SHORT-WAVE RECEPTION
AERIAL VAGARIS. A LISTENER writing in an English a * :- "Working the other night on the American short-wave broadcast station2XAD, I found that I obtained a most marked improvement in signal strength by transferring the set from my own aerial, which, incidentally, is not « very long one, to 2 small counterpoise which I had had erected for transmission .7ork. The aerial is actually about 30ft. high, and is probably about 30ft: long, the down lead not being more than about 20 to 2dft. at the outside, since the set is located on the first floor, The counterpoise | consists of 20ft. length of wire carried horizontally about ift. from the wall, and is about 12ft. from the ground.* The lead to the counterpoise floes not go to one end of it, but is_ tapped on at about a-quarter the ‘way along. Using this instead of the aerial lead resulted in a very marked increase in signal strength on the very short waves,"
