AN EVENING'S TRIP AROUND THE WHOLE UNITED STATES
By MILO SHUTT
I HAVE read the articles on " How Far Have you Heard?" with great interest and am sure the records which I have made will be of interest to the readers of RADIO BROADCAST.
My set has been in operation for about three months and I have not tried particularly to break any long distance records, but have tried to tune in, from my home in Alliance, Ohio, the different stations in consecutive order, beginning at either Schenectady or Boston and going down the Atlantic coast and the Gulf and following the stations westward until I stop at the Pacific Coast, which also includes the Canadian stations.
My idea has been to take a trip to the Pacific Coast, which requires me to stay at it until 1 130 or 2:30 A.M.
I like to listen-in on the proceedings of the
"Put a Tack" Club of Dallas and the "Radio
Bug" and " Night Hawk" clubs of Kansas City.
My outfit consists of a modified three-circuit
regenerative set using spider-web coils, which may be seen in the accompanying photographs. The price of the outfit by parts is as follows:
set Goodman coils and mountings 43-plate vernier condenser 23-plate vernier condenser
tube socket
ammeter
Bradleystat
series-parallel switch .... Dubilier grid leak and condenser 7 x 18x3-16 inch Radion panel
£6.50 3.80 2.90
.60 3.00 1.85
.85 1.50 i. 60
Total cost of parts, less tube and phones $22.60
The tuner consists of a Goodman spider-web mounting which I have arranged with a device for tuning from the front of the panel and is capable of vernier adjustment, thus allowing very fine tuning.
I find that the vernier condensers are a great help, especially in preventing interference from several stations broadcasting at the same time. I can set my outfit for WEAF, New York, and rotate the vernier on the 23plate condenser | of a turn to bring in WOC, Davenport, Iowa, have had very little interference from spark* stations.
A BIT OF GOOD WORKMANSHIP.
The designer of this set is a strong advocate of vernier adjustment for coils and condensers
