2YA HEARD IN ALASKA.

GOOD DEDUCTIVE WORK. "This reception was with a 7 tube Atwater Kent Model 32, in the un. surveyed frozen wastes of Alaska, the land of the midnight sun, 140 miles from the nearest railroad," writes Mr. J, DB, Smith, of Chitina, Alaska, te 2YA. He reports that | the programme came in with plenty of volume. Mr. Smith had not the wave-lengths of the N.Z. stations, but after comparing his dial readings with those of the known Ameri-. can stations, he concluded that the wave-lengths of the N.Z. stations were: 1YA, 335 metres; 2YA, 422 metres; 3YA, 309 metres, Not too bad!
