There will be also some concerted items, duets, trios, quartets, as well as the song-cycle “Flora’s Holiday’,” written for four voices by Lane Wilson. Using a five-valve set without reaction on the detector valve, Mr. A. Collins, of 2, Auburn Street, Takapuna, has been successful in receiving station KFON of Long Beach, California, at full loud speaker .strength. Last night a very good programme was picked up, coming through clearly. Fading was bad near the end of the transmission, while morse from Awanui often broke through. It was announced that there will be a special New Zealand test transmitted next Tuesday. Several letters were read from listeners here reporting the reception of broadcasts from this station. Only two New Zealand stations are transmitting to-night, both 2YA and 4YA being silent. The Auckland programme will be largely’ rendered by a quartette of Hawaiian instrumentalists, known as the Tongans. After the interval, Mr. Wilson will give another of his organ recitals. 3YA will be on the air this afternoon with a description of the Rugby match between Northern and Southern Sub-Unions relayed from Lancaster Park. The evening’s programme will consist mainly of vocal numbers. Mr. D. Grant, M-A-» secretary of the Students’ Christian Union, will speak on “The Youth Movement” during the news session. The second half of the programme to be transmitted from IYA to-morrow night will be given by the Click-Clack Radio Orchestra. This jazz band has been heard on several occasions before, both from the studio and from the Click-Clack Cabaret.
