This will verify your report on our test program of May 7th,

the fine interest you have shown in our station.

This station has been on the air since December 4th, 1939. We

are completely Western Electric equipped. The xmitter is a 310-B

feeding a Blau -Knox 175 foot tower. This is a perfect quarter-wave

antenna for this frequency. The ground is standard Bell Lab System

using 120 radials a quarter wave long with an 8 foot ground rod

at the end of each radial. On a circle 15% of the tourer height

away from the tower base there is a circle of 4 inch copper strip

to which each radial is soldered. Inside the circle mentioned

above there is a radial run to the tower base between each of the

long radials.

Our regular test programs are scheduled to be broadcast from 3:00

to 3:15 a.m. EST, on the Tuesdeay of each month. The next regular

test program will be broadcast on June 4, at this time. We would

WGMA is licensed to operate with 1000 Watts of power, however due to technical difficulties beyond our control it-was necessary to operate with only 600 Watts of power, during the broadcast.

The announcer conducting the program was the executive Vice President of Uome Federal Savings k Loan. Association, Mr. Robert Landis, an avid radio fan. Mr. Fred Wheelehan, our program director slept through the program having forgotten to mark his calendar correctly.

We are enclosing a coverage map of WGMA and a WGMA, Home Federal Hurricane Map as a souvenir of the broadcast.

Dear Mr. Maguire,

EUSTIS - TAVARES - MOUNT DORA - UMATILLA

March 14, 1956

It certainly was wonderful to hear from so many of you N R C members. When I cranked up our little 250 Watt coffee -pot on January 23rd at 3.30 A. M. Eastern Standard Time, I had no idea that so many ears and antennas would be pointed in the general direction of Eustis.

This (although typically radio -late) is to verify your reception of our specially arranged N R C broadcast on the aforementioned date. That definitely was W L C 0

that you heard. Thanks to all for your many gratifying comments. It sure took the curse off getting up so early.

Winner of the box of Citrus from the Livingston Fruit Company, Eustis (which, incidentally, was modified to jams, jellies, and other less perishable Florida goodies) was K. A. Mackey in Dunedin, New Zealand. Aside from New Zealand, Canada was the only other country out- side of the U. S. A. heard from on this broadcast. The States were well represented from coast -to -coast and border -to- border, for an over -all total of 63 replies.

Would like to have been able to write a personal note to each one of you, but, with being tied up at W L C 0, and making a change of jobs, it is necessary for me to take this easy way out. Right now I am lying on Florida's prettiest beach, soaking up the sun that only Florida can boast, and dictating this to my favorite Secretary, Mom. Tomorrow morning I leave for my new job at W R 0 D in Daytona Beach, Florida. (If you haven't logged them yet, let me know and we'll rectify that.)

Till I see you on the air again, 73s to you all:

RE: Verification

Dear Mr. Maguire:

Thank you for your retort on my 'equipment

test' broadcast of January 20, 1951. Your report covering the

period 4:25 to 4 :50 AM EST is quite correct.

Your verification is the 31st that I

have given of this broadcast, and your report adds the 15th

state to my list, for your report is the only one from N.M.

The most distant report ha: come from Oregon. Our rival state,

California, made a good showing with 4 reports while Penn. led

with 8 reports.

This broadcast was the firQt tr ,t :Xers

realy hHd the chance to log us, since we are a 1000 watt

daytime station (680 (C) and took the air Aug. 13, 1950. Our

facilities, however, are not new. The station was prior to

Aug. 13,1950 owned by Clearwater Broadcasters and operated

under the call WCLE.

I want to wish you the very best of luck

with your DX hobby.

Respectfully,
