RADIO INTERFERENCE

Sir,—Since first complaining through your columns about interference from 3ZB while listening to 3YA programmes, I find such annoyance is not only localised'in St. Albans, for precisely the same trouble is occurring with listeners.known to me in Spreydon and Addington, all with modern sets and efficient aerials, earth wire, etc. As 3ZB is now being broadcast direct from the studfo buildings, is it not possible to reduce the power of its wave length for such close-in broadcasting (previously North Beach) or by any dthe ( r means to remedy a [glaring fault which at present only [leads to confused jumble in reception? It is necessary for those in control of the commercial station to obviate such discord for ;3YA listeners.—Yours, etc. 25s FOR WHAT? June 3, 1943. [This letter was referred to the* engineer responsible for technical work at both stations, who made the following comment: "The trouble may occur in any district, •but, as far as we know, it is still individual receivers who are at fault. We will be pleased to help. If the persons having this trouble will get in touch with the engineer, at the 3YA building in Gloucester street, the matter can be thoroughly investigated."]
