could inform me what station
played Tel Captain" after 12
o'clock January Z. 1 got the music
clear and loud.
i got WGR. Buffalo; WBAw,
Canada. They were testing on
meters; the first was 400, then they
went on 800. which was not SO
good. The Bellevue-Stratford, in
Philadelphia, was on late. also
got Elgin, Ill, clear and loud, but
asking about all this one tube
work we are doing. This was all
alone on one tube Uv2O0-1s volts
B.B.-single circuit 125 feet to set.
I get Philadelphia, New York and
Pittsburgh in the day time. I get
speaker on one tube. and time and
time again 1 get Pittsburgh and
Chicago on the speaker
l am very much In favor OF a
silent night. All machine testing
must be done at night and testing
with so-called wave traps in the
circuit.
Your radio page is a treat. 1
never miss 1t, and there is no fault
to find with the articles from the

like the idea of jamming the air
with guessing games and useless
talks by local stations Let us have
one night to ourselves and then

Could some fan tell me where
station WHAD is located? L
heard the announcer say "This is
station WHAD-Nebraska."
I own three-tube set and have
pulled in many stations. 1 would
also like to know where / could
secure a list of the broadcasting
stations. l think a vote should be
taken in order to settle whether
a silent night should be had.

Would appreciate very much IL
some one could inform me through
the Radio News what the cali let-
ters of this station are. I tuned
Here Is what I heard: . CO.
lumbus, Ohio, is now signing off"
It was Monday. January z, at
11:10 pm.
Later on I was listening in to a
concert from some electric COM
pany at Montreal, Canada, but
could not get the call letters.
After each number of dance music
the announcer would tell Joke or
two.
Here's hoping the radio column
will grow so large that they will
soon have to make a separate sec
ton in The Star to publish all the
news. 1t would be a good idea to
publish about the stations and
their call letters in The Star
every evening for those who have
no call books. They could collect
these and mako their own books
