EMPIRE BROADCAST.
SYDNEY RELAY IN ENGLAND.
(bt CABLE—PEES 3 ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT.) (AUSTBALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, November 6. The British Broadcasting Corporation's attempt to relay 2FC was much less successful than J£eston's attempt last month, and was not good enough to relay till 6.40. Sir Dudley de Chair was then speaking, but only a word here and there was audible above the raucous noise of atmospherics. Mr Amery's voice was as easily recognisable as over the telephone from Whitehall, but the sjieech was not clear enough to be followed, being only spasmodically audible. Practically no complete sentences came over. Eeccption thereafter improved greatly, but the Sydney Post Office clock striking five was perfectly clear, and also every word of Mr Warren's message to the Wara-: tahs. '
It is reported that the transmissions from SSW were heard fully. The National Anthem and closing announcements were perfect. It appears that Sydney relays begin too early. Reception has always been best from five in the morning onwards.
