Long Distance Reception of 2YA

LONG-DISTANCE reception of 2YA is frequently reporte | to the Radio Broadcasting Compar.. Particularly good results have been obtained by steamers and not infrequently reception has been reported on the east ecist of the United States. What, however, appears to be a record breaker is a report fror: the second engineer of the Port Glasgow, which recently visited Wellington. When two days out from London 2YA w 3 received very clearly on an ordinary five-valve neutrodyne type of receiver. The fact that it can be received there, 1} t to our knowledge, never in England, goes to show that reception on the sea is much better than on the land. This can be explained by the absence of all forms of interference other than atmospherics and the absence of screening metals and objects.
