interference problem if you know
 what the trouble Is. I don't, but
 would like to, and I sure would ap-
 preciate having the thing fixed. Yours
 truly" and the letter is signed.
 Well. all we can say about the
 matter is that we live about a mile
 from the residence of the writer of that letter and we get buzz every evening, too. We were fortunate in securing the cooperation of the Light and Power Company, so that one of their service men worked on the electdic light lines and found the cause of specific buzz that was bothering us some time ago. For a period of about week reception was excellent. but lately another heavier buzz has taken the place of the light
 fracas and 1t has been doing it's best. or worst, to ruin things. There is one thing we DO know and that is: Peo- pie all over the city are being troubled with that same disturbance, apparently.
 For instance, friend reports that he is troubled by it over on Stanley street near Whiting. We listened in
 on a set in Belvidere a few nights ago and found that it was active up there. Several people have mention ed 1t as being prominent in the west ern part of the city and a fan on Court street told us recently that it
 is terrific in his neighborhood. As for ourself, we have found the Connec- ticut Light and Power Company willing to cooperate in the abolish ment of disturbance. That is, willing if we kept after them long enough. of his title and is kept on the jump quite bit of the time. Many times, he is called out on trouble" jobs, only to find out that the lights had nothing to do with disturbance and that the set operator was working with loose connections in his ma chine or was hearing some noise due to his set or to apparatus in his house. The firm has to guard against such calls, since they waste time. But if you're absolutely sure that the noise is coming from the power lines and that it is not coming from some heating apparatus or other electrical appliance in the immediate neigh borhood, notify the company. They are only too glad to help insofar as they can. Of course, anything outside of power lines or street lights Is not their job.
 Now for last evening. We have al- tient way, just what were the con- ditions last evening. So we'll start right off on our reception report. The buzz was very heavy early in the evening and we feared that we should have little success. However, it sort of died away and kept to the background as the night made tracks for the Happy Hunting | Ground, as contemporary says. And ! there was an awful miXup of sta i tions all evening. Upon that phase of l our activities we'd rather not dwell. | It's too painful.
 Shortly before 7 o'clock we enter tained two visitors from the South. | One was WTAR at Norfolk, Virginia, Ia; ak et cital. WTAR was suffering from stationus interferius, WGCP being | the contributing agent. One selection as played by the organ was Baby Face" Then, at WQAM, Miami, Florida, we heard Red, Red Robin," as recited by a woman, with piano and we didn't care a great deal for it. If she was going | to sing, why didn't she sing. If she was going to deliver dramatic reel tation, she might have chosen some thing more appropriate, like Cur few Shall Not Ring Tonight"
 WTAG, Worcester, buried under a collection of code and what have ! you throughout most of the evening, i offered a dance orchestra shortly | after o'clock, this band having the l nerve to play, Valencia" We lis tened for 'The Prisoners Song" but 1! somebody got mixed up and it wasn't !! played. We'll hand the band one bloom from the bouquet, however, Valencia" was well played.
