The new moon, somewhat hazy in its first quarter, came back into the western sky last night, but its effect on radio signals was apparently negli- gible. Reception was fair from the North, South and W, While vol- ume and audibility were good, static of the crackling variety did its best to interrupt the programs, and in some cases succeeded The atmospherics were mild at the outset of dialing activities, but increased in intensity and frequency &8 the night wore on. WOC, Daven- port, was heard distinctly and without eny interference whatever about 7:30 o'clock, but it was impossible to bring in this station with satisfaction two hours later because of the static blasts. A number of other stations were similarly affected.
