Talking
in
the
Antarctic
Regions
Making
a
record
in
radio
reception
here,
Dave
Eastman
of
this
city
picked
up
a
message
from
Commander
Byrd,
who
is
now
in
the
Antarctic
The
message
was
sent
to
Pittsburgh
short
wave
station
KDKA
from
Commander
Byrd's
station
WCST.
The
messuge
mentioned
that
they
were
doing
well,
mentioned
the
names
of
a
nunbc;6t
the
men
arid
told
of
having
discovered
some
new
land
there.
Mr.
Eastman
uses
a
short
wave
receiving
set
that
ho
made
himself
and
which
he
has
operated
for
the
past
two
years.
He
says
he
has
given
up
using
his
long
wave
set
because
he
gets
so
much
better
results
from
the
other.
It
is
not
so
much
affected
by
weather
conditions
and
static.
Among
stations
he
has
heard
at
different
times
have
been
Malabar,
Java;
Eiffel
Tower,
Paris;
and
the
Australian
and
Japanese
stations.
It
is
quite
a
regular
thing
to
hear
Moscow.
He
says
that
the
call
letters
are
always
given
in
English
as
well
as
the
native
tongue
and
some
of
the
broadcasts
are
in
broken
English.
Another
advantage
of
the
short
wave
set
is
theiact
that
it
can
be
used
all
day
as
well
as
at
night.
