An American radio listener has reported hearing President Roosevelt’s speech on the Lend and Lease Bill from 4YZ, Invercargill. He is Albert J. Bartholomew, of Bradford, a small village located in thé central part of New York State, U.S.A., and he has written to 4YZ stating that he heard that station on March 16, when it was re- broadcasting from the BBC through 2YA. Mr, Bartholomew teceived the broadcast on a 1935, 8-valve radio, coupled with an inverted "L" aerial of 70 feet in length. He said that the reception was QSA 3-4, R3-5, with deep fading, but with very slight static. It is a rernarkable cotnmentary on the world-wide hook-up that an American could tune iftto another country thousands of miles away and hear a speech ftom his own President, especially as that station is the most southern broadcasting Station in the world, situated in the most southern city in the British Empire
