Announcement of a new experimental short wave transmitter, to be known as station WIXJ, was made yesterday by H. R. Mimno, professor in the department of Physics. The set has been under construction for some time in the Cruft Laboratory, and will be completed by the end of next month...
...station will be used to carry on experiments for the measuring of the effective height of the ionized region of the gases above the earth. This area is known as the Kennelly-Heavy-side Layer, and is the principal cause of fading in radio sets. This region refracts radio waves, and fading is caused by the collision of the wave, which is moving along the surface of the ground and the wave which has been refracted...
Professor Dawes has been conducting extensive experimental research in the field of short wave radio control. Another feature of the meeting will be an explanation of the work of the A.I.E.E...
...General Beauregard, had been assigned to a battery on James Island. At the height of the bombardment Col. Wigfall commandeered a skiff and two Negroes, ordered them to row him to Fort Sumter.
