Loosely-Coupled Tuning In Radio Receivers
The article contrasts direct-coupled and loosely-coupled tuning for radio receivers. It notes direct tuning is simple and user friendly but suffers from jamming and limited selectivity, while loosely-coupled tuning offers higher selectivity but is more complex and requires precise adjustments to achieve resonance, risking missed distant or low-power signals for beginners.
Aperiodic Tuning Promises Simple Efficient Reception
The article explains aperiodic aerial tuning using a fixed aerial coil over the secondary, with a single tuning adjustment via a compensator. It highlights reduced interference from stations, suitability for short waves, and the Unitune Aperiodic Coupler in two sizes for 75 to 180 metres and longer wavelengths, noting advantages for portable receivers and broad aerials.

A December fire near Boogan damaged cane on farms owned by G Coco & Co and G Bombara. Sparks from burning trees ignited dry timber and about 1280 tons of cane were lost, with 480 acres burned and uninsured cane totaling around 400 tons. Investigators note no clear fault, deeming the blaze accidental and arising from wind and nearby burns. The loss runs to £873 14s 9d, with insurance covering part of the insured cane.
