The reception was not good, it being a bad night, and as there were no regular programmes broadeasted on this eontinent, the radio fans heard practically nothing. So far as known only one Timmins radio enthusiast heard anything from the overseas stations. This was Mr. P. Dougall who was able to listen in on plano amusic _ broadcasted _ from Aberdeen, Sceotland. As Mr. Doungâ€" all is himself an Aberdonian he was particularly pleased that he was able to receive from this station. He has written to Station 2â€"B.D., Aberdeen, Scotland, informing them of the inâ€" cident and giving particmlars of the part of the programme heard from their station.
