NEWS SESSIONS
Sir,-I suggest that you could improve your list of Daventry transmission, and in much smaller space than at present. You commonly mention about six Daventry stations. List these at the top with their frequencies and wavelengths — even eight stations would occupy only four lines. Then obviously each transmission, even if by three or four strongly received stations, would comfortably go in a single line, and would give sufficient room in it for a fuller indication than at present of the nature of the broadcast.

(Christchurch).
P.S.-I see that when you altered2YH’s frequency you left the wavelength unchanged, presumably having forgotten how to calculate the new value. One need only divide 300,000 (the wave velocity in appropriate units) by the frequency to get the wavelength — or vice versa if the other is wanted. Hence the change from 760 to 750k/c changes the wavelength from about 395 to exattly 400 metres, Incidentally, your "k.c." is exactly as wrong as M.S. would be for MS. Both are unheard of. (What about P.S., our correspondent’s own abbreviation of postscript? And if we are to follow the example of MS., why not follow it to the end and use KCC. for Kilocycles (plural) ?-Ed.).
