Through the Static

nounced as far as we know, that
of KMA, Shenandoah Iowa. We
found that station operating on a
wavelength of about Asst meters last
evening. Whether or not this is per-
manent We don't know.
Conditions last night were gener-
ally pretty good. The early part of
the evening could not have been i'm
proved upon and as the night wore
along toward its height a mere
smattering of static crept in which
was not noticeable at all. Great vol
ume was present and we brought in
stations as war west as Iowa with
no trouble at all. Chicago was well
represented and everything was
| lovely.The best night in several
weeks. We didn't know fading had
been discovered.
At WIZ all was serene. We heard
the last number of Harold Leonard 8
dinner program, Il Love You" Be
have yourself, young lady, we're just
quoting the name of the number.
And then the Reading Jewellers
obliged with a complete quartet rem
dition of Drifting and Dreaming"
which proved to be as sweet as any
thing we have heard. The ReVelers,
recognized now as one of the most
popular of popular quartets, came
through in top form. After that We
left the Atlantic City Special.
Iviervis band obliged with music
and an impromptu talk-fest from
| WNYC. This band was broadcasting
| from Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and
the Municipal station in the Big City
presented the program well, in spite
of the fact that code was bit dis
couraging at times. ''Nalencia' was
one OF the numbers offered. They
| have a great lot of takers in that
organization, since we could hear
steady line OF chatter between each
selection rendered. Some of ii was in
| English.
WEAF, New York, came through
extra loud and the program was
doubly enjoyable since it was not
bothered by VITO, Hartford, which !
was enjoying a well deserved silent |
night. The Eveready Hour was be-
ing broadcast and it was of a high |
ly classical nature which, while en-
joyable, did not appeal TO us last
evening. The atmosphere was a
trifie too smudgy. A baritone sang !
selection from some Italian opera or
other. And then the orchestra otter
ed a "Serenade" by some Russian
composer, It's a nine-letter word +
