He may well have.  I have a number of  the "Radio" magazines from 
the late 1930s and 1940s as well as some early  "CQ"s   The offices of 
"Radio" move around some. They started in  Los Angeles and moved at some 
point to Santa Barbara. Eventually the  magazine was sold to an east 
coast publisher.   This is the same  group who published the "Radio 
Handbook" for many years, the one  eventually edited by Bill Orr.  The 
earliest editor was W.W.Smith,  the editor of Radio along with Frank C. 
Jones.  The staff listed in  January of 1940 included people like Herb 
Becker and Leigh Norton, one of  the founders of Penta Labs.  The ad for 
the handbook lists it as the  sixth edition so, assuming there was an 
issue every year it must have  begun in 1935.  The masthead for Radio 
says it was established in  1917 but there is no history of publication.  
In this number the  address of the publisher is Santa Barbara.  I can dig 
out some  earlier copies to see when they moved from Los Angeles but the 
old address  was on Beverly Blvd I think somewhere around La Cienega.  
That would  have been out in the sticks in the mid 1930s.  Hashafisti   
Scratchi does appear in this issue signing his QTH as Sainted Barbers,
