"We thank you for. your letter of October 17, and note the excellent results you have secured from our experimental station. As you probably know, station WLW is now on the air regularly on 50 k.w., and we presume that you will be able to secure programmes from

What I meant to convey was that 2Z¥"s wavelength, 285 metres (1050 k.c.) is approximately the same as that of station KSKY., Geographical Centre, U.S.A. Thus any listeners to 2ZF would perhans he able to tune in the latter station

as we did (about 11.30 p.m.).
