Carl Havilan, publicity man for KFI, who is the size of a minute, had just received the cablegram, and Was far too busy and excited to meet me, so I just slipped over to the elevator. As I pressed the button for service, Havilan was still raving about the cablegram, muttering Spanish with a few "hot dogs" and "oh boys" mixed in when Rice put his hand over Carl's whole face to shut him up, and shouted, "All right, all right — but what does it mean, translated?" "Err — er," stammered Havilan, "your program is coming in beautifully; we are sitting in our Spanish front yard hearing every number clearly over our loud speaker, but 'Yes! We have no bananas'"' Warner Bros. Portable Transmitter 6XBR {Continued from page 35) Radio 6XBR was built for experimental purposes and to tie up with KFWB on 252 meters. In testing this station out it was found that it reached a class of listeners-in that had been overlooked. That of the amateur, and the BCL who make it a business to listen-in on the ow waves. In the future 6XBR will reverse operations and rebroadcast KFWB on 108 meters. On the first test, letters Were received from as far east as Denver and north to Portland, from those who heard it on 103 meters. All equipment and mounting was built at the Warner Brothers' Studios, under the supervision of Frank N. Murphy, Electrical Engineer of Warner Brothers Studio. This portable truck will be used to broadcast all sport events, musical entertainment and programs. These will be put on the air on 108 meters and will be picked up by KFWB, where it will be rebroadcast on 252 meters.
