The Electrical experimenter

he is glad he wasn't aboard the good ship
"Hardship," as they shoot men in %vartime
for sleeping on duty. He was right
on deck tho, all the time, and the writer
could clearly read his calls to 9 ZF and
answers to the boys east.
The boys of the San Francisco Radio
Club also made splendid reports, as did
also our College Professors, who are always
with us.
.4 perfectly legal report was also received
from a staid old lawyer in Jacksonville,
Fla., who prefaced his letter with
the remark that he was not trying for a
prize, but being a "Radio-Bug." he just
could not keep still.
A well known D. D. S. in Elmira, also
sent in a very complete report and called
it a great night's work.
I just compared two interesting letters
from one amateur.
79/6. He was diligently stabbing a piece
of galena and complaining about his fibrator
sticking on his one inch coil. Said
he did not get M.S.G. but thought he m'ould
report anyway.
igi/. He sent me a list of stations he
hears, as long as your arm, and Itc is non'
sporting a one K.W. and working as a star
relay station, 1,000 niiles being as nothing
to hint. I heard him from my station—
clear, quick sending: prompt businesslike
signatures, and abbreviations that
went clear over my head. "The world
do move!"
PRIZE 'WINNERS.
Mr. E. B. Duvall and Mr. A. P. Smith
are awarded the prize of the Electro Importing
Company-—their '.Xauen POZ" Radio
Receifiug Set! These young men
operate jointly the Radio Station. 3 AK.
in Baltimore. Md. This prize is awarded
for the quickest delivery of both messages,
and particularly in being on the job
for the return M.S.G. Xo one but the
sending stations east of 9 ZF knew when
the east bound M.S.G. was coming thru.
If this had been a real emergency call for
Government help on 200 meters, these
san-e fellows would have landed the message
just the same. Congratulations to
them.
SECOND PRIZE.
Mr. W. B. Pope. 4 .A.A, of .Athens,
"Geyser" Electric Water Heater

Georgia, is awarded the Professional Wave
Meter, donated by the Electro Importing
Company of New York. It was awarded
for long distance reception, prompt business-like
delivery, and for perfect indexing,
timing and marking both east and
westbound messages, received in approved
commercial style. From a study of the
Q.R.M. map, he was seriously handicapped
on both messages, and is heartily congratulated
by the writer and all good radio
"sports."
THIRD PRIZE.
Kenneth Briggs of Rochester, N.Y., 8
MG. whom you all remember as almost
catching up with C. E. Hughes, the presidential
candidate, with a copy of the Relay
Message on October 27th, 1916, is
awarded the One K.W. Thordarson Transformer,
donated again by the Thordarson
Transformer Company of Chicago,
thru their Mr. Connors. Mr. Briggs is
congratulated on his persistency, good receiving,
prompt delivery and true American
spirit, as he showed not the least
jealousy toward several who were working
against him. The Q.R.M. map showed
marked interference, particularly on westbound
messages, and he can thank the
Q.R.T. of \V. C. Ballard, ."r.. at Cornell
College, 8 NU, for giving him the chance
to win this prize. I hope he will perfect
his sending apparatus, and line up with the
Q.R.M. League.
FOURTH PRIZE.
Scott High School of Toledo, Ohio, is
awarded the William B. Duck's celebrated
.-Irlington Tuner: for long distance recep-
tion with moderate apparatus ; diligent and
persistent listening for the return message
and very complete business-like report.
Leander L.
FIFTH PRIZE.
Hoyt of Hayward. Cal., 6 SI,
is awarded the Chambers Xo. 74Q tuner for
the reception of arc and spark signals.
This prize is awarded for the long distance
work and incessant effort to line the boys
up in that neighborhood to a realization
that, for once. California would be put on
the Relay Map. Mr. Hoyt, besides, turned
in one of the most wonderful and complete
reports on everything of importance that
happened, from the moment the westbound
M.S.G. left New York, until the eastbound
message arrived in the same city. The absence
of jealousv shows he is a real man
an .American—and one from whom we will
hear more later on. To satisfy you all. we
will publish this report in this magazine, if
Mr. Ho\-t's permission to do so may be obtained
later. We most earnestly hope Mr.
Hoyt will not find as much real cause for
worry when listening in on the wave
lengths from 6.000 meters uf as he heard
during the relay from 600 meters down.
California is surely lined up now for good
work with such ellows as 6 EA for sending
L.D. and 6 SI for detail work. Mr.
Hoyt will make a valuable addition to the
Q.R.M. League.
SIXTH PRIZE.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Candler—S
you all know and have heard,
NH. whom
are located
in St. Mary's. Ohio, but their "Sigs." do
not stay at home. During the Presidential
Relay, this station received six hard-earned
credits and later stated that their transformer
was not working right. They surely
proved this during the last relay, as
their "Sigs." were everywhere, and if it had
not been for this station, lots of stations
south and west would never have received
the Westbound M.S.G. at all. Some who
did not know 8 NH was suoposed to help
on relay, reported him as Q.R.M. When
you all get your stations arranged so that
you can Q.R.M. boys 1.000 miles away, you
are sure on the trail of efficient long distance
work.
This station is awarded the prize of the
