Valuable gifts are to be distributed in an exclusive Oak Park contest by the Boy son JewelryShoppe. *Tune down your dials to 231 meters c Monday night (silent night in Chicago) s and be all set to win one of the prizes. t The programs put out by station WCLO have been enjoyed by_ many Oak Park listeners who proclaimed them as good as any entertainment given by other sta- j1 tions, even the more pretentious high ^ powered ones. An evening of music and * fun is assured to all who succeed in logging this new and unusual station located \ in the Community building on the Camp Lake Oaks subdivision. This station is attracting much favorable attention both among radio fans and engineers as well. * Broadcasting on 231 meters with 50 watts c on the antennae it has been heard with full volume and perfect modulation from f Maine to Oklahoma^ from Canadian points to New York City, Philadelphia * and nearly all the southern states. They have been picked up in the heart of New j York city on a Saturday night when all j the high powered stations are on the p 'air and one fan from Newcastle, Pa., s reported they had been received in New-castle on a one-tube set.
