RADIO RECORD "ADAPTER"

‘. R. Hogg, Wanita, Greymouth :- I noticed in last ‘Radio Record’? where Mr. Pierce, Wellesley Club, had heard Argentina on September 25. I wonder if he is not mistaking it for RFN, Siberia, U.S.S.R. His time and description of the programme seem to tally with the one I received the same evening, ‘The twice the announcer gave his call during the evening (25th) in very broken English, I caught the following: "Haloa, haloa-U.S.S.R." (given very slowly), ‘‘Broadcasting,"’ and something which sounded like "Riva" and ""Goot-bye."’? I receive him most evenings I happen to tune in. Last Sunday he wag pretty strong. I took a complete log of their programmes on the following dates: September 24 and 25 and October 6. A feature of the programme is the long and tedious lectures, but the vocal items are good. It might ke of interest to mention that the set I use (with only minor alterations) is an adapter assembled after the adapter circuit you published in "Radio Record’? (August), and 1 must say it is quite a success, This plugged into a Counterphase eight gives very good volume on the speaker, I find that using an illuminated dial is vety convenient, not only in showing up the dial, but as a telltale on the unit, also a Rheo 20 ohm, My thanks are due to your paper for introducing the idea,
