With the Branches NORTHLAND reports two record meetings, Two new members, Miss G. Roycroft and L. Madden were welcomed. The best verification for June was WNOE. 2MG has been verified by a Whangarei member. A visit from Auckland members has been arranged, " F.M." Broadcasting Frequency modulation broadcasting has been hailed as one of the most significant contributions to radio in recent years. Complete agreement among engineers of the manufacturing and broadcasting industries has convinced the American authorities that "F.M." is ready to be placed on a full commercial basis and the way has been paved for this move. The frequency band of 42,000 to 50,000 kilocycles has been made available. This will provide 40 "F.M." channels each 200 kilocycles wide — thirty-five to regular high frequency broadcast stations and five to non-commer-cial educational broadcast stations. The radio industry indicates that receiving sets capable of receiving standard broadcast and "F.M." emissions will be available. The chief claims for "F.M." are that it gives more fidelity and less interference than standard broadcast. It is expected that standard broadcasting will continue to render full service for years to come; and it is impossible to predict the extent to which American listeners will be attracted from broadcast to "F.M." News from Switzerland The Editor, "The Listener." Sir,-Recently I have been in communication with the Swiss radio station at Bern, and the following is an extract from a letter I received from them, which may be of interest to those readers of The Listener who listen in on the shortwave: "Our transmissions for Africa which we now broadcast at 18.45 and which from July 1st shall begin at 19.30 Swiss time, can be received in New Zealand every Wednesday and Sunday at 05.45 a.m. N.Z. time, and from July ist on these same days at 06.30 a.m. N.Z. time. Please inform all your friends about it, who are interested in broadcasts from Switzerland." They also state that they are thankful for any reports concerning reception and quality of the broadcasts, The wavelength for Africa is as follows: 26.31 metres, 11.402 kilocycles. Yours, etc.,
