heard the others repeating it, on the way east and when Wheeling, W. Va. did his sending, he had the message good enough so as not to bother with taking it down any more. When we hear, from the Pacific Coast stations, we expect to find still more surprising things. Somebody has predicted that as a result of this relay demonstration, we will be able to get all the way across the Continent in two relays, that is, three stations.

This Means You. An Important Suggestion

You are respectfully requested to discontinue transmitting during the Q. S. T. Reports of the Naval Stations. These reports are sent out every four hours. Complaint has already been made to the Navy Department that much QRM has been given during the Time Signals of N. A. A. and the weather and obstructions reports of the NA-Stations. Further notice has been brought to the use of excess power at other periods. Please advise ALL Amateurs to heed this warning and QRX. Safety first. 3TQ.

The Publishers of “QST” wish to express their thanks to Mr. Andrews for bringing this to their attention. QRM during these periods is a very serious affair and the LEAGUE can do no more than most earnestly recommend than every amateur adopt this rule of Keeping Out during these important periods.—Editor.

MR. FLANDERS OF BOSTON, SAYS:

I have received all the “QST’s” and appreciate the magazine. It gives one such delightful little glimpses of the amateur “as he is.”

ERRATA

 The word Amplifier should be substituted for the word Audion in the fifth line of the

AMERICAN RADIO RELAY LEAGUE STATION 8ZI

 We have, in Mr. Roy C. Burr’s station, one of the best east of the Rocky Mountains. This station which is located in Norwalk, Ohio, has probably done more relaying than any other station along The American Radio Relay League Trunk Lines. The smaller illustration shows a two kw. rotary quenched gap designed by Mr. Burr. With this gap, Mr. Burr radiates 5½, amperes on a short wave, with a 460 cycle note. Using 880 watts input, this station has worked 900 miles. A complete description of the gap will be published in an early issue of “QST.”
