New Britain herald., 1926-11-09
Through fife Static

l We hope all the calamity howlers were satisfied with last night. Had 1t not been for the static the eve- ming would have been the best in at least seven or eight years, but as 1t was 1t was only the best in two or three weeks. We had better luck last night than we've had since year ago this time. and that's no 1 dream! We had the best distance 1 possible, meaning the coast, as we so laughingly call 1t in the language of the drama. There was plenty of static at times, in fact, it all came in at once. which was better than if 1t had spread over several hours. It did, but-oh, you know what we mean. There was static. but 1t came in bunches-like bananas
 We'll start off with tho distant stations. Between 1920 and 12:3o o'clock this morning we brought in KFI, Los Angeles, not very loud, but plain enough to tell what was go- ing on. After listening to an- nouncements from 12 o'clock to 1920 o'clock we finally made out what the announcer was saying. A classical program was being present ed and every once in a while a so- prano voice could be heard. this later giving way to violin. The noise was quite heavy at that time.
 
 We brought in new one, CKY at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is located on wave length of 3S5 meters and was suffering consider able from competition on the part of WHAZ, Troy. which was crowd ing 1t to the ropes. WHAZ offered a dance orchestra and so did CKY so at times 1t was rather difficult to differentiate. After that five dol lar ($5) word we come right back strong to say that we heard The Girl Friend" from CKY. It was long distance to go for such an old number, but 1t was the best we could do. If WHAZ had not been on the air, everything would have been lovely.
 We heard Copenhagen" from WBAP, Fort Worth, as played by somebody's Midnight Syncopators. The band was a hot combination, but there couldn't have been more than five pieces. The station came through loud at times. a mean buzz doing its best to prevent our hear ing the music.
 We find that we won't be able to talk about anything nearby, because we haven't the space. Suffice 1t to say that we heard part of the New Departure band program from WTIC and that 1t was quite the knockout, in the language of the squared circle.
 At WLW, Cincinnati. which sta- tion came in loud enough to drive one out of the room, an orchestra

of no mean talents played "Black Bttom" and Nothing Else To Do.' WLW is usually hampered by a loi of slas, in the language of the stone crushers, but 1t sailed in with all kinds of power last evening.
 The press notices from WCWS, Bridgeport, continue to spell volume "volumn." My dear fellow, don't you know that isn't correct?
 Back t cart. in the language of Hell's Kitchen. There's no station any louder than WTAM. Cleveland, when the Willard broadcaster makes up its mind. Last evening the en- tire program came in with as much volume as WIZ. Sometimes 1t beat the New York station. Guy Lom- bardo and his Royal Canadians frightened up the early evening hour while we were partaking of dinner (supper) and the Bamboo Gardens orchestra provided the closing entertainment. By the way, that's quite a piece the announcer speaks when the station signs off from the Bamboo Gardens.
 6-Kw, Tuincu. Cuba, came in loud. accompanied by whistle. which might have meant that they uara roo s+tpr nae p,,ts in %b~ .+,,dto and which might have meant that they were not. Some other station was crowding the Cuban, that's all. Some orchestra, we missed it's name, played. Looking at the World, etc, etc." Someone Is Losin' Susan" "Baby Face" and "Her Bows Are Only Rainbows." Static was heavy at times, as 1t was all over the dial ing system.
 A church quartet at KFKX, Hastings, Nebraska, sang, Abide With Me-" in a suitably solemn manner. There was also sermon by a minister. His voice came through exceptionally clear. And for a change, no other station crowded KFKX. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
 Rarely does cello sound well over the air, but VEAL. Baltimore, presented one last evening, that was 100 per cent (9e) perfect. The deep, full tones were faithfully re- produced and the stations clarity was remarkable. ''The Swan" was one of the numbers. as played by Miss Helene Broemer.
 At wCCO, Minneapolis, the Capi- tol theater organ offered a group of classical selections late in the eve ming. The station maintained a steady volume.
 And that's all that we will say about reception last night. We brought in a large crowd of locals, but time and space are limited to- day. so-well, anyway we've given you something to talkabout- you something to talk about
