MR. MCMILLER S PANEL ARRANGEMENT
Controlling the B battery from the panel is a great convenience
So back to the North I went to get a serenade from WLAG, Minneapolis, as 1 passed over on the way to KDKA at Pittsburgh and then on to WRL, Union College at Schenectady, N.Y. This completed the Eastern part of my trip, and I started back, stopping at Indianapolis with the Hatfield Electric Company and hearing WWJ, the Detroit News, while I waited. My next and last stop was back in the Central West, where the mountains hold a station designated as DN4 operated by the Colorado National Guard at Denver, a beauty spot 640 miles from my home.
" My first evening's journey is completed and only a memory now, but while I have lengthened my trips and have spent more time at each of my stops, my first evening will always be the best that I ever took because of the thrill and enjoyment it gave me."
THE STANDINGS OF CONTESTANTS PREVIOUSLY UNMENTIONED
THE single-circuit regenerative receiver seems to be leading in the contest, and the great number of letters we have received and the great distances being covered have made it necessary for us to increase the minimum number of aggregate miles to 15,000.
Mr. Leonard B. Robinson, 537 Hillside Ave., Glen Ellyn, Illinois has an aggregate mileage of 30,430.
Mr. R. A. Riggs of Vevay, Indiana has an aggregate of 22,045 miles.
Mr. George J. Schottlerof Dexter, Minnesota aggregates 16,790 miles.
We rather expected to find that the users of the Rheinhartz circuit would stand well to the front in this contest, but the best single distance made by any contestant using that circuit is 1,325 miles, and there is no aggregate mileage as high as 15,000.
With a standard loose-coupler, Mr. Edwin H. Sands, State Housing Commissioner at Des Moines, Iowa, has been able to pile up an aggregate mileage of 25,835, this with a nonregenerative receiver.
v The Aeriola Seniors are standing up very well. Mr. W. J. Buckley of Fairfax, Oklahoma has an aggregate mileage of 19,030. His best single jump is 1,425 miles.
Mr. A. B. Johnson, Garfield Ave., DuBois, Pa. has an aggregate mileage of 17,375 with the best single jump of just 1000 miles.
The best report from Aeriola Senior operators we have received so far comes from Mr. A. R. Ackerman, who has received directly from Los Angeles at his home in Nashville, Tennessee. This is 1800 miles.
Mr. L. W. Carlisle, of Lisbon, North Dakota has come so close to the aggregate mileage necessary that we just can't overlook him. His aggregate is 14,795.
STANDARD REGENERATORS
REPORTS from users of standard regenerative receivers are fairly good. John R. Corrish of Bridge St., Monson, Mass, aggregates 18,465 miles with 1,500 miles as his best single jump.
Mr. C. L. Hobart of Grant's Pass, Oregon reports an aggregate of 45,580, his best single jump being 1,275 miles.
VARIOMETER REGENERATORS
THE best report from the users of a variometer regenerator receiver is from Maury Simmons, 2700 Darien St., Shreveport, La., whose aggregate is 36,250 with 1 300 miles as his best single jump.
