SOME OUESTIONS
The Editor, "The Listener." Sir,-Will you grant me space to ask some questions? :-- (1) Why must we be afflicted of a morning by an announcer saying Wan Way Aeaeae for 1YA, and even worse? Should not the very first essential of a radio announcer be a reasonably distinct voice? (2) Why are so many of the loud selections and vocal items put on so late in the evening when most folks are trying to get to sleep? (3) Why is Wellington selected for the re-broad« casting of Daventry news when it is so difficult, owing to atmospheric conditions, to hear 2YA even under normal circumstances. With a modern ‘set it is possible to get Daventry and European stations direct, very clearly on most occasions and without using much volume; but the relays from 2YA give us the extra local static both coming and going. Yours. etc..
