Suggestions
for Ground Plate
Charcoal Packed About Cop
per Sheet Makes Good
Ground, Expert Says. -
This department has had several
requests for the construction of
good radio ground for use in the
country where there is no water pipe
with which to make a connection.
As the ground is fully as important
as the aerial system, care should be
taken in making one. A good sized
piece of sheet copper is needed first.
This should be at least 18 inches
square.
Look around the yard and choose
a spot where the ground is most apt
to remain damp, and dig a hole there,
This hole should be from three to
four feet deep, in order to have the
ground retain its dampness during a
dry season. In order to make the
ground hold its moisture better, it is
a good plan to dump a bag of char
coal into the hole so that it is packed
about the copper plate. Charcoal
has the property of holding moisture
very well, and after it is in place pour
a couple of buckets of water over it.
Tight Connections.
Fill in the ground again, and pack
it down tight. Be sure that you have
a good heavy copper wire soldered to
the plate before it is buried; or, bet
ter yet, solder a length of copper tub
ing, such as is used for the gasoline
lines of an automobile. This will en
able the amateur to use the ground
for both the set and lightning pro
tector. Be sure to have all connections
tight and the ground plate buried
where the soil is wet or damp; usual
ly the north side of a house is the
best for this, as the sun does not get
in there to dry up the ground. If the
plate can be buried in a position to
get the water that runs off the roof,
it will be just that much much better.
The Grid Leak.
When your set howls like a hound
on a moonlight night and you have
tried 'without success to locate the
cause, just look over your grid leak.
A good type of grid condenser is
that which is made with a pencil line.
This type is easy to vary in that part
of the lines may be erased or . more
added to it, as is found necessary.
If the set howls do a little erasing.
If it does not work at all, add a few
lines.
Plans are under way for a nation
wide broadcasting station to use
radio in combination with the wired
telephone systems. Programs for
broadcasting are to be sent by means
of the wired lines to the broadcasting
stations. The phonograph record or
the telegraph record will some day
furnish the missing link.
A well known authority on ac
counting and federal taxation recent
ly gave a talk over KDKA at Chi
cago, and not thinking of the range
of that powerful station, offered to
answer any questions by mail. With
in the next few days he received 2,500
requests for information.
Questions
H. J. M., Fremont, Neb.
Q. Would you advise me adding a
variable condenser to my twin variometer
set? How many plates and where shall I
put them?
A. I would advise you to Incorporate a
variable condenser in your vario-coupler
twin variometer set. It can be either a
23 or a 43 plate variable. It should be
connected across the B battery and the
phones if the hook-up is Urehe type. An
other way is to connect the condenser
across the phones.
G. L. B., Hastings, Neb.
Q What is the difference between the
A and the B batteries of a vacuum tube
set?
A. The A battery Is the strange battery
that is used to light the filament of a
vacuum tube and is so called an A bat
tery becauae H la the first battery in the
circuit and because current In the plate
battery circuit will not flow till th A
battery has been turned on. The B bat
tery :a tne plate battery used to furnish
current to operate the plate circuit of the
vacuum tube. The B battery is also the
second battery to be Incorporated In a
vacuum tube set and so gets the name B
battery.
