the coming fall and winter, i plans
for super.power stations over rhele

At least half-dozen different
/ stations over there are getIln8
eniIlnment which will enable them
\ to use several times the power used
by any American stations Up 70
| the present time.
| Probably the most powerful Of
all the new stations will be located
at Herzogstand, Germany. where e
station capable of using 1vO kiio.

It IS expected that the new So 81.

winter. Much Of the work has
already been completed. The aerial

peaks and was originally erected Tor
code transmission. !.
| r,fher stations which ate jumping
/ their power are located at Koenigs
vl,sterhausen. Hanover. Dresden
and Kassel. The former win use
80 kiIowatts and the others 5 kllos
| watts. In other words the three
less powerful will use the same
power as the biggest American
stations ana the other two will use
Several times that amount.
Only two stations IN this country
are licensed to use moro than
| kiiowatts. They are WGY ut
| Schenectady and KDKA at Fits
/ burg, And these two PROBABLY use
no more than 5000 watts most Of
the time.
IN this connection git is interest

WCAP furnished an excellent
musical program last night headed
by the overture and the first act
Of "The Milxado." We enjoyed
the excerpt from the opera, but re-
ception was not ideal. though we
are not sure whether it was faulty
transmission or some trouble with
our set. It is difficult to pick an
opera OFF the stage and get every.
thing into the mike" without
echoes.
Judging from the comments
around our loud.speaker, the most
appreciated part Of the program
last night was the joint recital by
Dona Grey. soprano, AMI Jack
RuenitZ, baritone. accompanied by
Margaret Bowie Grant. The two
certainly put on an excellent bill
and we would like more of their OF.

Charley Benter's navy band gave
/ the evening a good start with one
of their best concerts. The concert
included an unusually attractive
set of numbers.
