“ The amateur, as usual, is found following closely behind the leaders. This latest development, by which an amateur with an aerial fifty feet high and two hundred feet long is able to hear Nauen and Hanover, Germany, is very pointedly covered in the article in this number of Q S T, which every good relay station owner should read. The audion has come to be very common in our stations all over the country, and this latest use of it will sure to be taken advantage of by the more prominent amateurs at first and then the smaller ones. ”

“ Amateurs should consider carefully what these different associations offer. If it is a subscription to some magazine, and he wants the magazine it is all right if he wants to pay the price asked, which is usually much in excess of the straight subscription price. ”

“ The remarkable distances which some stations can easily make, and the very practical plan suggested for running proof tests on regular trunk lines, all indicate the fast approaching importance of a Relay League. ”

“ From our experience, some ninety per cent. of the amateurs of the country feel that their equipment has several bad spots in it which they know should be improved in order to obtain the sending and receiving ranges which they ought to have. For some reason or other, these weak spots are allowed to go, and something big usually has to happen before enough excitement can be worked up to get at the job of fixing things up. ”

“ 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. ”

“ In Europe these Volunteer Motor Corps and other similar organizations have done incalculable good, and there is no reason why in our great country with its enormous area and its extended sea front, a large number of privately owned radio stations would not be of equal value. ”
