2YB, New Plymouth

Official Reopening THE official opening of 2YB, New Plymouth, as established in its new and commodious premises, took place on the evening of Monday, July 14. The opening ceremony was performed by his Worship the Mayor of New Plymouth. A quick job was made in the trans ference of all the apparatus of the ol studio to the new premises, and the rearrangement of all the necessary gear and equipment, Credit is due in this connection to the enthusiastic co-opera-tion of members of the Taranaki Radio Society, headed by the executive. Testing was carried out on the evenings of July 8 and 9, and all put in train for an efficient discharge of transmission from the new studio. The support accorded the society in its new venture has been very satisfactory, but there is still room for moré co-operation on the part of the citizens, not only of New Plymouth and Taranaki, but of other parts of New Zealand, who appreciate the service given by this station. A correspondent in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay, has written suggesting that B stations in other localities, as a friendly gesture, might broadcast an appeal to the paplic of their district to forward some tion to the North Taranaki Radio Society. This proposal is commended to those who are interested.
