Unexpected Notice

"THE New York "Radio News" states: Did you ever find the set quite dead, and wonder whether to start "fault-finding,"’ as our British cousins say, or to wait an hour or so for the station to resume after, presumably, an SOS? If there were only one broadcast station in the State, the question would be even more pertinent. The Wellington, New Zealand, Radio Society recently took up the question of

asking their local 2YA to hoist a red light on an aerial mast whenever — the transmitter unexpectedly shuts down; but one humorist suggested, instead, that a cannon be fired for the benefit of the listeners out of +*-ht of the towers (2YA is a five-kilowatter). The "Radio News" missed the mark, however, in assuming there:is only one broadcast station in New Zealand.
