We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

HOW TO USE
"WHAT'S ON THE AIR"
To Double the Benefits from Your Radio Set
HOW TO FIND THE PROGRAM YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT
and hour when program is wanted.
The program-finding service covers the hours of 6 to 12 p. M. for each day in the month, Eastern Standard Time, or from 5 to 11 p. M., Central Time. Simply turn to the page bearing date Select from index in panels at foot of page particular program or type of program you prefer, then locate on schedule chosen symbol at nearest point (by use of State index) from which it is being broadcast. Or, if you prefer, check symbols of favorite stations against index of symbols in panels at foot of page until you locate type of program for which your particular mood calls.
Sunday programs appear on pages 8-13; Monday, pages 14-19; Tuesday, pages 20-25; Wednesday, pages 26-31; Thursday, pages 32-37; Friday, pages 3 8-43; Saturday, pages 44-49.
HOW TO USE THE WAVE-LENGTH GUIDE
Draw lines from the stems of arrows pointing to the wave lengths of stations with which you are familiar to the respective points on the scale to the right corresponding to the points on the detector dial of your set where these stations "come in." After you have drawn about a dozen of these lines you will have a guide to all of the stations in the country. For example, if Station WEAF, which is on channel No. 12 — which means it operates on a frequency of 660 kilocycles and 454 meters — comes in on your set at 74, and Station WLW, on channel No. 16, comes in on your set at 67, stations on channels 13, 14 and 15 necessarily must come in at points between these two locations on your dial.
Tfl H/T A ITT? A T n~Kir< Ascertain which of your local stations
m«TATvrF twt wnm are br°*d"stins chain *«»"» * the
IMblAJNU!! 1ES1 (DX) moment. Tune in one of these and find
out what number is being rendered. Then start your detector dial at either end of its arc and turn slowly. As soon as you hear the same number, note your dial setting and check back to the column showing wave lengths, thus ascertaining the approximate wave length of the station you are receiving. To the left of this column you will find the call letters of stations on the wave length of that station and those having approximately that wave length. Reference to the schedule of programs applying to the time you are listening will show you which of these stations is broadcasting the program to which you are listening, and you can thus identify it without having to wait for call letters.
