2YA Transmissions

Further Tests on Thursday FURTHER test is to be made regarding the transmission of 2YA. This is to take place on the evening of Thursday, February 14. During the month of January the station operated on alternate nights under crystal and master oscillator tube control respectively, and on the last night of the test both systems were in use. On Thursday it is proposed that there should be a further test, the two systems being again in use, just as on January 31, save that the order will be reversed. _ On Thursday, February 14, therefore, the station will run under crystal control until 9 o’clock, there will then be an interval to allow the change-over and for the second half of the programme transmission will be under master oscillator control. This test should provide conclusive proof regarding the two methods of control. As on the previous occasion, the same record will conclude the first portion of the programme and will open the second half. HILBE the reports to hand regardgarding the two systems point to a definite conclusion, the new test has been arranged in order that there shall be no shadow of doubt and no question raised on the score that the conditions under which the test was conducted favoured either of the two systems. Pending the receipt of the reports on the final test as above, on February 14, the reports will not be tabulated nor fully investigated.
