RADIO DIGEST ILLUSTRATED RECEIVING RECORD CONTEST By the Contest Editor HOW many of the 202 records published in the January 6 issue do you think were able to hold their own? Well, a count shows 140 still in existence with this revision of the complete list of record holders. Sixty-two records were broken and 63 new records were made. The total list of records now numbers 265. Going on with the statistics, only 61 records are for distances of 2,000 miles and over; a mere 11 for distances of 2,500 miles and over; and only one for a distance of over 3,000 miles. The contest editor would be glad to receive complete descriptions of sets us.ed by the holders of records of 2,300 miles and over. Then he can tell other fans the tricks used to make real records. Have vou had a record of that class published? Send in the facts about your set if you can qualify. Station — Miles Away — Wno Heard It CFAC— 1650, B. A. Deger, Dayton, O. CFCA— 1S50, C. C.
