By rae Ranto Enron A New Aerial At a recent meeting in the United States, the service manager of one of the largest radio companies an-pounced that aerials should be renewed annually. He said that no matter how good an corial array was, it was bound to deteriorate at the joint and other points and give adverse results. The trouble is particularly noticeable when an efficient modern receiver is employed. Having had to take down my own aerial—now about eight months old—in order to reinstall it over my present abode, I can quite believe that in another four months it will be most inefficient, for the wire is dirty, fraying st one or two points and has even stretched slightly; the latter defect is particularly noticeable on the spaced lead-in, one wire of which has stretched at least quarter of an inch.
