OODLBY. America's foremost Radio Authority. Many campers this summer will take radio outfits as part of their camp equipment They will be wise in so aoing, lor i can Imagine no place where a radio aIll be more desired, particularly during the occasional inclement weather which Is bound to come during a vacation period. During these spells nature's electrical Interference may sometimes prevent the satisfactory reception of signals. But the In- V- QODLEY terference will only be temporary- (luring the rest of the time the camper will be able to get the weather forecasts, time signals, baseball scores and other broadcasted material.

Due to the nature of the terrain, the erection of the antenna frequently offers serious difficulties, particularly If it is necessary to receive the radio reports from a great distance. Kite. Aerial. It trees of fair height are available, they may servo as antenna supports. But it they are not, kltea may be used for holding the antenna wire aloft.

At the seashore, on the lakes or In the mountains, there Is seldom a time when breeze of some kind is not blowing, and there Is a kite for every breeze. I hav known many amateurs who have found no end of pleasure in selecting two or three kites, each of different size. These are of the "tall-less" variety, sometimes known as Ml ib r.n.cnt Ti ve r. 2 PER CENT MEN, 27 PER CENT CLOTHES Los Angeles, June 2.

Our new library la nearln' com- an' it's almost purty enough a fijlln $tatlon, I Abe Martin ii "eddy" kites. 1 have purchased them In any number of toy shops or station ery stores at prices ranging from five cents to a quarter each. A light breeze calls foi a kite "string" consisting of No. 28 bar copper wire, while the heaviest wind may call for something considerably stronger, for example, No. 18 bar copper wire.

A little experiment with the breeze, the, kite (or kites, for these may be flown very handily In tandem) and the wire, will soon en able one to run up an antenna with a surprising minimum of delay. Antenna such as these have been kept aloft for periods of several days, although the best practice Is to reel In 'the 200 or more feet of wire as soon if It has served Its purpose. Antennae supported by kites have been very successfully used for the reception of signals from European high-power and semi-high-power sta tions. Under these circumstances, as much aa 1000 or more feet of wire may be fed up Into the sky. With an antenna of such excellent characteris tics as to height, surprisingly strong signals may be received with even the simpler types of vacuum tube re ceivers.

Ground connection may be made by stretching a wire 300 feet long over the surface of the earth In a direction away from the station which It Is desired to receive. ffi RADIO PRIMER STATOR That part of a variometer or variocoupler which Is station ary.
