Through he Static

Saturday night was excellent and, while We didn't break any records for distance or anything like that, We had lots O fun running from station 10 station in an effort to log IS many broadcaSters as possible. IL isn't as easy to bring in a great number as if used to be, for the simple reason that the waves are rlogged up 10 such an extent that half of the stations must go r.n- uncharted. We managed to bring in 30 stations in about two hours, listening to call letters and then flashing somewhere else. The crowd 1 ing of the wave lengths creates tough situation and We have no doubt that if there hadn't been so many stations on the air. We would i have been able 10 log more. Figure that out. But. as We were saying, l conditions were excellent. Volume was good. there was no static 10 | speak of and there was very little noise. Last night was no good at all. There was nothing to commend it. , Sliyery static and noise and no vol ume and lack of programs. Just one ! O fthoso popless evenings, We didn't listen in long. We can tell you.
 The Sarenaders Of this city pre- sentad a program at WTlC Saturday
 evening. The boys offered several popular songs in approved style, but they should have been allowed halt-hour for their program. By the time they got warmed up, it was time to quit. It's funny thing about appearing before the mike. One has
 to get warmed up, just as one does
 for baseball, football, poker, tiddly-
 Winks and other outdoor games.
 Well, the quartet sang Little Span
 ish Town" "Why DO You Roll Those
 Eyes" Mandy Lee" We Don't
 Know Where We're Coin" all Of
 which sounded we'll although the
 first two numbers offered on the
 program were a bit ragged, as If the
 boys were being pushed hither and thither around the studio. Hump
 VI IItch lltS S'tilb Il Nplp, tlS blNl Al mold Thompson, both Of these boys registering heavily. Red Latham. | handling the announceri3l duties, in ! formed the fans of the happenings in q professional manner. He also !. accompanied the quartet and solo ! numbers. Of special note was the , rendition Of Little Spanish Town, | and the presentation of Mandy | Lee" The numbers were colorful i and well modulatod and the voices
 were brought out well
 WIZ, New York. offered the Eos i ton symphony orchestra, as did . WBZ. WIZ was q trife fuzzy at
 times. but it seemed to outgroW that as the evening went along. Ii faded ! considerably, however. WGY offered the regular Saturday night Dam- | rosch recital from WEAF. loud and . sustaining. VICES, New York, pre- i sented the Columbia Penn basket . ball game, but We didn't remain | long, since the transmission seemed . muffled as if the microphone was . not open full KDkA, Pittsburgh. i exceedingly loud, was on the air . with the Boston symphony.
 WPG. Atlantic City, was loud and i clear, as usual, presenting a classl- i cal concert. WARS, Brooklyn, was
 rather distorted, but we heard q
 portion of a boxing match. WWAr,, | Plainfield. Illinois. 10000 waiter,
