2YA Does Not Fade.

I OTD Clear Reception in Australia. An interesting letter conveying testimony that 2YA’s transmission is not responsible fer local fading experienced in some parts of the Dominion, comes from Australia. Writing from Harbord, New South Wales, a correspondent to headquarters of the "RBC." Says i---"A splendid feature I wish to specially congratulate you on, that there is no fading with your station. I switch you on and leave the set, and yeu kecp the same veltume without touching the controls. rusting you keep up your good work, I beg to remain,G.C." One of the many appreciative letters received reads as follows. It comes from a listener at Cambridge, Waikato :- "May I be allowed to congratulate you on the programme broadcast from the King George Theatre, Lower Hutt, last evening. The reception on my instrument, which is a five-valve electric model, was almost perfect, static was singularly scarce, and the fading was almost negligible. "We hear quite a lot about the quality of programmes submitted to us in New Zealand, but I am well satisfied that the Wellington station particularly puts on as good a programme as any Australian station, and while you are prepared to give us such quality performances as the one last night, I am sure no one has need to complain. "Tay I congratulate your orchestra on the choice of pieces and also the execution of same. Also may I add a word of praise for the Broadcasting Company, who have provided us with so much this last week or two. The Eucharistic Congress in Australia, the home-coming of Tom Heeney, the flight of the Southern Cross and its subsequent following functions, have all been highly interesting, aud shows that the New Zealand Broadeasting Company are alive to all that is going. "Wishing you all success for the future."
