ABSENCE OF U.S.A. TIPS Owing to the absence of DX tips from U.S.A. it is difficult to give any definite information regarding American reception at present. However, listeners should keep a look out on Sundays until 7 p.m. for CKMO (1,410 k.c.) and until 6 p.m. for KTUL (1,400 k.c.), KSTP (1.460 k.c.), XEW (890 and 910 k.c.), and KENT (1,120 k.c.). XEW operates two stations on the respective frequencies shown. KFAC (1,300 k.c.) and KGDM (1,100 k.c.) arc on all night. The latter can be heard after 7LA has closed down. AUSTRALIANS IN DAYLIGHT.
