Still again, it is not at all uncommon for an announcer to lower his voice at the close of a piece and we lose entirely the location, though the music has come through well. We have frequently had to go through several pieces before getting the location at all. I suppose the nanouncer becomes so familiar with his friend Mike as to get careless. You will think me very critical, but we do enjoy the Radio so much that we want to get it all. Do not forget that all fans do not log stations, but feel for them; and the city name is all he needs to know. Very respectfully yours, Olympia, Washington. J. M. Hill. mental trio; fl-10.

The loss of a phrase of the speech or of a piece of music is not of as much importance as the satisfaction of knowing the station. Still again, it would help the listener very much if the announcer would give at the end a repetition of the personnel as at the beginning, because the listener may have come in late or may not have been so alive to the personnel as he is after House Wiring and Antenna There has been an enormous amount of Radio literature published, but the great drawback has been to locate the specific information wanted. Therefore I wish to express my appreciation for your accurate station listing, and especially for the two articles in a recent issue (Xeutrodyne Trouble Shooting and Matching Tubes). Others and myself, here, have had neutrodyne and tube troubles, and with a fairly large "fan" and dealer acquaintance i have been unable to find anyone familiar with these two subjects. Personally, by the "cut and try" method, I have eliminated internal and extraneous noises to a quite satisfactory extent. The proposition finally tapered to disagreeable noises with the antenna connected, but none when disconnected. Naturally I decided the remainder of my troubles to be a form of outdoor interference. However, as the last test possible to make, I opened the house main switch, located about 15 feet from the receiver, and the result was a delightful surprise. Since the receiver was quiet with antenna disconnected, the explanation seems to be that this interference was picked up through interaction between the house wiring and antenna, which parallel for 16 feet to outer wall. After carefully tightening all connections on the main and branch terminals I placed a test load on the switch using the lamps and tester coils. The lower end of main switch blades were connected to the switch block terminals by rivets, and at a certain load the current arched as the rivets had worn loose, causing a loud coarse buzz or zipp in speaker though not noticeable to the eye. — A. K. Klingbeil. The Reader's View Clarifying the Air Anent the matter of clarifying signals and substitution of the British plan of words arbitrarily adopted may I make a suggestion? It is of more importance for the listener to get quickly the city than it is the call letters. The 68 K's and W's have a strong similarity, but the names of cities have but little. Besides there are but few cities that have more than one station, and as soon as you hear the city you are prepared for the letters. Thus WBAY, WEAI, WDAY are confusing; but Houston station, WEAY; Fargo, WDAY, of Ithaca, WEAI are clear. In the cases of a few the state must be added; as Springfield, Massachusetts, and Springfield, Illinois; but there is only one Los Angeles, one Fargo, one Houston and if you lose the letters no harm is done. In the large cities, as Chicago — possibly Edgewater Beach hotel — or Sears — San Francisco, General Electric, KGO, etc;, niifjht do. Spelling out a set of arbitrary words seems to me useless. Approach this matter from the standpoint of the listener and not that of the announcer and you will see a big difference. May I make another suggestion while I am at it? In case of long services, as sermons or speeches why cannot the an "WSS ^p MM NOMINATION CERTIFICATE Announcers' Contest Radio Digest Second Annual GOLD CUP AWARD GOLD CUP AWARD Editor, Radio Digest, 510 N.
