The rebroadcast was never loud, but came through at fair loudspeaker strength, and was marred only at times by fading, chiefly on the broadcast wave band. The transmissfon by -FC was poor. Instrumental items were relayed from 2LO with no announcements. There was slow Morse interference throughout on the short wave transmission.
