 Saturday evenings spasm of lis
 tening started off with a bang, al least that is the report. KDKA Pittsburgh, was the offending citizen and the program came in loud. In fact it came in very loud. It came in on several dial settings, but that's nothing. You remember that old one about the fellow who said he had such q good radio set that he could bring in seven stations all at once. You don't? Well, that's all right, too. Anyway, the music was coming from the Flotilla club, Pittsburgh, and as far as We could make out, the or chestra was playing on a boat an chored out in the river. When other boats went by. it was swell. The or chestra presented q group of excel lent numbers, including For My 1 Sweetheart" Lucky Day. and Climbing Up To The Moon."
 
 Then, down farther on the iials we hit WHk, Cleveland, for the first time in we don't know when. The dance orchestra at that station ap- peared to be rather suited, as if the musicians were afraid that they might make mistake. They did, in | playing Lucky Day" Altogether. we heard that number about 45 times Saturday night

 All we'll say about the Boston Symphony is that it came through very well from all the stations pre- scnting it, except WRC, Washington, which was swamped under WTlC's | heavy wave. This orchestra will fill the bill this winter, or we'll know the reason why. Lovers of big time music will certainly glory in the fact ! that the aggregation has been signed up until the middle of next April for Saturday evening broadcasts from WBZ, Springfield; WIZ. New York: 1 WGY, Schenectady, and WRC, Washington. The best bet for hear ing it last Saturday was through WIZ.
 WTAM, Cleveland, came through loud all evening. There seemed to be considerable static on the wave, however. We heard the Merrymakers in T Don't Want Anyone But You" WLS, Chicago. was another loud visitor all evening. Static came through with considerable volume, too. As the evening wore along the static abated and at midnight it was a negligible factor. We'll the Ken novel program in the form of har- monica, guitar and mandolin trio numbers, The music was excellent and we encountered good reception. The Wonder Beans played I'd Climb The Highest Mountain,' She's My Baby and "Hi-Ho The Merryo," or however that number is spelled.
 Back to kDkA and the Nesting house band, presenting delightful !. group of martial airs, including Turkish Patrol' and Stars and i Stripes Forever"
 Later in the evening we listened i again 10 WLS, Chicago, and its im- promptu program We also brought ! in dance frn.,, NCTn neapolis, which station came in txtra ! loud. All Chicago stations were well represented, and We enjoyed phc- nomenal reception from. WFAA, Dallas, Texas.
 Last evening one of the features was WHO. Dos Moines, which was brought in at 8:45 o'clock, a new early evening record. The Hotel Fort Des Moines orchestra was the entertaining feature and we heard two dance numbers, "The Two Of Us" and Sympathy Waltz" The station was loud and clear and there was just a little code.
 WEAF and WIZ were heard in one number each. A cello solo from the former, Poems" and a selec- ton by the Hotel Commodore con cert orchestra. Invitation to The Dance,' from the latter, were enjoy able.
 CHYC, Montreal, accompanied by little static and some fading, pre- scented a concert orchestra in a va riety of the better class Of popular selections. "Cherie, I Love You" and "Ting-a-Ling," the latter with chimes in the background were well done, We must say that.
 We heard part Of the Atwater Kent program from WTAM, Cleve- land, that station being hooked up with WEAF, New York Clarence Whitehil, far famed baritone, pre- scented superb rendition of "Old l Black Joe"
 Later In the evening we succeeded in bringing in voc, Davenport. and WBAP, Fort Worth, the latter offer ing a dance orchestra and Bye, Bye Blackbird.''
 That's all for today, thanksl
