Dear Betty,
I first heard about you when I read the book Amelia Earhart's Shoes. I was facinated by the role you played, mostly because I loved doing the same thing you did and that was hop around the dial especially on the Short Wave Bands. So when I got older I became a Ham Operator so i could understand more about the radio. What you heard is called a "Band Opening" this happens a lot on short wave during the peak of the solar cycles. I'm not sure they new exactly what band openings were in 1937 and I wonder if that's why so many authorities of the day thought that the radio signals were a hoax. I am still researching this corner of the mystery. About the Wyoming boy that heard signals around the same time you did. Some say that the articles about him contradict themselves, I did some research on my own and I did confirm the boy's name was Dana not Charles as some argue. He was buried in L.A. California in 1986. So as you can see how important your role is in this. I have been fascinated by this mystery since I was maybe 8 years old, that would have been around 1982. My Grandpa was a pilot and sold airplanes, he flew over the Burmuda Triangle a few times and would scare me about it with the Amelia Earhart story. So possibly you helped put an end to the mystery. By the way I was working a band opening the other day on 18megacycles to Japan from here in Colorado.
God Bless Your Sole,
Matt Barth
