Today there are more than 500 listen- ers-in, but It is estimated that this will be doubled fn a year's time. So far there are only two broad- casting statlons in Hongkong—one a 100-watt American set and the other a 10-watt Canadian set. - A program by the Sterling Quar- tet will be one of ‘the featires of WCAP's program tonight which will be broadcast jointly with WEAF, in New York. Representative Celler of New York will speak on “Selective lilul er Than Restrictive Immigra- on. W. H. KAUFFMAN, 765 Quebec street northyest, conveys a sentiment in a letter to this department which is being expressed by numerous radio enthusiasts since the thrilling expe- rience of the Shenandoah Wednesday night. He says: H “When WRC came on at 10:45 Wednesday night they announced that, owing to a distress signal, they had remained silent during the eve; ing and that all stations cast of the Mississippl river had also remained silent. There was evidently a mis- take somewhere, because I picked up many stations during_ the evening, among them being WTAMr. WWJ, WGY, WLW, PWX and the govern- ment ‘station’ NAA, at Arlington. The latter was broadcasting the civil service examinations. | “Why should the crystal set own- ers be deprived of the local station’s concert by a government order when they (the gpvernment) continue to carry on? “I belleve all stations should shut down when a distress signal is given, and I congratulate WRC for abiding by the rule, but I should think they had as much right to the air as NAA and all of the other stations 1 have mentioned. “I am the owner of a three-tube set, but am not in favor of a silent night. WRC is getting better and better, and the program we get from | WCAP is sp good that if they were {not on the air I would tune in to WEAF to get it.” BENJAMIN L. BUTCHER, the Ken- sington, 2501 14th street northwest. asks R. D. WOOLRIDGE to please in- form him of the hook-up he uses for his set, . the stations received by which were published in this column January 15. RAY T. CAMPBELL, 1437 Pennsyl- vania avenue southeast, informs Mrs. L E. MURRAY that station WHAS, Louisville, signed off with “We are signing off at one minute past nine. We hope to have brought you pleas ure and wish you all a very good- night.” “F. L. 8" wishes to know what station broadcast a concert last Mon- day night, shortly after 10 o'clock, in which Miss Nina Gordon played a plano selection by Chopin. This_ station likely was WHAZ, Trov, N. Y. Miss Lena Geiser played several Chopin numbers at the above time, and there is a similarity in the names of the pianists mentioned, the correct name, perhaps, not hav- ing been clearly 'heard. “J. C. A." there is no station WADL. 1t is likely that you heard WABL Connecticut — Agricultural College, | Storrs, Conn. The aerial put up by your neighbor two feet away from yours may act either for the better or for the worse. Since your neighbor's set is stronger than vours, he may help vour recep- tion through re-radiation, that is strengthening your signals. On the other hand, should your neighbor be carcless in tuning there will be no iend-to interference. FExperimenta- tion will be the best teacher in your case, and the proper co-operation be- tween your neighbor and yourself, in case of trouble, will work to the ad- vantage of both. FRANK K. PATTERSON would like |to know “the station which signed off {at 12:30 a.m. Monday, January 14.

MORIARTY, 3661 13th street northwest. answers several queries regarding a station heard the evening of January 9. He says: “The station that signed off in St. Loufs about 9 p.m. on January 9, lady announcing, was WCK, Stix- Baer-Fuller Company, St. Louis, Mo., on 360 meters. On the evening in question, *between 8 and 10 p.m.. I listened to nine different class C sta- tions, all at 360. WCK was among them. -A short time before WCK signed off, a lady san ‘The Old Re- frain’ and a gentleman sang ‘Under the Lilac_Bush.” WHN.
