KMOX On Endurance Flight. ME: L. B. Lewis (Gisborne) writes: In the DX Notes of your issue of August 10, you have-an American to° identify for "Hastings," and received his call-sign to be Station KMOX, St. Louis,’ U.S.A. On Monday, July 27, I logged this station at 10.15 p.m, but.. did not get his cdll-sign, although the musical items were very clear, as were the announcements regarding the St. Louis Robin. endurance flight. I experienced the same trouble as’""Hastings" fading, with strong crashes of static thrown in. Ty On Tuesday, July. 28, I received him with better. success as regards static and fading. Announcements were still being made in regard to the St. Louis Robin flight,.and the announcer stated that contrary to rumours, the ’plane was still in the air. The musical items were extremely clear, and he was coming in at R7 to R8. He announced his eall-sign quite frequently, as stated above. The speaker used was .one of the heavy. cone type. (Other readers have also identified this station.as KMOX.-Ed.)
