WAVELENGTHS
Sir-I think it is time the wavelengths of the New Zealand stations were attended to, as many are smothered by Australian and American stations. Some nights it is almost impossible to follow 1YA’s programme, and 2YA is not much better. With the ZB stations it is absolutely impossible.

(The Chief Enginéer of the NZBS replies as follows: "In the selection of wavelengths for the New Zealand broadcasting stations every endeavour is made to select a wavelength which will give the greatest coverage with the minimum of interference. As there are more than 130 stations in operation in Australia, and several hundred in U.S.A,, it is impossible to obtain a_ completely ‘clear’ channel or wavelength free of interference from stations in these countries at all times.’’)
