California Hears 2YA

"No Distant Station As Perfect." IGH praise for the reception of 2YA overseas is quite the usual thing. One of the latest letters from California is from Mr. Kenneth Graham, of Montebello, California, and an extract reads as follows :-- "At 3.8 a.m. you began to come in like a local station. The first record I heard was ‘Constantinople,’ ‘Evening Star, ‘Get Out and Get Under the Moon,’ ‘La Paloma,’ ‘Celita Linda.’ These numbers were all very plain with plenty of volume, and I don’t mean maybe, and I played them all on loud speaker, so that you could hear them clear out in the front yard. I wish to compliment you on the clearness and perfect modulation of your station. Perhaps you will laugh at that statement, but I will assure you that is how good you came in. I have heard a good many distant stations, but none as perfect as yours. I could hear every instrument in the orchestra. No, it is not my location, it is no better than anyone else’s. You just have a good station. I have a set of my own design using six tubes. "Your announcer is very good, accurate, and distinct. Next week Los Angeles holds its mammoth Radio Show, at which time I will tell them all about your station. Don’t forget that." TTITTELLTLt ie
