BRITISH CRITIC GALLS U.S.3.W. STATIONS "ELUSIVE”
A british critic, writing in the December 11 issue of WORLD-EjADIO , has this to say of American short-wave stations, which he subsequently discusses in detail:
ttProbably the great majority of people in this country who. purchase a short-wave or allwave receiver do so with the specific object of listening to the radio programmes of Uncle Sam. But, having bought their receiver, they may find that the American stations are not quire as easy to receive as the advertisements sould seem to indicate,’
There is certainly no dearth of short-wave stations of high power in the United States, as a glance at the list of stations in WORLD-RADJO will show. Most of them are, neverthless, rather elusive transmissions, and one has to search for them in¬ telligently to obtain good results. The bashfulness of these stations may be partly explained by the fact that only two of themBoston (WiXAL) and Schenectady — -employ aerials directional to Europe; and even then the Schenectaoy transmitters only use their European aerial on the special occasions. ”
