D.X. Notes

Is It a New Station? CAN you or any of the readers of "Radio Record" tell me where station W.F.J.M. is situated? I tuned this station in on Sunday last (April 28) at 2.35 p.m.; it absolutely roared in. The volume was easily R8-9. The voice of the announcer was unmistakably American. He called, "Hullo, D.I.0.! Hullo, D.I.0.! Send us another report." This announcement was made three times in twenty minutes. The musie was as clear as a bell. I tuned W.F.JIL.M. in on abont 25 metres. He

closed down at 2.58 p.m.-

More Americans. I HAVE not been doing much logging lately, but I have added the following stations‘:-KDVL, Salt Lake City, March 21; KOIN, Oregon, 28th; KRLD, Texas, April 7; KFVD, Culver City, Cal, May 1, with four valves. The last stations I have had verified are: WMAQ, KNX, KSL, KIKB, KMIC, KGO. One of the letters I received was stamped with tl 1d. New Zealand stamp I had enclosed in my letter. My log is now: 16 New Zealand, 16 Australian, 5 Japanese, 2 South Sea Islands, 33 America: The following is an extract from a letter [ received from KSL:-" .°. . You were listening to our Saturday night feature -the KSI Coyote Club, ‘It’s our night to howl.’ It is for that reason that you heard so much howling. We employ the hours from midnight to 2 a.m. Mountain §8.T., and have a general good time. We call it the Coyote Club hecause the animal after which it is named is a very gifted howler, and his howls are by no means uncommon to this western country. It is suggested, however, that you not use the howls we create as an example of a coyote’s efforts. Any sort of howl seems to

serve us here."’-
