Caterwaul Cures
Many and Varied
Here are Clues
That’s not a cat with its tail
caught in a wringer—that noise
you complained of last night. Mr.
Radio fan.
Nor is it static.
It’s just Old Man Obsolescence
sneaking up on the innards of
your radio set, if you’ll believe
1 Technical Sgt. A. M. Herren
(CA).
“When you demand first class
performance, you must keep
your set in first class condition,”
Herren explains.
Microphonic tubes, loose con
nections, faulty or leaky conden
sers, etc., may be at fault with
the set. Have ’em fixed.
Or a loose connection in an
tenna or lead-in may give a noise
like a war in China. A drop of
.solder will fix that plus tighten
ing of all connections.
A GOOD SET HELPS!
You can't make a silk purse
out of a sow’s ear.
Nor opines co-columnist 1st
Sgt. Robert B. Woodside (Air
craft Warning), can you expect a
tiny competition set to give pro
fessional performance.
Good reception, Wodside in
sists, calls for a good receiver.
And cutting corners on costs is
penny wise, pound foolish.
A good commercial receiver,
selling l'or about the same price
as a broadcast receiver (but with
fewer fancy mahogany trim-,
mings), is fine for those who
wish quality and d'stance.
It will receive on all wave
lengths, Woodside explains.
What’s more, stations that are
scrambled together into a pot
pourri of caterwauling on an or
dinary receiver can be separated
by “side-band tuning” . . . sep
arated a't cleanly as dollars in
Angus McSwizzle’s purse.
GO AIR EXPLORING!
Commercial receivers are de
signed for shortwave b'casting.
and get KGEI and shortwave sta
tions around the world . . . easy
. .. like an Anchorage belle col
lecting soldier smiles.
So, when you’re tired of lis
tening to b'cast band shows,, you
can tunc in on backstairs gossip
of amateurs, fishermen, ships,
airways, weathermen, and may-'
he even your pals back home.
There’s code, too (but maybe!
! only Signaleers want to bother
( with code in the head — ’scuse,
please!).
Other sources of interference,;
St. Sgt. Herren explains, are el-1
' ectric motors, razors and auto ig j
nition systems. These noises can j
be eliminated by proper filters at!
j the device . • . gadgets available,
at any radio shop.
Neighbors’ receivers sometim
! es may be the kind that squeal
loudly every time they tune thru
the frequency on which you are
tuned. (But you can’t put a filter
in a neighbor!) —It takes mutual
cooperation.
Finally, there’s natural static . . j
storms . . . Old Man Winter’s1
doodling with the earth’s mag
netic machinery Frequency mod
ulation, now in operation in a
few States’ stations, ends this,
Herren said.
Here’s the weeks’ nomination

CAA Pilot
Trainees “Hitting
Jerries Hard”
WASHINGTON — Two-third
of the American Eagle Squadron j
in England learned to fly in the |
Civil Aeronautics Administra
tion's pilot training program, ac
cording to word received by the
CAA from Pilot Officer Harold
Strickland, a Chicagoan now sta
tioned at London as a member of j
the American Eagle Squadron, i
RAF.
Strickland says he find it “am
azmg” that many of the boys
who are now “hitting the Jerries!
hard . . hopped off on their first;
snh flight in a CAA Cub about 12
months ago—and today can fly a
tight formation, in Hurricanes in
the clouds.”
E :imh a sizing the important les-1
son to the American military ford
es of "mans wartime aviation.",
Strickland stated that “it’s a good
thing that a reservoir like the
CAA is set up for them to draw j
from as a starter.”
The CAA training program, be
gun in 1939. has fed more than
10,090 of its students to the Army
and Navy air forces and, in all,
has created more than 55.000 new
pilots. Almost 15,000 students are
currently enrolled at more than
500 co leges_ and other centers.
Asserting that "I have seen no
thing that reflects on the CAA
courses,” Strickland cites this ex
ample of performance by CAA
graduates with the American
Eagles:
“Yesterday we were on a
Squadron search at altitudes. At
25,000 fleet we went into a tight
formation and flew through the
clouds, then let down. When we
made contact we were all in cor
rect positions.”
mising voice:
The idea and accents belong to
Sgt. Bill Barnard (Air Corps)
who KFQD's news to the ADC
men of the Defense Command
each. Friday night in 790 kc.
Bill, believe it. was warming
up tor grand opera and concert
with his mellow baritone when
the national emergency beckon
ed to him to wear the uniform in
Alaska. Try and earful of his
voice Friday night.

ANTENNA TIPS
AID AIR FANS
The old fashioned outside an
tenna is in style again.
To be honest, it was never out
—in Alaska.
In the States, according to 1st
Sgt. Robert Woodside, (Aircraft
Warning), the trend has been to
loop antennas hidden in the in
nards of the set.
In Alaska, however, better dis
tant reception comes through the
use of a good outside antenna.
Get it up. Insulate it well. Use
the best ground connection you
can get (since it helps to shush
the frying).
And, if you can, Sgt. Woodside
urges, run the wire north and
south or northeast and southwest
to get the most ‘oomph” from
the states.

Tula still raged. A British broadcast said the German advance v..»
being held up short of Korn hilovgral (2) as Russian dispute

GERMAN DRIVE INTO CRIMEA TWO-PRONGED
ROSTOV i
I
The German high command said that the Nazi drive yito the Crimea through Perekop Isthmus had
riven the Russian Army, forcing it to attempt flight through Sevastopol anti Kerch. Earlier, tier
mans claimed capture of Simferopol and were headed for Bakhchisarai,, 20 miles north of Sevasto

Isthmus with a double-pronged drive on Rostov and on the Black Sea port of Novorssisk.
