NOTES Listeners throughout Auckland are loud in their praises of the programme, provided by the Aeolian Orchestra, which was broadcast by IYA last Thursday night. All are agreed that is was one of the finest transmission from this station that they have heard and arc hoping that another similar musical treat will be arranged shortly. Station 3YA could be heard quite well here yesterday afternoon when a relayed description of the races at Addington was being put on the air. The transmission, unlike that from 2YA the day before, remained steady throughout. Mr. Allardyce is to be complimented on his .lear descriptions of the events. Mr. C. E. Wheeler, who has been in the Press Gallery for 20 years will commence a series of addresses from 2YA to-night. He calls his lectures: "Parliament: A View from the Inside,” and as he is an observant pressman with long experience, his chat- should be very entertaining. The lecture is timed to start at 9.4 p.m. Several American stations have' lately changed their wavelengths. A few of the more important are given below. We hope to publish a fully revised list shortly. KGO.—Oakland, Calif., 354 metres; 5,000 watts. KFO.—San Francisco, 422 metres, 1,000 watts. KYA.—San Francisco, 309 metres; 1,000 watts.
