pleased to know the location OF these
stations-Frank E. Scrivener.

Radio Editor:
Can you, through your radio query
column, give me the call letters of
the station which broadcast from
midnight to / o'clock a musical pro-
gram from a million dollar theater2 2
! The announcer's voice was so low 1
could hear no more until the music
began to play. ] use an inside aerial.
Mrs. J. D. v.
AS you do not mention the night
you heard this program 1t is exceed
ingly difficult to identify the station.
The million dollar theater announce
ment leads the radio editor to believe
the program came from the Mark
Strand Theater, in New York City.
! Radio Editor:
This refers to Mr.. ]. E. Gassin's
| g,o Af ha
Star, January 20, in response to mine
of earlier date. I do not believe that
he has tried to evade seeing Mr..
Goodall and 1 believed at hrst and
believe now that his business en-
gagements make 1t really difficult
for him to be home evenings. How
ever, he must realize that this never
| theless operates against the amateur.
Many readers of this column are led
to believe from his letter that anna
| teurs are the cause of interference
that actually arises from commercial
and Government stations and his in
ability to be home operates against
them.
Mr.. Gassin says he asked sincerely
for help. This was offered to him
sincerely and promptly the same
evening and he was unable to max Q
use of it. The amateurs are usually
pressed for time, many of US are
quite busy and to visit his station
means personal sacrifice. I secured
the services of Mr.. A. B. Goodall to
help in the matter. Mr.. Goodail Is
an amateur, but do not let the title
amateur" nislead. In Mr.. Goodall
Mr.. Gassin would have the services
of trained expert OF unusual ability
who has more than a local reputation.
When Mr. Gassin knows Mr.. Goodall
,he will indorse all can say Of him
/ want Mr.. Gassin to listen on my
set and hereby invite him to make me
a visit. I have probably one of the
most highly selective regenerative
circuits available and 7 believe that
IL he accepts my invitation he will
write you again.4 Lam leaving town
for about week, bat when / return
| 1 hope to be honored by visit from
Mr.. Gassin and we may have a report
of interest to make.
