A most unsatisfactory evening all

they should have been; not by long
shot. There was plenty of static, not
Of the loud variety, to be sure. There
was no volume and 1t was practically

far west as Chicago. We heard two
Chicago stations, but we put in plenty
of work on them before we heard
them. We quit early. what's more.

that we brought in VIDAL, Balti-
