"AERIAL."

If you want to find out where a noise with the aerial and earth connected. Then, disconnect both the earth and aerial. If the noiso still persists then there’s a fault—usually a very slight fault—in the set:. If. however, there is no noise after disconnection, you can look for a broken strand in either your When your set is installed, see that it is directed at that part of the room where you sit to take your leisure. The wise person, of course, listens to his radio with the volume subdued —but no matter how low in volume you like your radio, it always pays to have the speaker in line with your chair. There is just that tiny fraction of greater

satisfaction. Perhaps it is because we are more at ease when a person speaking: to us looks straight at us, and the natural reaction is to have your radio follow out the same idea.

Of course, every transformer warms up to a small extent; but there is no denying the fact that modern set/designers have mastered the art of transformer construction. During a recent test in America a tenmetre telephonv station conversed with the utmost ease with an aeroplane firing overhead. The conversation was carried on until the aeroplane was fifty miles away. The transmitting outfit—both on the aeroplane and on the ground—weighed only a few pounds, and would have fitted with ease into a small attache There is no doubt that reception conditions have been—and will continue to be—very favourable.
