NEW FREQUENCIES.
Sir,-The recent re-shuffle of frequencies must have left the faces of the authorities very red indeed. Certainly, so far as the Nelson area is concerned, the result is scarcely what we expectéd. Admittedly, the local station has improved. It is further afield that ‘trouble begins-2YC,: formerly fairly reliable, ig now inaudible four nights out of five, while 4YZ has disappeared completely, except in the early morning. Station 1YA, formerly the most powerful station in Nelson, is now weaker than 2YA, while the Commercials, never dependable, are now almost a complete "write-off." On’ the other hand, 2YD has improved, and is better than 2ZB ever was on the same frequency. Need I say that I find the changes exasperating? Just to add to the fun, 1YD turned up on 1290 kes. the other night. Can you tell me why?

(We referred this letter to the Engineering Division of the NZBS and received the followifig explanation: ‘The change in frequencies is a preliminary step in the plan for improved coverage throughout the coun- . try. This plan provides for the increase in power of many of the stations and it was essential for several reasons that these frequency changes should be made first. The higher power equipment is being installed at many stations now and this equipment will be in operation at an early date, as the in_Stallations are completed."-Ed.)
