ee . KHL, Bollinas, ‘California, working on about 43 metres, was playing -records and. calling JIAA, Tokio. Signals from KEL were good strength, and very clear. While working duplex telephony, JIAA was ‘heard better through KEL than direct. KBEL is located: at Bollinas, and is owned by the Radio Corporation of America, KBK and KGRM, Radio Manila, on about 46 metres, were transmitting a special programme until 3 a.m., when I elosed down. ‘This station is not the ordinary relay transmitter which is heard nightly, as it was received with better volume and modulation than KAIXR. The announcements made were: "KBE and KGRM, owned and operated by the R.C.P., transmitting a special test programme for reception in San Francisco." This station is identical. with the Manila station heard testing on 21 metres during the week. a
