Through fife Static

Well, there was volume aplenty over the week-e end and it was pos sible to reach out almost anywhere and pull in something-provided you weren't particular as to what it was. | We listened Saturday afternoon, but only a short while Saturday evening. Conditions were excellent, we found that out and that's about all Last evening there was plenty of volume, | in fact, almost too much. but static made it's appearance in connection with the unsettled weather and there were times when it became a bit obtrusive, although in most cases the stations drowned out the inter- 1 ference.
 | On Saturday afternoon we made list of stations which were broad casting football games. It became quite a list before we got through, exceeding our expectations by far. l We started out by corraling WTIC and the Harvard Princeton game. Then we brought in WDRC, New Haven. and the Yale-Maryland game, and WIZ with the Pennsyl- l sylvania- Penn State fraoas. After the eastern games had been concluded we ran around the dials few times and shortly before o'clock we tuned in WEBH, Chicago, broadcasting the Northwestern- Purdue contest. Later we brought in the Notre Dame-In- diana affair from VICES. Chicago, and the Dayton Cincinnati fight from WSAI. Cincinnati. That was an excellent representation.
 l After darkness had fallen we picked up new one, WBRL, some where in New Hampshire, we can't tell you the exact location. There was pronounced generator hum and the station came in on about 415 meters, very loud. Football scores were being broadcast and we noted the inability of the gentleman at the microphone to pronounce the names of some of the colleges WIAM, CleVeland, came through very loud and so did about every thing else. WIS, Chicago, was one of the few stations of fading turn of mind. A masquerade party was being held and We heard a young man sing "Katinka."
