JACK GARDNER-CLEVELAND G Just to iet you boys know that the CLEVELAND - RADIO CLUB is not dead, We had an ANNUAL m~eting at my house recently and t the followin; were pre'sent and talked over old times, Bob Breymaier here on furlough ?rum Great Lakes, Burstrorn and myself. Yesterday Burstrom brought the.Pres.ident of the NRC ( o u r club) the genial Becker who is here in Clevel-and for a pElysl.ca3- cl:cclcup,which we all hope will show him OK and good for many :i-ezr-; t g .-:orfie. 'I'hers i s nothing new here, f try for the Ital-ians and J';:ps n:i.r;..os.!; rzigh-i;l.y and get; 2 kick out of their propo- ganda. The usual i;ot_itb J~~e~.i~;;.r~s,!;ubans and Mexiczns are also heard and as you know tb.ere Ls no5 K J J C ~ u.3e ill reporting them. I hope the boys are all to the good and have their chins u ;~ . I wi~s sorry to hear that the - I D A went under. tho~sht; it was the best SW mcgazine ever,but natural.1.y I an more than evey enthilsed to knotv tllr;t the o1.d reli~.ble NRC is very much alive and has moncy in the tressury. A13 of the ond boys say that the fact that we m e exbending their subscriptions free during the dur- 2.tinn is a very good gesture 2nd I am sure npprecic?.ted. J WARREN ROJTZF-HN--YORK PENN My last report to the club for awhile as I .-.a- - leave for the A r r n ; ~ i!ug 2.Oth. Co to Fort Ulezde -.f ic.st ..,but ... prab&.3'~ .,onLyA.a.- shart timc,then destin3.iion unknowrr. Only station logged lately was FVTOP with good signal a11 dzy here,sent them 2, report last week but no reply yet. Last veries to come in at close of season were, WPS-KFOI\r-CHOV-&TIAC and WSAP. Veries cr!rr!c in 95$ of reports sent. Log now totals 139i sta- tions and 873 veri-es, .I only started to verify i~ 1935 and by then lots of stations in the 1.og were deleted, Just too bad. Rest of DX dope here too oldn now to bz cn use,exespt for n station Art Brackbill says tests on 1-400 kc with good daytime sign21 in Lancaster, I was wondering if it could be WDIX in h r t Dix. Maybe It11 get down there to find out,but for r.ow this winds up my DXir_g for tne duration very probably,so I hope tlie rest of the fellows have good luck and 1111 try to keep in touch with the cl-ub-So Long. (OK Warren, as soon es you send your QRA this bull.etin will. be mailed. WiLI not send this one until then.-~cy) (~ood ~uck) GEORGE LUTHERQKERRVILLE9TE.XAS Darned little DX to rep3rt from this LP for --*

I hzvent'bsen 1-istening. Since May I hzve taken unto myself 2 job,48 hrs per week and a confirmed one-1.unger who has been "chasing the curefl for years must be careful to get his rest. So I have let what little DX there might be go by the boards in favor of the arms of Morpheus, Hol~aevr when

season begins to open up about October I expect 1 will compromise with snid Morpheus a Little for a few hours at the dials 2nd headphones Eovv and then for the game it too good a one to give up on, I am waiting with interest the opening of the new Baylor University-Coil-ins station at Corpus Christi, A 5OIQiil independent close by might be interesting, though if Collins runs too much like his XEAW progrsms I figure it wont add nuch to the radio world. Have been enjoying K\4/IDrs nightly recon- struct$dw broadcast of a big 3.ezgue 'bnsebaI.1 geme,condensed into 10:05 to IO:45EWT in t i m ~ on 15,290 kca but dont know as they would come in for you northeastern buvs,for they are benmed ~csoss the Pacific. Once in 2 while they are not very good here eithcr,they seem to be right in town somc times k$5 when KWID swing their beam to SUmerica.

JOE.LXPPINCOTT-CELO N , CAiiOLINA Many thcnks for the 254 for 6 t h prize in - the contest. I have been knovm to h.it better places in a contest but at least I lost nothing by being in it since I gotqmy 25q5 back-Hi.': 1 di-d'-'n'o$ expect a prize since I entered so lcite but I elways enjoy contests and this gave me a chance to have a. little fun. Received a verie yesterday from mBC for a report of March 8th. or1I.y 5 months. we1.1 better late than never even if it didnt count in the contest, I think that it is the only verie received sinceethe contest ended although I may be wrong.
