A r e a l good report would be hakd to give considering the selections were unidentified but s t a t ion was i i e n t i f i e d frequently (contrcgy to one chapt s musings). On the whke, idmtifica- t ion stmuld have been easy had QRNi not prevented. To date, 29 reports have been re- ceived, a memeo card o r l e t t e r w a s to be sent out but knowing &at letter-head verie* were much more deairabdle I volunteered to type out l e t t e r s . Tr~ring to get out a couple meam they w i l l be a little l a t e r than I v!ould like, however I hope you v ill have them by the time you read t h i s report. I f not, watch for them soon. I personal- l y interested i n how rq reports compare with the other fellows' as to completeBess, in te res t , and value to t'nz engineer. Should any of you boys rleeire coments on your report, please l e t me know and I sha l l t ry to give an honest opinion. A few could have beenmore complete i n these respects but there were no post cards received and only on3 did not have return postage, Thanks, fellows.

Bgrgie Duffx, M_aLng &vgn~e---Sia&en Jsl,qd-12,-NAY, Reviewing mg past week's early AM dial-tviisting, I find the following "line-up;' 1.21 14- CX-28 not plainly audible, but "a whisper signal" on 1090 kc/s. at 2:30-3:00 seem- ed to be nm. WBGR had &%@% f / c 1:45-2:05, maaping WTTS as the l a t t e r made i ts daily s /off at d:OO. 12/15 - No sign of HUOB on 975 kc/s. I3VEW1s cycle tone t e s t surprisadgly topped WJBK at 4:lO--t:16. 12/16 - RWCO, 1560 kc/s. with program bi l le j . " A l l Night Record Show" blanked XPMCts daily s /off at 3:00 and continued on through the ni,%ht with a good signal. WJEH had a strong beam during i t s t e s t a t 4:06 on.

WMBG and VANS al ternated to dominate 1380 ka/s. at 7:15-7:30 till local WARZ cme on and blanked them. Oddly enough, not a trace of needed, nearby WAPI i n Pawtucket, R. I. 12/17 - F%iRfs t e s t of i t s 2 kw. buxiaiary t r a n m i t t e r so weak I thought it a DX catch at 2:35- :00. l2/18 - No s i , q of Wflbi!B at 2:50, instead a weak, fady Spanisher tha t might ha e been XEOY, Wexico Ctty. Only veries the past week a re l e t t e r s from VGCB and K T U , t i e l a t t e r * s manager, K e m t h Aitken very specifically ver i f ied that it Mae 1 they 1 h ard with organ music 12/11 3:30-3:45, it the i r second loniay tes t .
