BETTER RECEPTION
Sir,-Your reply to a Collingwood correspondent (July 30) cannot pass without comment. To many of us the radio is our sole means of entertainment, and of contact with voices other than those of our own homes, and we have a right to more consideration regarding better reception. At present, of an evening, our listening is practically cut out. We are not interested in Parliamentary broadcasts. Our listening has been mostly done through the YC stations, and these we cannot listen to at present because of interference from Australia. We particularly wanted to hear Andrew Gold’s farewell concert recently, but it was hopeless because of this interference, Other concerts by visiting artists and the National Orchestra have been denied us for this same treason, Your reply that "New Zealand will continue to press for further clear channels" is just not good enough, I would like those responsible for better reception to come and live out in the -wilds, where radio is our sole means of entertainment. Then I guess something would be done about it:
