Reception in Vancouver

Report on N.Z. Stations CORRESPONDENT, M. H. Thoreau, of Vancouver, writes :- The heterodyning of 1YA early evening is caused by KHJ, Los Angeles. Here in Vancouver 1YA puts a bad whine into KHJ’s wave. March and April seem the best for reception of your stations here. Last year at this time they were coming in good, and for several nights lately 2YA has been particularly good, with 1YA and 3YA fair at times. What do you New Zealanders do for radio after 10 o’clock? Maybe you go to bed. ‘here are several stations on the Pacific Coast which are going all night and many until 1 and 2 a.m. ISven with the great difference of time I have heard your stations sign off and then tuned in a dozen stations here on the coast. From a friend who recently visited your part of the world I learn that particularly the Australians retire much earlier than those on this continent. Apparently the "best-sellers" with us to-day are the kits which tune both grid and plate, using shield grid type of valves. I would be glad to hear from any motion picture projectionist-radio listener (combined) who might care to waste. a stamp-MARVIN H. THOREAU, 8281-34 West, Vancouver, B.C.
