'TIP-TOP PROGRAMMES'

APPRECIATION FROM OVERSEAS A VICTORIAN correspondent writes the following appreciative letter to 2 YA:"T must- write to let you know what I think of your station and the programimnes you put over. I have only a four-valve receiver working off a 40ft. aerial, 40ft. high, but the reception from your station is wonderful. At times it is that loud that it is wncomfortable, and we have to cut down the volume. It sure shows some of the local stations some points as far as the programme goes, 3L0, Melbourne, comes first in mz estimate, then 2YA a close sevond. Although in the summer months here the static is sometimes deafening, I usually manage to get your station at least once | a week. However, in the winter months we bave no trouble at picking up 2YA, but the other New Zealanders are hard to get even on the ’phones. "IT am enclosing a snap of the set on which I receive 2YA. As you will see, it is-no special set, but just the usual standard Browning-Drake circuit. J, have it out in a tent, and I have’ some trouble with dust, which is rather plentiful here. You can see by the size of the speaker that we have to have some volume to make it uncomfortable to listen to. "I wish you every success in the future, and am looking forward to hearing some more of your tip-top programmes this winter."
