The 1941 US Canada Cuba and Mexico pact changes radio wavelengths effective March 29 shifting many US stations off their familiar dials. Some stations like WPRO will stay while WEAN and WJAR move to new frequencies. The change aims to reduce cross border interference and give each country its own band. A parallel note highlights a blind baseball variant from St Paul, where players rely on a ringing ball and sound cues to bat, field, and run bases.
