Leeds? Turin? Rome?

"National Radio Week" was celebrated by attempts on several successive nights to exchange the programs of U. S. and European Radio Stations. For one hour, the U. S. radiocasters had the ether and the Europeans tried to keep still. For the next hour, the Europeans had the air and the Americans were supposed to do nothing but listen. The experiment was hardest on the Europeans because it was held from 3 to 5 A. M. London time, which in the U. S. are respectable hours of the previous evening. The object of choosing such inconvenient hours for the Europeans was, of course, to have the favorable atmospheric conditions which night affords.

The success of the attempt was partial but not complete. Some people heard and some did not. Some people thought they heard, and did not. Reception was usually fragmentary, although now and then quite clear. On some nights the success was much greater than on others. Frequently amateurs on both sides of the water heard more of the programs and more stations than did radio experts.

Americans believed they heard London, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Paris, Madrid, Turin, Cardiff, Birmingham, Leeds, Rome. Abroad the greatest success seemed to be in picking up station KDKA of Pittsburgh. WJZ (Manhattan), WCAP (Washington, D. C.) and WGY (Schenectady) were among the other U, S. broadcasters.
