QST
FEBRUARY, 1916

numbers have been printed and distributed very widely without cost, so that the earnest effort could be demonstrated. Somebody has told us that QST will only serve to plunge us still further in debt since the amateurs of the country will not support anything. We do not believe it, however, and have bet the cost of printing for four issues, that by the time these four issues are out, the amateurs will have come forward and ordered enough List of Stations books, Appointed Certificates and subscriptions to QST, and that the manufacturers of wireless goods will also have co-operated by advertising.

Success is assured if there is enough of this come forward business. Have you done your coming forward?

VIOLATIONS OF RADIO LAW.

An indication of what may be expected if amateurs persist in operating a sending set without first taking out a Government license, or if a wave length in excess of 200 meters is used without special License, the following actions taken on the Pacific Coast. are of great interest:―

Each of these amateurs has been referred to the United States District Attorney for

prosecution.

Hadys Hancock, Venice Pier, Venice, Calif. was found to he using a wavelength in excess of 200 meters. Maximum penalty $100.

A Very Neat Station.

This shows how extremely neat a radio station may be arranged. Mr. Kleindienst of Webster, Mass. has spared no pains to make his station an efficient one. It is one of the neatest arrangements the Editor has ever seen. We are looking forward to the time when we will have more stations of this type. Everything about the station has a “man-size look” and is done in “Man-size” way. Take some suggestions from this picture.
