"We'll hope so, anyway," said Bob. "But there's only one way to find
out, and that's to hook our set up and see if we get signals through.
And if we do--oh boy!"
"I'll bet it will work like a charm," said Jimmy enthusiastically.
"We haven't got to make much more now, have we?"
"We've got to make a panel and mount all these inventions on it,"
said Herbert.
"That won't take very long," said Bob. "Of course, we can't do it
to-night, but to-morrow's Saturday, and if we get started early we
may be able to fix things up so that we can hear something to-morrow
night. Saturday night is the time they usually send out the biggest
number of musical selections, and if we have luck we may be able to
listen in on them."
"Wow!" exclaimed Herb. "Won't that be the greatest thing that ever
happened? You can't start too early to suit me."
"Nine o'clock's early enough," said Bob. "Everybody come around here
then and we'll make things hum. There's still plenty to do, but we
ought to get it finished before that."
The boys were so excited at the prospect of actually operating their
set the following evening that they could hardly sit still two minutes
at a time. They laughed and joked and speculated on what would be the
first thing they would hear through the air, and finally Bob's guests
started home in an hilarious mood.
