Through The Static

We noticed several new wave length changes last night. which may be of interest to fans. WMBF, the popular station at Miami Beach, Florida, has moved from its position near WBZ to 3S5 meters. Here WGl, Schenectady, conflicts with 1t. WWJ, the Detro.t News station, has taken the berth of S53 meters and WEAR has gone back to its old wavelength, 390 meters, at least that's where we found the station last night. WTAM presented its dinner concert from 29O meters, also.
 Atmospheric conditions, consider ing the weather, were good last night. There were occasional dashes of static and q continuation of rat ties which, however, did not inter- fero great deal.
 We found new kind of interfer- ence last night. This was in the form of an intense sputtering which start ed away off in the distance and grew to such an extent that everything was plotted out. After a minute or two it subsided, beginning again in | about five minutes.
 Our old friend the boy with the four-coil set, was on the air last night, doing his stuff with the best of the key pounders. His program, presented for radio listeners in New Britain, was varied from the usual combination of four dashes. He gave us two in succession at times last night. Wed like to send an ap- i plause card-or an axe.
 WEAF presented the Sllvertown Cord orchestra. There's no doubt that that band is one of the best on the air. The orchestrations are novel and there's a snap which always goes with the performance of prac- tical dance orchestra. "Oh, Lady Be Good" and "Way Down in Dixie Blues were two of the best.
 The Piccadilly theater orchestra from VICES, New York, provided a

DANCE TO MUSIC
 | Il,O00 MILES AWAY
KDKA Program Picked Up Clearly in Western Australia

New York, Jan. Australians in the remote bush danced after din- ner last night to radio music that came to them from Pittsburgh, dis- tance of about 11,0O0 miles.
 A cable dispatch from Melbourne announced the success of what offi- cials of the Westinghouse company consider the greatest distance send ing feat In the history of radio. Or chestral music played at the conn pany's Pittsburgh station, KDKA, was picked up at Perth. western Australia. Perth, by air line, Is more than 2.50O miles farther west from Pittsburgh than other Australian. cities which picked up the human voice from KDKA last Tuesday.
 Ballarrat and Bendigo, inland towns of Victoria, got the strains of the orchestra and relayed them to stations in the bush. Hobart, Tas- mania, also heard the music and re- layed it throughout that island,
 The program broadcast from . I DtlWtt1l anu U tlOCh In the morning, reached Australia between 8 and o'clock in the even ing as there Is approximately 15 hours difference in time between the two countries.
 A cablegram received from the Melbourne Herald" said that the musical part of tho program came through stronger than the speaking parts, which were said to have been apparently destroyed by lover strong sending" The company has been broadcasting the entire program on 63-meter wave length, said to be the shortest ever used for long distance broadcasting.
 Personal messages sent to the Mel bourne Herald" by r.. T. Mirchall of the New York Times" and by David Sarnoff of the Radio Corporation of America, were received in Australia. the cablegram said.

 All Alone" is threatening to be- come as popular with orchestras as the well known Follow The Swal- low" We heard it no less than ten times last evening,
 My, how they did dance down at Farmer Browns barn dance last night at KDKA. The orchestra, com posed of three fddlers and two gull tars, was full of pep. The affair be- gan with an old time meeting of the Literary society and consisted Of readings, recitations. solos, clog dancing, violin selections and the dancing sets. Two prompters were on hand and 1t sure was great 10 hear them sing out the calls, The dance was still going when we signed off at l2:20 a, m, The program was given under the auspices of the Ma tlonal Stockman and Farmer at KDkA's station, and the performers were Pennsylvania farmers from Ligonier valley.
 WPG at Atlantic City presented an accomplished soprano. Had 1t not been for the fact that she was sched- uled to sing "The Song of Love" from "Blossom Time" we should not have remained, She rendered that composition better than any others we have heard on the radio.
 A friend of ours. a confirmed DN fan, appeared this morning, after seeking distant stations for half the night. Among those he brought in were:
 WHO, Dcs Moincs, Iowa, where a snappy dance orchestra rendered among others, Copenhagen" and some Other Day"
 KFKX. Hastings, Nebraska, which presented an organ recital by Profes- sor Gillette of Carlton college.
 WOS, Jefferson City. Mo-, where Q broadcast from the Mark Twain hotel, Hannibal, Mo, was being put on the air.
 He brought in many other stations nearer New Britain, too. He told us
