hope is expressed that each individ-
ual in this radio audience may give
at least momentary thought to the
fact that besides being informative
news thus internationally transmitted

function of acquainting our people
with the fact that they really are
concerned with the activities and the
aspirations of other peoples.

After efforts to pick up and re-
broadcast the program from 2LO,
London at the scheduled time, 6:45
to 7:15, had failed WIZ received and
rebroadcast at 1880 o'clock another
part of the 2LO program, music from
the Club Giro, London, and a New
Years greeting from England to
America. American listeners did not
hear the parliament chimes.
Failure to pick up 2LO during the
scheduled period was due to unfav-
orable atmospheric conditions. The
station was heard clearly at 5:-o'clock
but then faded and was not heard
again in sufficient volume for re-
broadcasting until 1880.
The rebroadcasting from London
was declared success in messages
received by WIZ from persons in
Charleston S. c., Baltimore, Mary
land, New Orleans, Miami, Fla, Ply
mouth, Penna., Princeton, w. Va,
Hattiesburg, Miss, Hot Springs, Ark, |
and other points near and far.
The listeners described the recep-
tion as fine, "clear as a bell,' very
plain" and clear and distinct" Radio
corporation officials said it was the
first entirely successful rebroadcast
ing of an English program.
The American program was secured |
and re-broadcast successfully in Eng /
land, according to cable received |
from the British Broadcasting com
pany London, which said "WJz heard !
OK Chelmsford, Essex and London" |
Many ships in the Atlantic reported |
hearing both American and British |
programs clearly
