[A-DX] RE: Mittelwelle / Hamburg

[Roger <roger.roger@xxxxxx>]

Spaßeshalber hatte ich in meinem Index von "RadioBroadcast" nach 
"Hamburg" gesucht. Hier ein kurzer Auszug aus einem der frühesten Dokumente:

"What happened during the International Tests?
A Complete Report of the Plans, Their Progress and Success What Stations 
Were Qenerally Heard
How Bloopers Spoiled Reception The Qreat Popularity of the Regional 
Broadcasting Experiment
By WILLIS K. WING
...............On this side of the Atlantic, the greatest
number of broadcasting stations ever to take
part in a concerted plan of this sort were on
the schedule. There were the 37 Canadian
broadcasting stations, some 550 American broadcasters,
16 Mexican stations, 36 Cuban broadcasters,
one station in Porto Rico, one in Lima,
Peru, and three in Argentina taking part.
The cooperation of the Cuban stations was
secured by Mr. Frank H. Jones, owner of station
6Kw at Tuinicu. The cooperation of the
American broadcasting stations was practically
complete with the exception of several of the
California stations, notably KNX at Hollywood
and KFI at Los Angeles. The operators of KFI
it was announced, felt that their individuality
would be greatly limited by participation in the
Tests and confidently undertook to analyze
the desires of all the radio listeners within range
of their five kilowatts, and decided, to the tune
of wide publicity, that they would remain on the
air during the silent periods..............


THE BUSINESS OF VERIFICATION
REPORTS
"....Station OAX at Lima,
Peru was heard by more listeners than any other,
and that is no mean accomplishment, from the
point of view of distance and can be pointed
to with as much pride as the electrical bagging
of a European broadcaster. Reports on English
stations were few and far between, but all of the
English stations participating were heard in various
parts of the United States. Almost no Canadian
listeners heard British broadcasters. The
Madrid and Barcelona stations got through to
the United States very well also. Prague, Munich,
Berlin, >>>Hamburg<<<, Brussels, and Munster were
also widely reported during their transmission
times. Hamburg signed off in code with the
letters "h a" and one faithful reporter although
he did not know the Continental code, related
that he heard the name of the city and the code
sign, four dots, dot dash....."
