Would you kindly tell me what
station was broadcasting Friday
between and 7:30 pm? The an
nouncer seemed to be reading a
list of children's names Every
now and then he would stop and
say: That's 1872 names already
and every one will get nice doll
or something" Then he would
read more names and stop and
ask for water. We were trying a
new crystal set with a very large
and heavily wrapped coil and am
anxious to know what station il
was Before the call letters were
announced WRC came in and that,
of course. cut US off.

A wave trap will not aid you in
bringing in the distant stations if
you are having no difficulty in tuning
out the local stations. The wave
trap viii diminish somewhat the sig
nal strength of the out-of-town sta

Radio Editor:
Regarding the criticism of c.
c. Murphy in Saturdays star
there is undoubtedly many inter
esting and instructive things of
interest TO every one to which you
could devote a portion of your
column. However I am not in
favor Of eliminating the Inquiries
and answers regarding stations
heard.' These items often answer
questions in my own mind which
l DO not have time to answer.

Radio Editor:
I am of the same opinion as
c. c. Murphy. l have a three
tube set and get great distance,
and keep data on all stations that
i pick up, but there are many
that I do not get their station
letters. But I do not worry the
radio fans about what station was
, broadcasting at such and such an
hour. I think ii would be a good
idea II we told through your radio
column Of our hook-ups and way
to improve them. and then perhaps
We would be able to get all the
stations loud and clear Let us
help each other.
