NAURU HEARS 2YA

APPRECIATION FROM 2400 MILES. — "KW.T." (Nauru) writes :-- "You may be interested to know that the programmes broadcast by your station have been received here in splendid strength, and I must also congratulate you on the quality of your programmes, "We have here a Marconi YC3, 4 valve, wireless telephony and _ telegraphy set.used hy the Commission for daily communication with Ocean Tsland by speech or morse. A 4-valye amplifier and loudspeaker is also available if required. "Unfortunately, we cannot use the set for receiving broadcasting on week days, as an Electrical Dust Precipitating Plant (60/100,060 volts) sets up violent interference. However, on Sundays and occasional week days we can listen in, ‘Yast night the band concert you broadcast was received here perfectly, and we were sorry when you closed down. In my opinion, the notes of the piano being played were heard here quite as loudly as one would expect to hear them if seated in the rear of the hall where the concert was held. "YT quite look forward to hearing you again next Sunday nielt. Other stations received here are 8LO, 8AR, 2BL, 2EC. 40G, 1YA and Tokio (Japa). "The people of Wellington certainly know how to applaud. "The distance from Nauru to Wellington is about 11 days. by tramp steamer -say about 2100 miles." |
