xiv FOREWORD reading this book you will absorb a knowledge of the most delightful of all the sciences. The author, Mr. Charles William Taussig, is one of the pio- neer radio amateurs of this country. He continues to be as ar- dent a radio enthusiast as he was in the beginning; his knowl- edge of the subject is unquestioned; he lists among his friends many of the prominent men in radio, and consequently the information he presents is authentic and up to the. minute. Mr. Taussig is peculiarly fitted to present the subject of popular radio, due, as stated before, to the fact that he is completely in sympathy with the problems and ambitions of radio amateurs and listeners. Having read his book, I feel sure that you will find it highly entertaining and instructive. You will then be in a position to laugh at an inquiry recently received by the radio editor of a local newspaper. A particular listener, who had recently joined the ranks of radio fans, was having trouble receiving his favorite broadcasting station on 360 meters. His inquiry read something like this,—"Dear sir: My receiver has been giving me trouble in getting the broadcasts during the last few days. Do you think my 360 meter wavelength is worn out? If so, please tell me where I can buy a new one, and how much it will cost." James C. Edgeeton Superintendent of Radio, Post Office Department
