Station Sidelights.

At 1YA, a good deal of the credit for ‘guecessfully rebroadeasting 3YA in daylight-a very meritorious achievement-is due to Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Hamblyn, on behalf of Messrs. Bond and Bond, Lté., whose six-valve set brought in the southern station excellently. The Auckland station has received high prise for the part it played in broadcasting the flight. The Dunedin station gave an exceptional account of it-self. It followed the flight from the commencement, till the conclusion of the addresses by the two leaders at 3YA. The local radio inspector, Mr. F. J. O’Grady, took charge of the reception of the plane’s messages, at his residence in Roslyn, on a screened-grid short-wave receiver, kindly lent by Mr. F. Barnett. The rebroadeast of 3YA preceding and dur-

ing the landing of the ’plane, was also conducted from Roslyn. Mr. O’Grady certainly upheld his reputation as an excellent operator. During 3YA’s long vigil, well over 100 records were broadcast. At 2YA, valuable service was rendered by Mr. G. R. McCarthy, of Mack’s Radio, to whom tribute was paid last week..
