reference to a broadcasting station.
If within 25 mile of one. be can be
gin this fascinating same with little
expense in the arqtiiition of a crystal
ct or our similar to tne prire oi
fcred by The Bee.
But Few Essentials.
The eentals of a receiving set of
Mnall wave length are: Head
phone. $5 to $15; antenna. $2; vario
coupler, $5: switch for primary, 45
cents: condener, $125: crystal de
tector, $2. The foregoing may be
purchased at practically any radio
store, though shipments will nut be
promised immediately on account of
a shortage of radio equipment. The
radio editor of The ttte will assit
in advice about purchasing and set
ting up radio outlit.
For a clearer tone in receiving,
the vacuum tube supplants the crys
tal detector hecaue of its rnitive
tiess over long dataller. The crys
tal detector, however, is the logical
type for the biginucr.
To Change Set
It i neither necesary nor advis
able to mount these instruments on
an expensive front because the wire
less experimenter will desire to
change his set and add a vacuum or
audion detector. For best results in
setting, it is advUable to follow in
structions and diagrams as outlined
in practically any book on radio.
"The A. U. C. of Radio" is perhaps
the most instructive piece ot litera
ture on the subject.
In the near future, the radio edi
tor of The Bee will describe the
changes necessary to transform the
crystal set into a regenerative set.
