Boom DAYS are coming to wake
radio from its summer lethargy.
Al weekend cold wave brought
with 1t many radio waves that
have not tickled our headphones
for several months. And stations
| that have been fighting static for
| the past few months were coming
lin clear and loud.
And along with the arrival Of
cool nights and good reception,
come announcements Of changes
! in program. Radio Is in its an
nual transitional period, when sum-
mer features are dropped and more
attractive programs inausurated
for the cold months.
Last night we heard the final
concert for the summer by the
Goldman Band of New York, an
organization which has entertained
us weekly throughout the summer.
Saturday night the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra. which has
been even more regular in Its at
tendance at our evening nlusicales
of late. will give Its last concert
through WIZ. WGY and WRC.
And the Marine and Navy bands.
which have always been sfandDys
in the local radio world. are closing
their seasons in two weeks. the
Army band will probably follow e
little later. ).
Thus the five biggest sources Of
entertainment during the past sum
mer are dropping out almost at
once. Soon we will be getting an
nouncements Of the winter enter.
tainment to take their place.
The Goldman Band did itself
proud on its last appearance before
the invisible audiences. Most popu-
lar of its selections was Goldman ;
own number. On the Mall. Wnicn
has been received so well MI year.
al great wave Of applause was
handed In last night.
WGY's test of super-power Satur-
day night was conducted Under
more favorable circumstances than
any OF the previous ones. And IN
our opinion it proved its worth even
more than ever. The Schenectady
station was coming in clear az
bell. with good meditation and no
apparent fading. And, best OF air
could be tuned out fairly easily.
we had no trouble getting W'TAM,
Clevela Id. just 10 meters away, on
small power.
