Major Eckersley, who some time ago visited Australia, has successfully demonstrated an amazing relay system, which is claimed to make that possible. He says that there is no limit to the number of stations to be i conveyed through electric light mains without interference. Major Eckersley is seeking parliamentary sanction of the scheme by which Continental stations can .be received on super-gear at ideal reception points and relayed to listeners, who simply press a button and hear the desired station with . perfect quality and volume which hitherto was not obtainable. even on the most costly receiving sets. , ‘ , Radio manufacturers who have sunk millions in plant are expected to oppose the scheme, as listeners simply require a loud speaker. Major Eckersley considers that each' country should reduce stations to two, using 1,000 kilowatts, thus enabling a 20-kilocycle separation and relieving the present congestion of the ether.
