Ja, danke für den Tipp, gute Infos.
Aber ich "schmökere" natürlich auch gern in dem Originalmaterial von 
damals, aus den "Goldenen Zwanzigern"....da fühlt man sich wieder 
richtig jung... ;-)
...und bei so etwas reibt man sich auch erst 'mal die Augen:
"....The following American stations are heard regularly in Samoa :
KFI Los Angeles.........4.750 miles
KHJ Los Angeles.........4.750 miles
KPO San Francisco.......4.750 miles
KGO Oakland.............4.75O miles
WJAZ Chicago............6.555 miles Wednesday working WNP
WDAF Kansas City........6.110 miles Night Hawk Frolic
Other stations heard at various times are:
KLX Oakland.............4.750 miles
KGW Portland............5.080 miles
WBAP Fort Worth.........5.850 miles Test only. <=== WBAP ===
CFAC Calgary............5,620 miles Test only
An examination of the two lists clearly shows that international 
broadcasting between the United States and Samoa is carried on during 
the winter months of the temperate
zone. Our small receivers consistently night after night reach out 5,000 
miles and bring in American programs. It may be there is a scientific 
explanation for the
long distance records made in Samoa. A study of the territory covered by 
the larger stations plotting the most distant points reached might be 
interesting. I know that
maps showing the territory covered by KFI, KGO, KPO, WHB, and WJAZ would 
be interesting to the amateurs of Samoa. Very respectfully yours,
QUINCY F. ROBERTS,
American Vice Consul in Charge...................."
