BETTER RECEPTION
Sir-The data showing frequency of certain New Zealand stations and the interfering Australian stations given by W. F. Chubb is interesting. But-the editorial note in reply is not convincing. Here in the Waikato we are at our wits’ end: all the programmes worth hearing are on the YC stations-after 8.0 p.m. we cannot hear either 1YC or 3YC for violent interference from Australia, (It seems incredible that three Australian stations-Warragui, Warwick and Perth with a total output of 0.8 kw.-can so wreck 1YC on 10 kw.) When Parliament is sitting 2YC is relegated to 2YX, and this we cannot hear at all. Why not Parliament on .2YX, if there are any listeners, and leave 2YC alone? ‘In sum: of the four YCs, 4YC is left to struggle; and this, Sir, does not tally with your contention that 2YC is on greater power to give it "useful" coverage over most of the country. Taking the population of the Auckland Province into consideration, and its ratio to the rest of New Zealand, do you consider an output of 10 kw. fair? If it is not "economically justifiable" to increase this power, it leaves South Auckland from Raglan to the Bay of Plenty in an exasperating position.
