"THERE is not much to report in radio matters from Hawke's Bay this week. With a fair degree of safety it may be said that improved reception conditions are now ruling, mainly through the subsidence of the static which has been so much in evidence for weeks past. Goad volume is recorded from the main New Zealand stations, with the Australians rather weaker than usual. .Of course this is not the nightly position, but it may be taken aS an average. "THE relay from Auckland on Sunday night of the band concert in Wellington was again marred by static. The sooner that proposed line of relay ‘stations is completed, the better pleased local listeners will be. The Hawke’s Bay Society, by the way, has written to the Government urging the expedition of the sanctioning of the scheme. In this connection the Gisborne Listeners’ League has offered its solid support to the local society in the hope of getting a station located at Hastings. [HH Radio Broadcasting Company and the Post and Telegraph Department has now finally selected August 22 as the date for the relay of the concert from the Hastings Municipal Theatre, and it is hoped to make this one of the best concerts ever presented in the Dominion. The local Maoris will combine with the pakehas to organise a first-class concert of which Hawke’s Bay will be proud. IS Lordship the Bishop of Ao-te-aroa, president of the local radio society, will broadcast a short Maori talk from 8YA at about 9 p.m. on June 12. The writer advises all who wish to hear an eloquent orator and a most interesting man, to tune in to 3YA that night. His Lordship will be well worth hearing.
