BROADCAST VOICE WELL RECEIVED To hear a message sent twice across the Atlantic by short wave and then received with sufficient loud speaker strength to be enjoyed was the unique experience of G. W. Swann, Parkfield, England, in listening to Jesse Owens, American Olympic star, speaking from the stadium in Berlin. Owens’s voice brought to America by short wave, was again relayed by General'Eleac trie’s station W2XAD, and it was to this station that Mr. Swann tuned his iiet, according to a letter-received by the General Electric Company. “Listening to Owens after he had won the 100 metres race was just like being in the stadium with him.” Mr Swann declared in his letter.
