several occasions for this reason
 and, as a result, 1t lacked its cus- tomary smoothness.
 WRVA. Richmond, unhampered
 by WRNY, New York. which now aspires to higher things, came
 through clearly with a snappy dance
 orchestra and a happy announcer.
 Lets Talk About My Sweetie" was
 we'll done and the station, when it didn't fade, came through excep- tionally clear.
 There was considerable static on the lower half of the dialing sys- tenn during the latter part of the evening.
 We heartily enjoyed the time sig nals from KDKA, with musical &C., compartment from some other sta- tion. Our watch, in case anyone is interested, was two minutes slow.
 We've finally decided that we'd better take an interest in and try to enjoy After Say I'm Sorry" We hear it played at least three times every night and it's going to be a long winter. There seems to be no let up in it's popularity and we real ly enjoyed the way it was played from WPG, Atlantic City.
 From 400 meters up, oh, about 300 meters there was a decided raspy roar which comes through every time there is a rain storm. This interfered with WLW. Cin- natl and others stations up that way. WEAF, New York, was prac tically swamped by this noise and we didn't care particularly because the station faded lot, anyway.
 WIZ, New York, sounded as if it were coming through a tin funnel or, at least, as if we were listening to the program through the narrow end of a tin funnel. At times it sounded like the surf broadCasts conducted every so often by WIP, Philadelphia. The station faded in it's own peculiar manner and we tried to listen to some rapid fire dance music being broadcast from Washington, while WRC, Washing ton, furnished a weak echo a short distance north and turn left at the red barn which was painted green last winter and finally burned down. There's a garage there now and you can't miss it because it has just been moved five miles up the road. |
 Static's headquarters was located between $40 and 360 meters, as us- ual. Static was holding open house | for other slivery noises all evening. l
 WNJ. Newark, which, as we said, | was experimenting on about 35l | meters, came through very loud . with an organ recital from the Ritz theater. The station didn't l choose a bad locality for it's new wave length, if it just had to move, ! and the announcer was very solici i tous about the welfare of the lis teners-in. He asked them to | communicate with the station and | advise the officials there if the wave | was interfering with any other station. He was quite nice about | it. Well, the organ recital We heard was excellent, except for the | fact that it faded quite regularly. | Somebody's Lonely" and Poet | and Peasant Overture,' were two of the numbers played.
 Sos Your Old Lady" that ab- solutely useless bit of nonsensity, | came through as a harmony duet | from WEAR, Atlantic City This | city was exceedingly loud, shutting out completely any station which presumed to be broadcasting in that vicinity.
 From the Cinderella Supper club came a particularly clear and a delicious program of music, if delicious can be used in that sense. There was not a ripple r o mar the program so powerful is WPGs transmission at the pres
