Beverage, research engineer, Radio Corporation of America, writing in a publication issued by his company, reveals Capacity Grovmo Some interesting data in connee- tion with the above subject. He had difficulty in providing a good ground at his own ama- teur station owing to the dry, sandy soil. There was a small pond near the antenna, but not under it. A ground connection obtained in this pond by running several hundred feet of wire into it showed an antenna resistance of 60 to 70 ohms at wave lengths of 200 to 800 meters. This high resistance was undoubtedly caused by the antenna flux beirg forced to travel a considerable distance through very high re sistance soil: before reaching the low resistance ground wires in' the pond. Me. Beverage decided to in- stall a counterpoise of four No. 14 B and S. copper wires run- ning parallel with the antenna flat top and directly beneath it, the parallel counterpoise wires being four feet apart and care- fully insulated. The ecounter- : also extended several feet goie the ends of the antenna. When this counterpoise was sub- stituted for the ground, the an- tenna resistance was reduced from approximately sixty ohms to ten ohms. Continuing the ex- periment and combining the counterpoise and the ground, as. shown in the accompanying dia- gram, the antenna resistance was further reduced to four ohms. The resistance of the helix used to tune this antenna was three ohms, thus making a total of seven ohms. The above values were taken with a wave length of 280 meters. The method of tuning this ¢ombination will be | shown in the next installment of these series. The purpose of these grid leaks is to limit the potential ac- cumulating on the grid of an os- cillating tube, and thus govern the output to the antenna, and also the character of the antenna oscillations. These resisters consist of a sisting silicate compound body with the editor by mail? conductor wound upon a heat re- | APPARATUS DEVICES By RALPH BROWN, RADIO ENGINEER TRANSMITTING GRID LEAKS. extreme temperature changes without becoming cracked, weak- ened or in any way injured. After being wound upon this compound it is emoed ied in a blue vitrous enamel which is fused to a dense, glassy struc- ture at a temperature of about 1,000 degrees Centigrade. A metal foot is provided at each end of the grid leak to which the resister windings are con- nected and through which exter. nal connections are made. In addition, a mid tap is provided for securing half of the resist- ance. They are made in two sizes, the smaller for tubes of 5 watts and the larger for power tubes developed to resist sudden and I from 50 to 250 watts, Will readers interested in these radio articles kindly communicate From the Countryside _ Frontenac | BATH ROAD.
