Review Of Conditions * Latest Overseas News ★ Reports From Observers ¥ Hourly Tuning Guide Summary of Present Conditions During the past month further indications of a gradual changeover to autumn and winter conditions have been noted, and have been confirmed by reports from official observers. Already indications are that 43 metres will provide some interesting DX later in the year. At the present time reception on this band is quite good during the mornings and late evenings, when any number of transmitters are to be heard when the noise level falls to reasonable proportions. The main interest here is the new Albanian station, “Radio Tirana,” now testing on 49.4 m. in the early mornings. Also watch out for the following on the higher wavelengths:—-FK 8 A A, Noumea, 49.02 m .; CFRX, Toronto, 49.42 m .; CHNX, Halifax, 48.94 m .; TGW B, Guatemala City, 46.2 m .; TGQA, Quezaltenango, 46.56 m .; X ETW, Tam pico, 49.6 m.; CS2WD, Lisbon, 50.15 m .; and ZNB, Mafeking, 50.84 m. Good reception is now being provided, both morning and evening, on 31 metres; and day light reception on this band should improve steadily during the coming months. “ Radio Tirana ,” Albania, has also been testing on 30 metres, 9970 k.c., usually around 6 p.m. A stranger on 31.49 m. is believed to be “Radio Warsaw .” TGW A. LRX, CXA-8 and OZF are interesting stations  to be heard at present-. On 25 metres night reception should soon become poor, but early morning and day light reception will improve. The Americans are still the best morning stations on this band. Unusual loggings this month include H V J, Vatican City; H IN ; and CB1190. Just below the regular 25-metre band XM HA, Shanghai; and HCJB, Quito, on 24.5 and 24.08 metres, respectively, are attracting a good deal of attention. Although 19 metres continues to provide some really extra ordinary reception, it is apparent that early evening reception is steadily declining, as the peak for reception on this band moves towards midnight. ZG0X, Chungking; TGW A and HAS-3 are reported. The last mentioned station is very strong at Sunday midnight. Both the 13 and 16 metre bands are becoming very erratic, with ever increasing periods of almost total “black-out.” Ultra-High-Frequency Notes Conditions on 11 metres (now the outstanding UHF attraction) continue to be reasonably satisfactory. From 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. is the period of best reception, with a peak usually around 11.30 a.m. W 9X U P is the steadiest signal; with W 6XKG and W 9XA also strong. The 9.49-metre band seems to have suffered a temporary (we hope) eclipse. On most occasions there was no trace of even the regulars. The 10-metre amateur band is improving as far as reception from North America is concerned. Very strong signals are to be heard around 11 a.m. Conditions on this band were very good on March 1 when a number of strong R9 signals were logged. W6MOU, W 9W TW, W 4F.JB and W 6PDB were about the best— the last mentioned being particularly strong. A few Europeans are still to be heard around 9 p.m. 11-Metre Stations. In addition to the stations listed in the special article by Mr. Ferrell, which appeared in the last issue of the “ Radio World,” the following transmitters have been allocated frequencies on 11 m etres. W 3XAU, 25720 k.c., 11.7 m., Philadelphia. W 9XTB, 265-50 k.c., 11.3 m., Des Moines. Austria. DJG, Vienna, is a new station reported on 17815 k.c., 16.84 m. It is believed to be on the air irregularly, broadcasting to South Africa around 2-4 p.m. Chile. The Chilean station, CB-970, is using the slogan “La Voz de Chile para toda la America.” They relay CB-76 on 9735 k.c., 30.82 m., from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily (occasionally till 4 p.m .). Reports should be sent to : L a Cooperativa V italicia, Lira 543, Valparaiso. Also new is CB-960, Santiago, onm 31.2 m. They announce as “Radio L a Americana, Compania de Seguros de Vida.” Schedule is 11.30 a.m. till 2.30 p.m. Another new Chinese station, operated by the Chinese Government, and located in Kwei-yang, Kwei-chow, is transmitting on 42 m., 7010 k.c. Call sign is stated to be X P S A ; schedule from 9.10 p.m. till 1.10 a.m. daily, with news service in English at 12 midnight. Yet another list of Colombian alterations. H J6F A H, Armenia, on 4870 k.c., 61.6 m. Was formerly H J6A B H. H J5E A D, Cali, on 4825 k.c., 62.3 m. Was formerly H J5ABD.

CJRO, 6150 k.c., 48.78 m., and CJRX, 11720 k.c., 25.6 m., two of the pioneer SW station s have gradually reduced their hours of transmission until they now are on the air only from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. The Cuban stations continue their practice of altering frequencies with rather bewildering rapidity. COCQ are the worst offenders; listed on 9740 k.c., 30.8 m., they have appeared on no less than SIX other frequencies within the last few months. These channels have been 8550, 8565, 8700, 8715, 8815 and 8835 k.c., or 35.1, 35.0, 34.46, 35.5, 33.6 and 33.5 m., respectively. COBC have been on 9970 and 9980 k.c., 30.08 and 30.05 m., in addition to their listed frequency of 9995 k.c., 30.02 m. COBZ have been on 9020 and 9030 k.c., 33.36 and 33.32 m. COCD on 6140 and 6150 k.c., 48.83 and 48.75 m. And COCH on 9450 and 9437 k.c., 31.75 and 31.8 m. Senor Rubio (our West Indies representative) informs us that the Havana civic authorities have changed the street numbers in that city. The addresses of the stations affected are :— COCO, San Miguel 314, Habana. COCQ, Monte 103, Habana. COBZ, San Rafael 108, Habana. COBC, Monte 467, Habana. COCVV, Prado 553 Altos, Habana. CO CM, Calle 25 No. 1113, Vedado, Habana. COBX, San Miquel, 570, Habana. COCA, Galiano 464, Habana. COCD, Calles 25 y G, Vedado, Habana. COCH, Prado 63 Altos, Habana. COCX, Reina 314 Altos, Habana. The new Italian on 9667 k.c., 31.03 m, relay in g 2 R O -3 /IR F programme^, puts in a strong signal. News in Italian at 8 and 9 a.m. will help to identify this station. It is understood that it uses a power of lOOkw. Several new transmitters are being used on the regular Japanese transmissions. In addition to JLG, 7285 k.c., 41.18 m „ JLT-2, 9645 k.c., 31.1 m., is believed to be on the air regularly, although there is no mention of this in the latest bulletins to hand from Tokyo. The station located in Managua, which operates on 9740 k.c., 30.8 m., uses the call YNRS. On the air from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Y NRS includes an English news session in the last part of its programme. Their slogan is “Radio Pilot” ; closing number is the Nazi anthem. It is owned and operated by Rodolfo Sangelman, Managua, to whom reports should be forwarded. A new and powerful station, located in Panama City, will soon be operating on 10680 k.c., 28.1 m. Call will be HOA. Lima, “ Radio Nacional del Peru ,” transmits on 15290 k.c., 19.62 m. Special programmes are sent to the United States. Metrcs/K.C. Chart Free To Readers. A supply of wavelength frequency conversion charts has been received from Messrs. Philip s’ Lamps (A ’sia ) Ltd. for free distribution among “Radio World” readers. This chart enables wavelength in metres to be instantly converted to frequency in kilocycles, and conversely. Commencing at 100 k.c. the table progresses in single k.c.’s to 999 k.c. (3000 to 300.3 metres). However, unknowns applying to quantities that are multiples or sub-multiples of those listed can easily be ascertained, and so the chart can be employed to cover the entire range of frequencies used in radio transmission. For example, 500 metres is equal to 600 k.c. The corresponding frequency for five metres (one hundreth of 500) is obtained by multiplying the frequency quoted by 100; thus it becomes 60,000 k.c., or 60 m.c. Readers can obtain their copies of this chart by writing “ Radio World,” 214 George Street, Sydney, enclosing a Id. stamp to cover postage. An experimental station in Bucharest, announcing as “ Radio Bucuresti,” is now on regular schedule on 8572 k.c., 34.9 m. H ours of transmission a re 7 to 10 a.m., and 11.15 p.m. to 1.30 a.m. Uruguay. CXA-2, Montevideo, relay s LS-2 (Radio Prieto, Buenos Aires) on 6000 k.c., 50 m., from 1 a.m. till 1 p.m. U.S.A. An interesting session from W 1XAL, 11790 k.c., 25.45 m., is the Modern Radio course, heard from 8 to 9 a.m. W 8XK, Pittsburgh, relaying KDKA, now observes the following schedule: 21540 k.c., 13.93 m.— 9.45 p m. till 12 midnight; 15210 k.c., 19.72 m.— 12 midnight till 5 a.m .; 11870 k.c., 25.26 m.— 5 a.m. till 2 p.m.; 6140 k.c., 48.83 m.— 2 till 4 p.m. The new Russian station on 6830 k.c., 43.9 rn., is located in Khabarovsk, Siberia; and its call is R FN. It is on the air from 5.30 till 10 p.m. RV-15, same locality, is still on 4250 k.c., 70.4 m., from 5 p.m. till 12 midnight. On occasions both' stations carry the same programme. It is also reported that RV-15 are on 6040 k.c., 49.65 m., but as yet there is no confirmation available. ★ Reports From Observers (N .B . All Times Mentioned Are Aust. E.S.T.) M r. G. O. La Roche (South Perth, West Australia ): On the S.W. broadcast bands reception from midnight till 4 a.m. is good, with all the regular stations at good strength. Generally conditions improve as the night goes on, peaking around 4 a.m. Day light reception has been very largely interfered with by heavy QRN. Best broadcast station loggings include the following:— 13 metres: W 8XK, W 2XE. 16 metres: W3XL. 19 metres: 2RO-5, XGOX, H VJ, RW96. 24 metres: XMHA. 25 metres: ..CR7BH, ..SBP, Saigon, COCX, XTJ, YDB. 26-30 metres: CSW -2 (27.17), ORK, COBC, JDY, COCM, Saigon (30.72), ZH P. 31 metres: JF O, W 3XAL, CS2AW, ZRK, VUD-2, KZIB, KZRM. 32-45 metres: COCD (32.08), COCA, COCQ (33), JV P, PM H. 48-49 metres: ZEB, VPB, CR6AA, ZGE, VQ7LO, COCO, XYO (Rangoon), 9MI. 50-100 metres: PMY, VUD-2, VUC-2, VUM-2, VUB-2, and several NIROM stations on wavelengths from 61 to 98 metres. As for the amateur bands, well, results on 20 metres have proved a trifle disappointing, conditions having been very erratic. TG9BA, Guatemala, was the best logging, putting in a very strong signal; this station is on 10 metres on Sundays at 11 a.m. On 40 metres two South Africans were heard at 6 a.m. on February 8 — it is interesting to recall that ZU5AC was heard at the same time time almost a year ago, namely, at 6 a,m, on January 28, 1938,

Pepin (Maylands, West Australia ):— DX conditions continue much the same as in previous months. 13 metres: G SJ (13.92) are not quite as strong as formerly. W 2XE (13.94) are heard only occasionally. 16 metres: Rome (16.83) put in a strong signal around 11.30 p.m., transmitting to Asia and the Far East. GSG (16.86) are definitely stronger since their power has been increased to 50kw. D JE (16.89) arc also good. W 3XL (16.87) fair. 19 metres: The Russian ..RW-9S (19.76) was heard on February 6 giving a commentary from an exhibition with workmen on the spot doing their various jobs, such as constructing aeroplanes, assembling motor cars and tractors, etc. Broadcast was in English. All the regulars on this band are still very good; the best period being from 8 p.m. till 12 midnight. 20 metres: H B J (20.6) was heard on one occasion with a musical programme at 1 a.m. KQH (20.1), “ Hawaii Calls,” is good on Sundays. 27-30 metres: The NIROM station on 27 and 29 m. still put in strong signals every night. JD Y (30.2) and 1RF (30.5) are regulars. The American ’phone WOM (30.3) was heard for a few minutes on plain speech. 31 metres: This band is crowded at nights—VUB (31.41) are good. On February 10 KZRM (31.35) were radiating a basketball commentary. H S 6P J (31.55) still comes in well, but the 15.77 m. transmissions of this station are not as good as previously. It was announced that these stations would operate nightly in the fairly near future. W 3XAL have been very good on several occasions on their new 31.03 m. channel, usually at 11 a.m. Above 31 metres: RW -59 w are logged on February 21 on 50 m. at rather good strength. Above 50 m. there is plenty of heavy QRM, but occasionally it is possible to hear PMY (58), VITB-3, RY-15 and YDA (98). Amateur Bands:— 20 metres: Best loggings included TG9BA,. F N IC (French India ), L A IF and SP1Q E. Also logged K6, VU. XZ, VS7, ZL, KA, VS6, PK, J, F and XU. 10 metres: A number of Americans have been putting through good signals, W 6POZ and W 9DRQ being very good. K6BNR, PK1VM and V E5AEZ were o th er loggings. VK’s heard were VK6MW, VK3BQ and VK3IW. Mr. A. R. Payten (Coffs Harbour, New South Wales): DX generally has been fair. I have spent most time between 9 and 11 metres, with reasonable success. The 10 metre amateur band has been quite good, and a formidable list of W ’s has been noted during the past few weeks, many of them putting through very strong signals. W6XKG, on 11 metres, has been heard on quite a number of occasions, usually rather weakly, but once or DX Club Requirements.

All QSO’s are put through amplifiers for the visitors. The Jap. on 41.18 m .— JL G —is strong around 5.45 a m., with news in English. A little later Paris is heard very well on 41.21 m. (7280 k.c.), also with a news bulletin in English. This transmission is simultaneous with TPA -3, 25.24 m. They request reports on the 41 m. station. On February 19 TA P, 31.7 m., were heard with a post-bag session at 6.25 a.m. Greetings were sent to listeners all over the world. Amongst those to w hom g re e tin g s w ere sen t w ere Mr. Moses, of the A.B.C., and Mr. Ray Simpson, the well-known DX-er. Loggings on 20 metres include: W, KA, K6, PK, ZL, VK9, VU, XU, J, CO, VP4, F, CE, and TG. Mr. J. Ferrier (Coleraine, Victoria ): Since my last report I have built a small portable, using two of the new 1.4-volt tubes. Complete with batteries, it is housed in an aluminium box 5" x 6" x 6." The antenna used at present is a 15" vertical. Really astonishing results have been obtained, and I am more than pleased. While carrying it around outside W ’s, XU ’s, P K ’s and K6’s have been heard on 20-metre phone: and O IU B A on CW. General DX has been poor, and nothing of exceptional interest has been logged. The 10-metre amateur band is improving as far as North Americans are concerned, but the Europeans continue to fall away. Best loggings from Europe, all between 9 and 9.30 p.m., are G, PA and SIT. It is pleasing to note that there are definite signs of activity on the 9- meter police bands. It was during March and April of last year that they were best, so it seems that we have something to look forward to during the next month or so. Mr. H. I. Johns (Nelson, New Zealand ): The remarkable feature of summer reception has been the fact that on both 19 and 25 metres, stations have been heard practically all day at good strength. As I write, at 10 а.m., there are five strong signals on 19 metres. The last few weeks have been very good for DX. No fewer than 33 stations in 23 countries have been logged and reports forwarded to them. During the American hour from Rome, 2RO-4, fro m 10.30 till midday, IQAy on 20.37 m., are now being used in addition to IR F for relay purposes. On 19 metres, as mentioned above, conditions have been excellent. W 2XAD and W 8XK are good in the mornings, 8 a.m. Berlin and London are very strong, as is the Jap ., JZK. VUD-3 is heard quite well after 1 p.m. with native music; this is followed by a news session in English, before closing at 2 p.m. RW -96 is heard at about the same time. Just before midday H C JB is heard with a strong signal (very good for this time of the year) on 24 m. During the afternoons the usual stations are W8XK (25.26) with news at 2.30 p.m .; W 3XAL (31), XEW W (31), and TGW A (30.9) heard as late as 4 p.m. After 4.30 p.m. VK2ME is heard on Sundays. Other loggings include:— D JX (31.01), fair signals around б.30 a.m.

K EI (31.68), heard just before 3 p.m. H B J (20.64), very strong signals at 6 p.m. Three Indian stations (Calcutta, Bombay and Madras) on 60 metres at 11 p.m. Difficult to copy on account of QRN. DZH (20.75) is on irregularly afternoons. Signals usually weak. CSW -2 (27.17) a t 5 a.m. One of the most consistent stations. TGW A (19.7) on Monday mornings around 7 a.m. Musical program m e. XGOX (19.7) a t 9.30 p.m. Lady announcer. JZ H (49.2) is irregular. Heard recently at 9.45 p.m. CR7BH and SBP are evening stations on 25 metres, best between 7 and 8 p.m. The Cubans, COBC, COCQ, COCM, are all good. COCH is heard around 3 p.m. CB-1190 (25.2) is heard from 1.30 p.m. till it closes at 2 p.m. W 2X A F (31.4) closes at 3 p.m. H V J has been heard on 49 metres around 6 a.m. TGW B (46.01) a t 4 p.m. Also heard with a special programme for the Archbold expedition in New Guinea. FK 8A A, New Caledonia (49.02), is on the air from 5.30 till 6.45 p.m. Uses only 50 watts. All announcements are in French. CXA-8 (31.3) is heard on Sundays at 4 p.m. with announcements in English before signing at 4.10 p.m. LRX (31.06) heard at 4.15 p.m. XM HA (24.5) opening at 7 p.m. Announcements in English. XGOY (32.09) heard at 9 p.m. with talks and native music. Call given frequently in English. (This station at Cheng-tu, previously thought to be XOY). Best amateur loggings for the month are HK3CO, PY 2JC, OA4AW and several K A ’s. Senor Richard F. Rubio (Habana, Cuba, West Indies): Senor Rubio forwards a very interesting budget of news, most of which has been incorporated in the section dealing with overseas stations. He writes that the 20-metre amateur band still continues to provide the best DX, although conditions are good on all the broadcast bands. His best amateur loggings include:— V S‘1, ZS, VQ2, CR7, FB8, VR2, RA, YU, PK, XZ, XU, VS2, CT, ON, G, VP3, YV, H K , LU, HC, XE and VK. During the month he added some very fine veries to his collection. Included were cards or letters from EAQ, CR7AA, Radio Lee (Belgian Congo) and Addis Ababa; and the amateurs, ZT1AE, ZS1AL, VK5FM, VK4TH, YV5ABY, YV5ACE, VK3BM, ZS6A J CM2AR, V U 2JL, ZL2BE, VK2HV, VR6AY, VK5ZL, VK5TR and J2M I. M r. J. C. Linehan (Adelaide, South Australia ). DX this month has shown some improvement, mainly on the 10 metre band and between 60 and 80 metres, where the QRN is easing off somewhat. I have been concentrating on 10 metres for some time past. At present the band opens up as early as 6.30 a.m ., and signals are audible till, about 1 p.m. New stations heard recently include KG6NVJ, Ja rv is Is land ; and K F 60D C and C02W M. Other 10 metre loggings include W ’s (mostly W 9’s an d W 4’s), ZL’s and P K ’s. On 20 metres FN 1C, French India, is the month ’s best logging. And on the whole the band has been fairly good. K A 1PI at the Manila Radio Exposition is on every night. Special QSL cards are being sent out to commemorate the occasion— QRA is Box 849, Manila. On the broadcast bands several interesting stations have been logged. These include “ Radio Tirana ,” Albania, testing on 30.9 m .; they announce that transmissions are on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. H CJB, on 24 m., is to be heard rather faintly around 10.30 p.m. XMHA, also on 24 m., are very loud, but badly QRM ’d by a code station. XGOX, on 19.7 m., are also strong — with a news service in English at 10 p.m. Recent verifications to hand include HC2HP. TI2L R (10 m.) W6-K T J (10 m .), H A 1P and CN1AF. M r. C. J. Anderson (Dumbleyung, West Australia ). This month’s reception has been very patchy. At times conditions have been very good, and this keeps the interest alive during the dull periods. As usual the 20 metre amateur band provided the best DX. FN 1C, French India;T G 9B A, Guatemala; and SP1Q E, Poland, were about the best, stations for the month. On February 21 a t 6 a.m. (Perth time) a number of Europeans were logged, but on subsequent mornings at the same time the band was quite-, dead. With more or less wintery conditions earlier in February I expected some good DX, but none was forthcoming. The following Cubans are good: COCX (25), COBC, COCH, COBZ, COBX, COCA, COCQ and COCW. A weak signal on 46 m. around 11 p.m. (E .S.T .) is thought to be TGW B. Another Guatemalan, TGW A, was heard on 19.7 m. a t 4 p.m., broadcasting a special programme to PK 6XX. This was on February 18. Also on 19 m. is W3- XAU, 19.65 m., heard in the mornings. Saigon was heard on 48 m. on one occasion at 11.30 p.m .— signals were strong but noisy. The 24 m. Chinese station, XMHA, is spoilt by QRM from a code station. ★ Latest Schedules Below are set out the latest information available regarding the transmitters and schedules of the '“regular” overseas shortwave stations.

Firstly, a card from COCQ confirms the report that this erratic station is now on 33m., 8830 k.c. Secondly, a comprehensive time-table of Soviet broadcasts in English is reproduced below. All times mentioned are G.M.T. Sunday: 8 a.m., 19.76 m .; 11 a.m., 25 m .; 3 p.m ., 50 m .; 9 p.m., 1774 and 50 m .; midnight, 31.25, 19.89 and 49.75 metres.

On the 7th, 13th, 19th, 25th and 31st, RV96 (19.76) starts a t 8.15 a.m. instead of 8. The following is the time-table of Radio Vaticano, English broadcasts, time H.E.C. Tuesday : 14.30, 25.55 m ., news, etc.;
 * 10 metres:—
 * 20 metres:—

16.30, 19.84 m., new s; 20.00, 48.47 or 49.75 m., new s. Thursday : 20.00, 48.47 or 49.75 m., Catholocism. F rid a y : 20.00, 48.47 or 49.75 m., diverse subjects. Sunday: 19.00, 19.84 m., new s, etc. Perhaps club members may be interested in the methods of identifying Radio Vaticano:— (1) The ticking of the studio clock for 5 minutes before transmissions begin; (2) the clock of St. Peters striking the hour; (3) “ Laudetue Jesus Christus” always precedes and follows any transmission.— B.

P.45 - Hourly Tuning Guide
HOURLY TUNING GUIDE When and W ere To Search Compiled by ALAN H. GRAHAM. In order to assist beginners and less experienced dxers, it is intended to publish monthly a special tuning guide, setting out at what times to listen for the more easily logged stations. It should be noted that the guide is not intended to cover all stations audible; for full details as to when and where to look for the best catches are given elsewhere.

The All-Wave All-World DX News

Official Organ of the All-Wave All-World DX Club.

World-Wide DX With The “Atlas All-Waver.” I am in receipt of the club badge and certificate, with which I am delighted. May I say th a t “A.R.W.” is the best m agazine ever, and I have been taking it for twelve months now, and always look forw ard to the next copy. Re the “A tlas All-W aver.” I built this up from the “A.R.W.” circuit, and started off by building up the detector and first audio stage w ith the output pentode. In its two-valve form I got fair results w ith pretty good selectivity. L ater on I added the r.f. stage and this seemed to give a decrease in selectivity, w ith a great increase in sensitivity. I am a t a loss to account for this decrease in selectivity though and would like to hear other readers’ views on the subject and also exchange experiences with others who have built this set. Using a P.M. 8-20 Rola speaker, I get plenty of volume on broadcast stations within a radius of 300 to 400 miles. Perform ance is good on short waves, but as I listen mostly on 20 m etres I cannot say much about the other bands. The following is a list of stations received on short waves:— 14 VK2’s, 8 VK3’s, 17 VK4’s 7 VK5’s, 7 VK6’s, 3 VK7’s, 4 VK9’s, 12 ZL’s, 6 K6’s, and XU8NA, VS6AB, CE1AH, OA4AI, ZS2C, XZ2DY, CO7CX, VQ4KTC, ZS2BU, 13 KA’s, 7 W’s, F8KI, G5AK, G8UR, GSF, GSE, KZIM, YLR, also m any others announcing in foreign languages.—B. Beresford (AW483DX), “Windy,” Quirindi, N.S.W. [Re your problem w ith the “A tlas,” you will probably find th a t adding the r.f. stage gives w hat amounts to only an apparent decrease in selectivity. Actually, the appreciable improvement it makes to sensitivity apparently broadens the tuning. The r.f. tuning control will be fairly broad, but the detector tuning should still be sharp. To obtain a still fu rth er improvement in selectivity, try the effect of coupling your aerial lead-in to the receiver through, say, a .0001 mfd. m idget variable condenser. W ith this set approxim ately half out, selectivity will be greatly1 improved, though sensitivity will suffer a little as these two factors are inter-related. Glad to know you are getting such fine results.'—E d.].
