February 14, 1925 RADIO DIGES T— Illustrated STATION CHIC OPENS WITH FINE PROGRAM NORTHERN ELECTRIC NOW OWNS TWO STATIONS Famous Artists to Broadcast Through Courtesy of Canadian National Carbon Company in Future TORONTO, Can. — Station CHIC is now on the air. This station, owned and controlled by the Northern Electric Company, Ltd., is the second station owned by this company to broadcast in Canada. The other station is located at Montreal, using the call letters CHYC. The opening program was broadcast on 350 meters from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m., consisting of numbers of a classical nature. From 9:30 to 11 p. m. was a popular dance program. Radiophans in the eastern part of the country are going to hear more programs by famous artists, who are recognized masters in their particular arts. This will be through the courtesy of the Canadian National Carbon company. Use Best Talent Procurable Senor Alberto Guerrero, who is recognized among authorities as one of the greatest pianists in North America; Mr. Ferdinand Fillion, who is perhaps Canada's finest exponent of the violin, and Mr. Arthur Blight, who is not only Canada's premier baritone, but is rated as one of the authorities on voice in this continent, are slated for two recitals to be given in the near future. All three of these artists are members of the faculty of the Toronto Conservatory of Music of the University of Toronto, and have been heard in connection with Eveready entertainments throughout the eastern part of the United States on previous occasions. This will be the first time that all three of these artists have appeared on the same program. The hornless loud speaker made out of papier mache is rapidly gaining favor in England. Greater care, however, is necessary in adjusting this type of producer to avoid a tendency to "drumminess." -ULTB&WIUS MURDOCH ^lCHlGAtf Deresnadyne MALONE LEMON MASTER RADIO % fag** HARMONY AUDIOLA GLOBE SAAL AND MANY OTHERS Super Het Builders !

SMALL BROADCAST TRANSMITTER The small sending set shown above with foot rule and dry cell for size comparison is capable of broadcasting a distance of several miles. Listeners in, however, should not attempt to build sending sets without first obtaining a government license. This requires an expert knowledge of Radio. Radiophans might remember this picture as an object lesson, for receiving sets this size and larger often transmit disagreeable noises for miles around when improperly handled. Experiments in voice amplification are being carried out at Westminster Abbey. Microphones have been placed over the pulpit and the reading desk. It has not yet been decided whether the installation is to be permanent. WAHG IN NEW FEAi; REBROADCASTS KGO IS FIRST TIME EAST HAS RELAYED WEST COAST Presents Program of Harry Halstead Orchestra Playing in San Francisco —Will Repeat Stunt RICHMOND HILL, N. Y.— Thousands of eastern Radiophans experienced a brand new thrill on a recent morning when from 2:25 to 4 a. m., eastern time, WAHG, A H. Grebe station here, rebroadcast the program of KGO, General Electric station at Oakland, Calif. This is the first time in the history of Radio that a west coast program has been rebroadcast by an east coast station. The program at KGO, picked up and released for its second flight over the ether, was by the Harry Halstead orchestra at the St. Francis hotel, San Francisco. The rebroadcasting at Richmond Hill was done through the experimental station which uses the call letters 2XE. A wave length of 516 meters was employed instead of the usual 316-meter wave length of WAHG. More rebroadcasts of KGO are promised for eastern fans by WAHG. The first very successful effort was rewarded by a great response from eastern listeners. Telephone messages and telegrams flooded into the offices of the Grebe station.
