On the Other Side

2YA Comés, in Well’. N a lengthy letter, Mr. Homer G. Gosney, of Redondo Beach, California, describes the reception he. eujoys of 2YA. The reception of the Wellington station is now so good, especially when compared with the Australians, that he is under the impression that 8LO and the rest have reduced their power, "so that theit broadcast is almost. insignificant." oo "Three years ago," he says, "I held 4QG two hours and forty minutes, At this time I considered it the best réception. I had. heard.from any of the trans-Pacific stations, However, your: broadcast of this morning climaxed anything in this line I ever picked up from the South.Sea country. It was simply immense, I assure you. "Have no anxiety.regarding your broadcast being heard along the Pacific Coast., Candidly, you are so far ahead of 8LO, 2BL, 2FO,,.2GB, 5CL, and 4QG that their broadcast is almost insigni--ficant since their.reduction in power. | "Hurthermore, 2YA can be depended upon (weather permitting) as a suite bet ary. time after 1 a.m., PCT,: 8.30 pan. your time, A local Los Angeles station, KMPO, 422.3. metres, completely heterodynes. yourearrier before 1 am. POT." * 0° In offering to forward a copy of a ‘magazine, "Radio Doings" call book, Mr. Gosney remarks: "Tn it you will find much interest to any broadcaster, inasmuch as it is 2 mine of information. Moreover, it will tend td. give you some idea of the num-

ber of stations throughout the States | jin general, I assure you, frankly, you cannot realise what station interference really is until you have met with, the interference we encounter here in the States. Stations along the Atlantic Coast (8000. miles distance) are sel dom. heard here on the Pacific Coast."
