NEWS FROM LONDON
Sir,-Can you explain why reception conditions of the 6 a.m. news from London has been so unfavourable of late? This morning after the 2YA announcer remarked that reception conditions were unsatisfactory, I hurriedly tuned in to London on the 31-metre band, and was surprised to receive the news quite clearly! On other days at 6 a.m. when news was being received accompanied by strange noises from Wellington, I have changed over to 3YA, from which station the news came through free from the accompanying noises. It seems Strange that this should be so for I understand that 3YA te-broadcasts from 2YA.-W. (Tauranga). (Conditions for reception of BBC sshortwave broadcasts usually deteriorate at this time of the year. It is not unusual for reception conditions to be worse in one part of New Zealand than they are in another, and this would explain the oorrespondent’s favourable reception of the BBC direct when conditions were said at Wellington to unfavourable. 3YA, Christchurch, does n always rebroadcast 2YA’s transmission of the news as it is sometimes possible to get a better pick-up by going direct to the BBC transmission, as the correspondent did). .
