FADING TEST FINALE

A letter has been received from a tcuder residing on the ‘Taranaki coast uorth of Waitara, complaining of fading of 2YA and 8YA. Reception of 1YA, joever water, is not affected by fading. There are peculiar conditions around Taranaki that affect reception over the land in that district. This correspondent regrets being unable to send in a fading report. ‘‘Megohm" has for the present no interest in further letters on the subject. Listeners were given aun opportunity of registering all their troubles regarding reception and these have been fully dealt with. Some who were unable to send charts, wrote their own report and in many cases these were very useful. Our correspondent could have done the same, but it is now too late for letters of this nature to be dealt with, The work of investigating the reports has been a highly interesting task, and has shown that apart from a certain amonnt of dissatisfaction at the marring of reception by atmospheric and other causes, there is a vast amount of goodwill between listeners and the Broad: casting Company, und a keen appreciation of the programmes put over the ethers by 2YA.
