DAYLIGHT RECEPTION
Sir -I notice that in a recent issue ‘of The Listener a correspondent remarks that the new Rotorua station is better than 1YA. I should say it is, and why all the more distant listeners to the many daylight sporting fixtures don’t rise up in their wrath and demand an explanation igs a mystery. Or is it only here? It all started with the universal change of frequencies, before which it was a matter of indifference whether
one got his news or weather report or the running of the Auckland Cup from 1YA or 2YA. But what a change when 1YA came down to the 750 ke. level! Daylight reception practically vanished. For the first few days we excused the thing on account of necessary adjustments being made, but surely by this time something should be done. Here in the King Country at this time of year at 5.0 p.m., Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill and 3YZ come in at full strength, while one twists the dials from 3YA to 4YA without noticing 1YA en route. With the Empire Games in the offing, it would be as well if 1YA sent out a car fitted with an aerial and an ordinary household 5-valve receiver to locate "blind spots" in the North Island, and then return to their old 650 kc. again ‘and let 2YC have the 750 ke, At night time, of course, it is quite all right, and there are no complaints. But why the sudden loss of power when we want to turn 2YA down in daylight? There are no complaints about anv of the other stations.
