NEVER, never "just tune in "! You do not go to the first show you
pass, nor read the first book you pick up. Is it not just as sensi-
ble to be fastidious in your choice of radio entertainment? The
hours you spend with your radio are really more important because
they constitute a very substantial part of your entire leisure.
In the matter of choosing radio programs, however, one must take
into consideration the very human propensity to follow the path of
least resistance. When we turn to radio in the evening, we are relax-
ing, and the thought of hunting a newspaper, of having to annoy
some member of the family who may be reading it, of handling
large unwieldy sheets in finding the radio page, of having to digest
long columns of station programs to find the features of the

moment in fact, the combination of these thoughts usually
results in snapping the set on and taking the first thing that
comes from the loud speaker if it does not displease. In doing
this, we overlook, time and again, excellent entertainment
that we would thoroughly enjoy, while we only half listen to
the program we do tune in.
WHAT'S ON THE AIR eliminates all of the bother ! It is
always near your set. At the exact time you tune in, it tells
you with almost no effort on your part what the big chains
and powerful nationally popular stations have to offer
at that moment. You not only learn what features are
available but also know what kind of entertainment to
expect. For example, if your mood calls for a symphony
concert, WHAT'S ON THE AIR tells you where to
look for a symphony concert; if your guests want to
dance, it immediately gives you a list of dance orches-
-
tras on the air at the time in short, it tells you
where to find what you want, exactly when you want it.

LENGTH GUIDE Whenever you find it convenient, draw a few lines from the arrows opposite the wave
lengths of the stations you tune in frequently to the points on the representation of a
detector dial to the right, corresponding to points at which these stations "come in ".

ENTERTAINMENT want in the schedule column applying to the time you are tuning in.

TO MAKE A Ascertain which of your local stations are broadcasting chain features at the moment.
LONG DISTANCE Tune in one of these and find out what number is being rendered. Then start your
TEST (DX) detector dial at either end of its arc and turn slowly. As soon as you hear the same
number, note your dial setting and check back from your scale to the wave length
to find the wave length of the station to which you are listening. In this manner, you will be able to
know, without being obliged to wait for call letters, just what station you are receiving. If two cross
reference numbers are listed, an appropriate chain color index will guide you in making the identification.
By turning back occasionally to your local station to verify the number being sung or played, you can
go through the entire list and identify many stations in far less time than would be necessary if you
were to wait for call letters.
