NOTES A Devonport listener reports reception of five American stations during- the last week. KFON, Long Beach (233 metres), KFI, Los Angeles (468.5) and KGO, Oakland, California (361.2) came in on the loud speaker, while WGY, New York, was received on headphones. This last station is on a wavelength of 379.5 metres and uses 5,000 watts. Station KFUT, Salt Lake City, Utah, on 261 metres and 500 watts, has also been received by the same person. Australian stations were received last night at good strength and with little interference by static. The Wellington station 2YA is improving in its transmissions. On Tuesday evening a great deal of the generator hum which has been noticeable in the past, had ben removed, while the tendency to fading shown during the first week had been almost completely overcome When the new apparatus arrives from America we can expect still better transmissions. A new relay line will be laid and special amplifying devices are to be installed in the operating room at Roseneath. The four New Zealand stations are on the air to-night with varied programmes. Mr. A. Ripley in tenor solos, Ingall’s Trio in guitar selections, and the Click Clack Radio Orchestra are to be the chief attractions at IYA. The first of a series of about 20 lessons on Esperanto is to be given by Mr. W. King from 2YA this evening during the news session. The Wellington Municipal Tramways Band are to provide the evining’s programme Vocal items and a talk on “The Plain Man’s Music” are the principal features of to-night’s transmission from 3YA, while war-time songs and reminiscences are to be sent out from 4YA. A description of the studio at 4QG is to be broadcast from that station this evening.
