STATIC NOT YET CONQUERED

ENGINEER
A genera] talk on radio inter
ference and the usual methods
of correcting o r eliminating j
them, was given last night to!
Seward radio fans by an expert j
on the subject, Mr. W. J. Wag
ner, civil service representative
of the radio engineering depart
ment of the Alaska communica- ■
tion system, now in Alaska sup- j
ervising construction of several j
governmental stations.
Mr. Wagne.r who has helped
many communities ‘‘clean up the .
air,” interested his audience by j
telling how this is done. “The J

causes for interfenrenoes, or un- j
desirable noises, as this is call- j
ed among technicians, are de- j
fined in three classes; <1* squea- ;
lers, (2) general noise- by various |
electrical apparatus, and sta-1
liC.”
Static, he said, has not yet'
of course been conquered by
man, but there are definite ways j
of eliminating the other two dis- j
turbihg factors. The squealer is j
first located, and the set cheek- j
ed to determine whether it is
simply out of adjustment, or is
an obsolete set on which remod
eling would be too expensive to
be practical. Usually the owner
of the offensive set is willing to |
make the correction himself, but 1
in some cases it is necessary to I
require him to do so by law, {
which method never fails pi'ovid- j
ing the city has an ordinance J
which may be applied.
General noises, caused by mot- !
ors, etc., are readily eliminated
by proper adjustment of the dis- j
turbing device, or by applying to j
it appropriate filters or grounds |
for such purpose.
Mr. Wagner advised all set
owners before complaining to
test their sets to determine
whether they are obtaining good
ground connection. This is done,
he explained, buy tuning in on a
station, then remove the ground
wire and note whether the sig
nal decreases. To test whether
objectionable noise is created
outside of your own set, remove
both ground and antennae con
nections and note whether noise
remains; if it does, the noise is
probably within the set itself, j
If it clears up, or the noise dim- j
inshes considerably, the noise is j
probably coming thru the anten
nae or ground. When tests prove j
a poor ground connection is had,!
steps should be taken immedi- j
ately to improve it, as this con- !
nection is most vital. Steam pipes
ordinarily do not make good
grounds, nor do pipes or rods!
driven into ground that is sub
ject to freezing. Frost or ice, he
said, acts as insulators. The
practice of setting ground con- !
nections in cesspools has proven j
very satisfactory.
The length of an ten . e. is a I
matter of experiment in each in
dividual case, it being known, of !
course that the longer the, an- j
tennae the more increased will ■
be the noise. He recommended ,
that antennae wires be put up
as high as possible, and that j
they do not parallel any other ;
wires. Also, that they be aligned i
in the direction to the station de- i
sired, and the lead in, come from j
the end towards the broadcast
ing point. The final length and
type must be determined by ex
periment.
In concluding, Mr. Wagner said
that in general there are no set,
rules that can always be follow
ed, and much experiment will
usually have to be resorted to.
He urged every radio listener
to become a member of the Ra
dio Club in his town, and to get
together frequently for the bet
terment of radio reception.

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by ening an account with us.
