Commander Byrd
Broadcast by 4YA AYA was very successful with the Byrd Antarctic Dxpedition. The famous American is a very difficult man to get to the microphone, but AYA got him at the civic. reception which Dunedin tendered to him on Thursday evening last. The speeches of Commander Byrd and Chief Officer Lofrgren came through exceptionally well, owing to the fact that both men addressed the microphone, whereas other speakers unaccustomed to broadcasting kept turning round. 4YA also broadcast a description of the departure of the two ships of the expedition, the City of New York and the Hleanor Bolling, which left Sunday morning. 3YA rebroadcast the civic reception, but the daylight transmission on Sunday was not suitable for rebroadecasting.
