THE TRANSMITTING SET OF AN AMERICAN RADIO RELAY LEAGUE STATION OWNED BY MR. J. WEISS PORT WASHINGTON, L. I.

This is not a picture of an infernal machine, but a picture of a very efficient station of the American Radio Relay League.

The sending set is located at a distance from the operating room and controlled by a number of relays shown in the photograph. The oscillation transformer, rotary gap, and condenser are well arranged with short, direct, conductors. This is one of the secrete of the success of Mr. Weiss in long distance transmission. Last winter he repeatedly worked 400 and 600 miles on one kilowatt. On one occasion Mr. Weiss sent a relay message to Waynesfield, Ohio; from there it was sent to Superior, Wisc. While we have no direct evidence, the officers of the League believe the message reached San Francisco and in one evening. The League needs more stations like this. Come Mr.Amateur, get your stations working efficiently. If one man can do this why can't the rest?
