More encouraging reports came from Frank Cuhel, who broad¬ casts from Australia for WOR and Mutual.
’’It is estimated”, Cuhel cables, ’’that there are more than 70,000 receivers in Australia with shortwave bands. ” Austra¬ lians, reveals Cuhel, always have been most eager for news from other countries and listened a good deal to Radio Rome and Berlin before Allied stations perfec;^ed their overseas programs. "Now”, says Cuhel, "these Axis stations have few listeners here. ”
Cuhel concludes with the suggestion that an even better Job could be done if the OWI would record more local programs and fly them to Australia for rebroadcast, thus assuring better recep¬ tion and greater audiences.
From Honolulu, Owen Cunningham of WOR-Mutual reports he has noticed some muttering among service men about "soldiers on the mainland receiving free food, drink, entertainment, kisses from movie cuties. However, it is no big issue as yet. "

A. T. & T. COMES THROUGH WITH ROLLING RADIO STATION
To provide in mobility for the Bell System emergency radio telephone sets, engineers of the American Teleohone and Tele¬ graph Company have develooed the 140-RT radio telephone trailer.
It is a two-wheel vehicle designed to house the equipment and to shelter the operator. When fully loaded with radio and other equipment, the trailer weighs about 2000 pounds. Fittings on the trailer permit towing by passenger car or truck.
It takes only a few minutes after the trailer is uncoupl¬ ed to establish an operating radio terminal. At its location the trailer is steadied by adjustable pipe supports at its four cor¬ ners; and its doors are thrown open. Using the materials it carries, a fifty-foot mast is quickly erected and the proper connections are made to the radio equipment. Following this the normal ground connections are made and the gasoline engine-driven generator, which is located in the rear compartment of the trailer, is start¬ ed to provide the necessary power supply. Immediately the radio operator calls the distant station and makes known the availability of the radio terminal. Connections from the trailer station to the nearest telephone line are made and the central office is advised that communication over the emergency radio channel is available for service.
