I was reading an article in your
column last night by +. c. Gardiner
and / agree with him that there is
no reason for silent night. There
are nve or six methods for elimi-
mating interference and five or six
successful hook ups" that may be
used.
l also read the article by Charles
Shepard. 2d. and agree with him
that 1t is not amateur stations
that Col: Warfield hears. If you
are on the phone wave band (.36O
up) it Is absolutely impossible to
hear any amateur stations. neither
can you hear the "broadca sting
while on the lower band.
l am lover of radio golf. I love
to listen to far and near, but never
once have / been interfered with
by an amateur.
There are times when two or
more high-power commercial
transmitters' waves will chop a
distant wave to pieces or make it
unsatisfactory to a critic. but sell

operation of listener" and broad

that Is doing very good work.
There Is one thing that, If it eX-
lists I do not know, with an ordi-
nary receiver DIX and selectivity

l am not an amateur. 7 do not
know the code-I wish did; am
a listener.
I consider the amateur a "bee"
doing good work, which the United
States government recognizes; the
listener is a "drone"
