U.S„ STATION POWER BOOST TO FIGHT CUBAN INTERFERENCE
In order to overcome interference caused by Station CMQ, at Havana, Cuba., the Federal Communications Commission has granted special temporary authority for Station WREC at Memphis, Tenn. , to operate with an increased power of 5 KW at night for a limited period. It is stated that this shall not be con¬ strued as a finding in any wise with respect to the application of WREC for an increase in power now pending before the Commis¬ sion. The authorized power of Station WREC is only 1 KW.
Stations WCAO, Baltimore; WNT, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and WICC, Bridgeport, Conn. , also broadcast on practically the same frequency as the Memphis and Havana stations.

EVERY FIFTH PERSON IN SWEDEN NOW HAS OWN RADIO
A further increase in the number of radio licenses in Sweden was recorded during the second quarter of 1938, when 21,453 new licenses were issued, according to a report of the American Commercial Attache at Stockholm.
On June 30, 1938, the number of persons in Sweden holding radio licenses numbered 1,156,781 or 184.1 per thousand Inhabitants. The number of radio license holders in the capital city of Stockholm stood at 247.2 licenses per thousand inhabi¬ tants, according to the report.
Exchange broadcasts between Sweden and the United States will be made this Fall, according to announcements made by K. Hugo, of Stockholm, Director of Educational Programs for the Swedish Radiotjanst, and Peter T. Reinsholm, Director of Scandinavian programs for the World Wide Broadcasting Foundation, following a conference in New York City. In 1935, Mr. Reinsholm arranged the first program from America to be rebroadcast in Scandinavia, and this Summer will visit Scandinavian capitals to arrange further radio exchanges.
Through these good-will programs to Scandinavian coun¬ tries, short-wave station W1XAL makes it possible for many Scandinavians in this country to maintain closer contact with their mother country. The station operates on a frequency of 11.79 megacycles, or 25.4 meters for the Scandinavian broadcast, and can be heard by nearly every short-wave set owner in North America and Scandinavia, as well as by listeners in all parts of the world.
