That radio listeners remotely situated from this section find much interest in programs broadcast from the Carolinas is shown by correspondence received this week by Earle J. Gluck, general manager of WBT, in Charlotte.
Writing from Opato, Tamaki, New Zealand, Spence R. Ellis states that WBT is received here often, with good strength on the 1080 K. C. wave, about midnight." Another fan, writing from the Army post at Bermuda, and signing the name F. Russell, reports "your station is consistent in its power and remarkably free from fading. I am using a four-tuber, made by Phillips, of Holland, and it is a pleasure to know that almost any time from the late afternoon on, one can tune to 1080 Kilocycles and get such excellent programs from Charlotte, North Carolina."
W. J. Francis, of Coalinga, Cal., says that "Any station that comes through as good, and as far as your does deserves a word from its listeners. You sure come through with the kick of Niagara Falls behind it; some difference from some of our hay-wire stations out here. We particularly enjoy your Carolina Minstrels program."
Commenting on the consistent flow of letters from far away listeners, Mr. Gluck states that "when WBT's application for 50,000 watts is approved and the equipment put into operation, it seems logical to believe that people all over the world will consistently turn in on programs from the Carolinas."
