Alaska Dances to Wellington Cabaret. "Ws wish to advise that we are enjoying your programmes practically every night. I pick you up with sufficient volume to be heard on the loudspeaker, and sometimes your station can be heard for a distance of three and four blocks. "Last night I picked up the programme broadcast from the Columbian Cabaret, and my wife and I had several dances to the splendid music as rendered by the orchestra. When I first picked you up it was 11.45 p.m. our time, and according to the time signals given by your station, there is a difference of 18 and a half hours between Wellington and Anchorage, Alaska. I picked you up Friday, and listened to your Saturday night programme, Wishing you continued success, and thanking you for the splendid entertainment you are giving us,’’-"P.B.," Anchorage, Alaska, Wonderful Transmission. "AT this moment your wonderful transmission is rolling in with such wonderful tone and volume as to make my loudspeaker prove its value. When the band plays it is impossible to hear one speak, even if we shout.""G.W.," Cooranbong, N.S.W. Two Valves for Long Distanee. AM sure you like hearing from Australia how your stations are being received here. I am living on a sheep station 875 miles from Sydney, North-west, and I am using a two-valye set, and it is the best I have seen for long-distance work. I switch on to you about 7.30 here, and ean hold you till you close down at 10 pm. Your station is quite up to the standard of our A class stations here,"-"A.W.L.," Boolearrol, N.S.W. i

Appreciation of Programmes. "TT USE a line to let you know that I receive your programme, which are equal to any over here, very clearly and distinctly, with good volume, on my five-valve neutrodyne. Tonight at 10.20 an orchestral item, "TJumoreske"’ from your station was very much enjoyed by several people who were listening-in 200 yards away from my house."-‘"D.6.," Coonamble, N.S. W. . More Appreciation. "Your programmes have been @ | source of pleasure to me for the ‘past three weeks, primarily because you know how a radio enthusiast feels when he can ‘bring them in’ front far away. And also because your programmes are well selected, and must please many ‘listeners-in’,"-» *T,B.," Ifolly wood, California,
