AMATEURS’ TESTS NEW SEAM ANGLE [ United Service. ] NEW YORK, Oct. 31. A message from Hartford (Connecticut) states that radio amateurs in Australia and the United States will part’cipate in an interesting experience at two o’clock in the morning of November 1 (Eastern standard time), when tests of transmission between the two continents will be made on a ten metre wave length. The trials, which arc sponsored by the American Radio Relay League, will last for one week. The principal difficulty on a ten-metre length is in the angle uf the beam, and Air E. C. Crossett, of Chicago, has erected a new transmitter at his summer home at Wianno (Massachusetts) from which the tests will be made. Instead of the angle being varied horizontally, the beam is variable on a vert’ nl plane. The direction r- the great circle to Australia, and it is fixed metrically so as to shoot the beam off on a long tangent, practically parallel to the surface of the earth or to any angle up to \ertical. The angle of the beam will be varied constantly in an attempt to find the angle at which communication mt-y be established with Australia. on a legu’..; basis.
