BETTER RECEPTION
Sitr-In your issue of September 4 you published a letter from "Country Folk." The substance of this letter must be wholeheartedly endorsed by many Nelsonians. While Parliament is being broadcast, 2YC’s advertised programmes cannot be heard in Nelson. Hopefully, we try 1YC, 3YC and other stations. Even if our hopes are realised at first, in a very few minutes the voices of one or other Australian station completely obliterate the programme. But there is no need for me to give you further information on this vexed subject. The station which can be heard, and heard well, in Nelson itself and in most at least of the surrounding districts is our local station 2XN. For an all-too-short 10 or perhaps 15, or even 20 minutes, 2XN may broadcast a delightful programme, but in no evening is there a programme approaching in quality those to be heard from the YC stations. Nelson listeners pay their licence fees. Might it not be possible to’arrange that for at least one or two evenings each week we should have two or more hours of music, plays, talks, etc., of the quality that cdn be obtained by most other New Zealand listeners?
HOPEFUL
(Nelson).
