1XH to Open on July 2
SATURDAY, July 2, has been fixed as the date for the official opening of the new two kilowatt radio station, 1XH Hamilton, which has been erected by the NZBS to serve listeners within a radius of from 30 to 40 miles of the transmitter. When the official opening at 8.0 p.m. is over, a programme will be presented by a number of Hamilton artists. The most important work going on at th& moment is the laying of the earthmat and erection of the 175ft. mast at the junction of the Morrinsville and Rotorua Roads. This operation is being carried out by engineers of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service who have just finished putting up a new 400ft. -sectionalised mast at Titahi Bay, Wellington, to transmit programmes from Stations 2ZB and 2YD. _ Usually the earthmat is laid after the mast has been erected, but this time, for the sake of speed, the engineering. staff is laying the mat, with its nine ‘miles of wire, first. The pegs and guyanchors are being driven into the ground in such a way that the ‘mat, which is nine inches below the surface of the ground, will not be damaged.
