Another Re-Broadcast

ANOTHER successtul re-broadeast took place last Sunday evening when crystal set users in Christchurch heard for the first time a re-broadcast of 1YA, and thoroughly enjoyed the half-hour of concert provided by the Auckland Municipal Band under Mr. Christopher Smith. The re-broadcast is notable from the fact that the wavelengths of 1YA and 8YA are so close together, yet 8YA was able to make an excellent re-broadeast, the novelty of which, as well as the splendid music provided by the Auckland band, appealed to all listeners. The Auckland station was picked up at the home of Mr. J. M. Bingham, the chief engineer of the broadcasting company, and relayed to the studio.
