellington’s failure to provide listeners outside the capital city with steady and clear wireless reception is due to the recent appearance on the face of the sun of another group of spot*, whose presence exercises a malign electrical influence on radio transmissions. Unfortunately for this argument, 2Y A's brand of fading-plus-distortion has been : almost a nightly occurrence for some months and is practically confined to . reception of 2YA. IYA may fade a j bit, but it does not give distorted reception as 2YA does. The probability is that it is 2YA’s transmitter’s spot on the earth, and not any spot on the sun, that is to blame. tt a $£ 1 Gave DX stations a turn after ten o'clock. 2ZM Gisborne was in good : form. Steady at A 5. Scots heard some stirring stuff from this station. The “Cock o’ the North” on “ the pipes ” was well played. And Sassen- ; achs had their ears pleased with “The Wedding of the Painted Doll,” piano solo, from a record. One of the 4Z stations was heard down around 2bo metres. Weak. 2BL Sydney was another good one. Very light static—scarcely worth mentioning. Reception was clear and steady at A 6. Politics at 3LO. Whoop! That was 4QG in “Hear Detn Bells” by “The Troubadours” from the Acacia Gardens. Excellent. Reception clear and steady. No static.^ 2FC had a good stunt on—-quite a funny sketch—but fading spoiled the point of a great story. Reception was not satisfactory. No static. 3AR Melbourne was as good as 2FC was bad. Xo static here. Politics at 7ZL. Also Morse. No signs of any of the Japs nor of SCL up to 10.25. WIRELESS FOR BEGINNERS. No. 23. A little more about “inductive capacity” will help to clear things up somewhat. To continue with our second illustration in article 21—plates “A” and “B.” Authority lays it down (and it can be demonstrated) that with air as a dielectric (insulator) between the two plates, its facility for allowing plate “A’s” charge to produce a current in plate “B” when the two plates are, say, one inch apart, is not as great as if the two plates were separated by an inch of glass instead of air. In other words, it has been found that if glass be used as the dielectric between the two plates, there is a much-stronger charge induced in plate “B” than when air was used. It is now clear, then, that the “inductive capacity” of glass is gre-ter than the “inductive capacity” of air. It should also be as clear that even though you may increase the distance between the two plates by a greater air space, this does not affect the “inductive capacity” of the dielectric (air), although the effect of the “static induction” is reduced. Similarly, even though you should increase the thickness of the glass dielectric, that fact does not affect the inductive capacity of glass, although—as in the case of air—the additional thickness of the glass dielectric has the effect of reducing the static induction of “A” on “B ” You are now on the threshold of a complete understanding of what is called a "‘condenser.” induction” is the principle underlying the construction of a condenser. We may now replace our plates “A” and “B” by a couple of pieces of very thin tin —tinfoil—a “good conductor.” And

for a dielectric let us use a piece of glass—say a glass quarter-plate camera negative which has been cleaned of all the gelatine film, and two pieces of tinfoil each cut so that it is, say, half an inch smaller, on three sides, than the glass, but will project, say, an inch beyond the fourth side of the glass. Place one piece of tinfoil on a piece of ebonite, lay the glass on it so that the projecting piece of tinfoil is at the left-hand side: then place the second piece of tinfoil on top of the glass so that the projecting piece is at the right-hand side of the glass. That now forms a simple—the simplest—condenser. Here you have two conductors completely separated by a dielectric.

(To be Continued.) W. A. Oldfield to Broadcast. With the coming cricket season listeners will be interested to know (es-! pecially the male members of the com-, munity )that the Australian Broadcasting Company has engaged the famous international cricketer, W. A. Oldfield, to give a series of short talks on cricket. This brilliant wicketkeeper, who is known to infants of five i id men of one hundred and five, will appear from 2FC every Friday evening at 10.30 o’clock (N.Z. time), commencing to-night at 10.32. There is really no need to go into the details of Mr Oldfield’s career, for he has made a name for himself in the cricketing world, both in England and South Africa, that will always be remembered. His talk will also include some of the incidents that occurred during the last tour of the Australian eleven to England and South Africa. Why “ Tacets?” The last of the YA stations to pro vide listeners with dinner music ses sions will be 4YA Dunedin. It is un derstood that the first of such session: will be broadcast on Thursday, Octobe 17. It is, perhaps, too much to expec that the Dunedin station will run it: dinner music sessions without thos< very unnecessary “ tacets ” pr tha very silly practice adopted by th other YA’s of announcing the statioi call during the playing of items. Wh; on earth or elsewhere New Zealan< listeners should have these sillinesse inflicted on them goodness onl knows! The “ explanation ” give: that the superimposition of the static call during the broadcasting of an iter is required by regulation (whether loc£ . or international is not stated) is all - moonshine. And even if there is such a regulation tucked away in some obscure corner, not only is it ignored by all Australian stations but the R.B.C. itself breaks it every children’s session and every relay of a concert or descrip-

tion of a football or other sporting fixture. There’s no “Station 2YA Wellington ” heard every fifteen minutes on top of the voice of the man at the “ mike ” when a big football match is being described air!

As for the “ tacets “—well, as one listener said the other day: “The silly ass who invented tacets ought to have his head read! ” Quite so. They are merely a vexation and a weariness to the soul, tmless perhaps to those who dine off gold plates, who, usually, don’t seem to appreciate good music at any time from the way they chatter at an “At Home ” or other function when some celebrity is engaged to play or sing for the guests. The common or garden New Zealander abhors the “ side ” these “ tacets ” infer. Licenses in Force.

According to “ The New Zealand Radio Record” there were over 47.00 C radio licenses in force on August 31 last.

will welcome him as a distinct adjunct to the talent on the air at present. Hard study and a sweet lyric soprano voice have placed Myra O’Neill among the foremost singers in New South Wales. Correct production characterises her work. She will broadcast from 2BL this evening. Miss O’Neill is a member of several musical societies and is also a pianist. She has given a number of successful concerts, and Lady de Chair has promised her patronage at the next one, which is to be given shortly. The young singer received a special invitation to Government House recently, where she greatly impressed Lady de Chair with her singing. With the voice with which she is endowed, Miss O’Neill should have no difficulty in proving her popularity with broadcast audiences.

On the proud first night when public i broadcasting commenced in New South j Wales, Mr Norman Wright was on the i programme. "I happened to meet the i managing director of the firm who at j that time controlled 2BL, and who was j a friend of mine,” he said. ‘‘After chat- j ting of mundane things, my friend said j casually, ‘Why not get a couple of j songs together and come up to 2BL j to-night?’ Under the impression that it was a kind of smoke social, I agreed to give a few numbers. W T hen I arrived at 2BL and discovered that I was booked to sing on the inception programme of public broadcasting, I felt j not half as confident as I had been.” All Norman Wright’s family are wellknown musicians, and his brother is making a remarkable success in Italy under the name of Alessandro Navarra. He has been compared to John M’Cormack and is already well known in Europe. Norman Wright himself is the owner of a fine tenor voice and has been broadcasting for six years. Listeners who know his voice and some who do not will be pleased to hear him from 2BL to-night. *♦ An interesting will take place this evening, from 10.45 till 11 45, through 2FC, relayed from 3LO, Melbourne. A fine programme of military band music will be presented when the 59th Battalion Band will be heard to advantage in several descriptive nautical numbers. Well known to Sydney' listeners, Miss Florence Yates, whose contralto voice will be heard from 2FC this evening, has had great experience with broadcasting. She studied in London for two years under the Australian singing teacher, Anne Williams, and made several notable appearances in the English provinces, specialising in oratorio work. Miss Yates returned to Sydney from abroad a year ago and has been busily engaged since her return with the various music clubs, and chamber music concerts, and as she is a contralto she is in constant demand. | ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES. “ Aerial ” win be glad to answer any - question pertaining to wireless, or give , advice on the subject.

To 5.0’8.: I don’t mind advising you j to the best of my ability, but I cannot undertake construction or repairs. ■ Haven’t more than an hour or so free [ every week as it is, and •I. want those 1 for my own work. There are several dealers who will be only too glad to build you a receiver if you wish—but why not try your hand at it yourself? Constructional articles in nearly every radio magazine published nowadays ' are so clear in every detail that the s veriest novice should be able to turn » out a satisfactory job. Try it, and » when the job’s done I don’t mind call 7 ing to give it the “once over” before 3 you hook up the batteries. You will * thus obviate any risk of burning out 3 your valves or short-circuiting your • batteries. It’s not a difficult task to r build a set. Why, ten years ago, when radio was really complicated, hundreds 1 of boys in their early ’teens _ were among the most successful builders, not only of valve receivers but also of s transmitters! —“Aerial.’ e tl 35 **

To “Motorist”: (1) Many thanks for your kind offer of a car for “research work. Will communicate with you .n the course of the next few days when I have arranged for the use of a loopoperated receiver. (2) No, I regret having to admit that, so far as my correspondence shows, there are less than a dozen listeners who are anxious to have something done about the “roarer.” The rest of the 8000-odd listeners in and around the city either are not troubled with interference by the "roarer” or are too darn lazy to extend even moral support to those who are willing (and are trying) to do something to suppress the pest.— “Aerial.”
