BETTER RECEPTION
Sir.-Better reception is a problem, in spite of your articles on the subject. Arthur T?.Cushen has brought forward some points 'with which I am in full agreement, and which I. hope will be taken further. During this past week I have taken particular note of reception conditions and have found that 2YA a 2YC are the only two New Zealand stations which are completely free from. background: noise. Tonight, with the time at 9.30, I had hoped to hear the National Orchestra (YC stations), but there is interference on both 1YC and 3YC. The two stations available to me are 2YA, which is broadcasting Parliament, and 2YC, which is broadcasting a wrestling commentary. Station 2YX I cannot raise at all. Many other stations are giving strong signals but not enough to overcome the interference which ruins good musical and spoken programmes. Does Australia need so many stations? The other night I found at least 20 ,
Australian stations broadcasting the same variety programme. You state that requests for a reasonable number of "clear channels" have not been met. Are the authorities here continuing to press for their rights in this matter? I would appreciate an answer to this question. F,. J. FORD (Collingwood). (The number of stations in Australia is not our concern; but New Zealand will continue
to press tor turther clear channels.
