Sometimes a -rystal detector, with a normal range of less than 50 miles, will pick up a station 300 or 400 miles away; or a single electron tube will bring in loudly some minor station located half way across the con- tinent. Such abnormal occurrences are called “freaks.” As an. illustration of this, WHA, at Madison, Wis., was ‘ard constantly last’ winter on tube rs of minimum sensitiveness in ork, 800 miles distant. WHA is a tion, but many others equally as never been New Y good sta good and much nearer hi heard by the same rece carrying power in 1 this direction must be considere The actual cause of freak transmission ot definitely known, but it seems to be due to the reflection or refraction of the radio waves. ‘These waves are like light aves, except that they are much longer. s—the images of scenes many miles away formed in desert places by the refraction of the light waves by several layers of quiet air of varying temperatures, and it is likely that the course of radio waves is often changed in a similar manner. AY ARCONT recently demonstrated the 4° reflection of radio w He placed a short copper rod, which forn the aerial of a small transmitter, in the focus of a parabola made up of similar copper rods. The “mirror,” thus found, reflected the transmitter waves very well, as was plainly demonstrated by rotating the “mirror” and allowing it to focus on a receiver connected to a loud speaker across the room. Obviously a mountain, a group of buildings, or even a bank of clouds behind a broac ng station may 30 similarly affect the signals being sent out, and direct a narrow beam of radio wave for immense distances. Of course when either refraction or reflection concentrates the signals certain. points they equally eliminat them from other points. This is probably one of the reasons wh: ain stations - clearly heard, are at times. in- With so many receivers in operation it should be an easy matter for scientists t« compile statistics as to unusual effects of this sort and thus definitely clear up some of the many mysteries surrounding radio. WGY HERE is one v n the ether that is very different from all the rest. It is deep and sonorous with none of the hardness of tone that characterizes many other stations. Its contralto-like quality is mistakable. As soon as the listener tunes it in, he knows he is hearing WGY, the General Electric Company's station at Schenectady, N. Y. WGY is one of the few 1000-watt stations. Its normal range is north throughout eastern Canada, west to Wisconsin, and south to the Gulf; but it has been frequently heard on the on one occasion on a detector bulb without amplification.
