Institute Membership
Consistent with th e Institute policy of en-
couraging amateurs to improve their technical
knowledge we have established different classes
of membership which will reflect the status of
th e member as measured by his class of ama-
teur license. S\VL's and other non-licen sed
members are Participating Members, Novice
licensees a rc Junior Members, Technician and
Conditional licen sees are Associate Members,
General Class are Regular Members, Advanced
Class licensees are Full Members, and Extra
Class licensees are Senior Members.
Charter Members should all have received
their Membership Card s and all should have
the lAB Gold Seal on them. This Gold Seal
will be placed on all renewal memberships
where there has been no lapse of mem ber-
ship. \ Ve have some interesting benefits for
Charter Members, but we cannot divulge them
yet because th is issue of 73 will be distributed
a few days before the dead line for Charter
Membersh ip closes on December 3 1, 1902.
We'll let you know next month when it is too
lat e to do a nytI ling abou t it. Note : LIFE sub.
scribers to 73 will au tomat ically b e enrolled as
Charter Members of the Institute.

Club Membership in the Institute of

Amateur Radio
Amat eur radio clubs may affiliate with the
Institute for a one year period by submitt ing
the followin g :
1 ) A com plete list of the members, including
calls, and th e officers of the club. Indicate
those that are subscribed to 73.
2 ) A registry fee of $2.00 must accompany
the appli cation.
3 ) A statement of ABBL or non-ARBL affilia-
tion must be included.
4 ) A list of all annual or regular club events
such as hamfcsts, picnics, dinners, etc., which
would be of e nough interest to be generally
a nnounced or which might require prize dona-
tions.
Advantages of dub a ffi liation:
1) Members whose names and calls appear on
the club rosters may suhscribe to 73 Magazine,
the official organ of th e In stitute, at a reduced
rate.

point the beam is blanked out and vertical re-

path, re turn ing the beam 10 the upper left hand

next field is begun the beam remains blanked
out until it reaches the cen ter of the screen.
At this point it comes on and the video is
presented on the screen. Beginning the retrace

field has the effec t of returning the scanning
beam to a point sligh tly higher than it was

vertical retrace is the same for each field but
when retrace is begun early th e beam does not

that it is higher is eq ual to one-half the distance
between successive scanning lines of the same
field . Because of this the scanning Jines for
the new field fall in between those of the old
one. This is called interlaced scanning. Con-
fused? Go back and read it aga in and think
about it awhile-eventually it will make sense.
Have a look at Fig. 10 10 see how the two
fields fi t together. In the American standard
svstem,
•
each field consis ts of 262Jt lines; two
fields making a frame. The field rate bein g 60
cps (which is fast ) elimina tes flicker and the
262~ lines per field red uces the bandwidth
required by a factor of two over that which
would be req u ired for a 60 cycle 525 line
system with no loss of quality. Ingenious, huh?
Our ten line composite signal now appears
as shown in Fig. 11.
Now this is starting to look like those pic-
tu res you've seen of the composite TV signal
in textbooks. There is just one more kind of
pulse we mu st ad d in order for it to corre-
spond d irectly. These arc the so called eq ual-
izin g pulses, or eq ualizers (sho wn dotted in
Fig. 11 ) . These are very narrow pulses wh ich
come at tw ice the horizontal scanning ra te and
so, fit midway between the horizontal sync
pulses on the vertical b lanking pulse (this is
the onl y place they a ppea r). My simple system
(which is obviously no t very practical ) has
room for only four eq ualizers b ut the standard
American system uses 12 or 13, depending on
which field you look at. T he mechanism b y
which these eq ualizers operate won't be talked
about here. Suffice to say that they serve to
insure stab le interlace. They make sure the
two fields fit together exac tly. One other thin g

SIDEBAND extends your range amazingly ... gives you VOX operation
. . . makes amplifiers extremely simple for higher power. SIDEBAND gets
through first when the band starts to open ... even works through aurora
flutter. Now you can go on sideband on six meters with the Hiverter with
utmost simplicity. You'll need a source of 20 meter sideband, the HI-
VERTER and a power supply. Any of the popular sideband exciters
or transceivers will give you the ten watts needed for the HIVERTER 50.
The $29.95 Heathkit HP20 power supply delivers the voltages needed:
600 vdc @ 150 ma., 300 vdc @ 60 rna., 130 vdc bias, and 6.3 vac @
2.65A.
The HIVERTER 50 will run about 50 watts PEP input (30 watts output)
on sideband, about 40 watts input on AM phone and 50 watts on CWo
You can work that CW DX and all the transceivers with this unit ... and
still be ready when th e band starts to open up to blast away on SSB.

of foul deeds. Ragged, low hanging clouds,
bent against the wind. High on the hill that
rose just outside th e village a single light

No one really knew the strange, clark man
who lived in the tottering ruin. He rarely
showed himself by day. Except for the aura
of evil that seemed to surround him he might
have been an object of pity. On his infrequent CANNED SWITCH
appearances he engaged in conversation with
no one nor bothered to answer those who
spoke to him. Always the single light shone
from the barren window until far into the
night.
I pondered these things in my mind as I

feeling of stark terror faded and my pounding
pulse returned to near normal. I began to
ascend the path toward the dark, forbidding
bulk of the house. At last I stood just below

As I cautiously stepped on each of the half
dozen sagging treads of the steps it seemed
that each one creaked more loudly than the
other. Fortunately the banging of a shuller
that swung ba ck and forth in the wind masked
the sound.
