Could anybody, through your
radio column, please tell me what
station in Pennsylvania was broad
ing last Saturday night? The
program was broadcast from some
hote. md the music was very loud.
| could not quite understand the
can letters, because after each Sc
lection there was so much applause
and hollertng. The letters sounded
like WOT or WOW and the sta
ton was broadcasting on about
26S meters. 1t signed off at l:05
am. II sounded very much like
the "Nighthawks" at WDAF,
Kansas city. due to the loud noise
after each selection.
