"Calling C -Q, any 715 metre

Settforth, Ontario. Came in some-
one, please."
L1 as low-, quiet voice Ian Mac -
'ravish, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
'fcihn NacTavish, was speaking into
the microphone. at his amateur
short-wave 'broadcasting station at
his home on IGoderich street the
other evening:.
There was a click of a swi•tch.
and a 'loud speaker began to give
out a variety of sounds as the •dial
was slowly turned. Then cut of the
air came:
Calling VRINZR. 'Seaforth;
VD... at \lintico, cllbintg VT :3i%IR
at Seaforth, and standing 'by."
Theswitch clicked again a pair
of loge tubes at the bottom of the
,six -toot talo'broadcasting panels
flickered :with a 'bine light, while
11,1 was on the air again, replying
to the station at Mintico.
The interested spectators 'felt a
thrill closely akin that of a fisher-
man casting This line and getting an
immediate and vigorous pull on the
hook.
The most distant station that Ian
has :talked with is in IAnastra-1ia,
which is on :the other aside of the
world, and about 10,005' miles
away ---these contacts are by spoken
word, not code signals.
Distant amateur stations ex-
change cards . through the mail,
about the size of 'postcards, con-
firming a talk over the air. taut has
a large collection of .these acknowl-
edgments, some of the .most inter-
esting being from Czechoslovakia.
Prance. Cuba, South :America, be-
sides various ;parts of the United
States and Canada.
Besides distant ,stations, there are
many •Ontario stations 'with which
•frequent contacts .ale made, ,many
becoming personal 'frien'ds.
Se:north has two amateur sta-
tions, the other one being operated
by rEc. Daly, who has, also a very
efficient equipment. ent
I P Ruth young
men have worked together Inc some
years constantly experimenting
