I am strongly in favor lent night, or we can't that, why not insist that the local stations sign off the air soon after 10 p.m. on most of the nights? DOUGLAS S. CATCHIM. KSD is the station of the St Louis_Past-Dispatch in St e, Radio Bditor; What station, after giving the weather report of the central states, signed off at 10:01, central standard time. I am very much in favor of a silent night for the local stations once a week and for the code from 4 pm. to 2 am. every night. The Radio News, I believe, is dolng a great deal in holding the interest of the fans. I know I look through it every night, partly to see what some one else has done and to see if I can give any Information. I think 1 have done well with my crystal set. havipg received -twenty-two distant stations since December including WOC. WCBD and NSB. J. B.. ,\Iuandrm. Va. . Radio Bditor: a set that .1 built costing €1 cents. about 10 o'clock Saturday night while WCAP was on, a station came in and I could not get the call number, but the announcer sald something about a speed record. Then a violin and plano played a section. Then, about 11:39 p.m., the announcer said something about the United States of America, and he would be off the air for about five or six minutes. At 12:06 the station was on the air again with a plano selection. Will some fan kindly inform me through the Radio News which station this was? B J. R. BOYD. Radio Baitor: In reply to the question of C. E. Brooks, I believe the station he heard was WDAR. Lit Brothers, in Phjladelphia. That Is their regular time for broadcasting, I have found. 1 have been able to pick up this station almost every day. 1 have little difficulty in getting WOO, WIP and WDAR, all of Philadelphia. T should much like to know If others are getting these particular stations readily. T have had some success in get- ting Baltimore. Recently I got WEAR at noontime, - loud_ enough to use the speaker. O. P. New- man's letter In the Radio News in- terested me when I read that he is operating a neutrodyne set, as that is the type of hook-up I have. I wish he and other neutrodyne owners would communicate their dial settings for various stations through the Radio News of The Star; as I have found that these readings can be applled to all neutrodynes with slight variations. If.it is not convenient for The Star to publish these dial settings, I ghould very much appreciate it 1f 'owners of this set would com- municate with me by telephone. My phone number is North 10181. My set was a Christmas present and in the Short_time. that T Nave been operating it T have been able to record forty-three different stations. I have pot ‘scored very heavyily in bringing in distant st: tions, but have recelved the fol- wing very cledrly!
