1ZR, Auckland

1090 Ke., 275 Metres. Dp? some radio enthusiasts never go to bed? This is a question that is interesting the 1ZR technical staff. Recently, in the course of testing a new amplifier just installed at about 4 a.m. reception was registered in so many directions that we began to wonder if there is an army of somnambulists of which we are unaware. Christchurch, ‘Wanganui, Chatham Islands and others in various districts reported clear reception at that early hour, so 1ZR might be tempted to extend the hours of transmission. WHEN an experienced public speaker, after addressing an unseen audience per medium of the microphone, shakes hands with anyone that happens to be within "cooee’ of the studio, ineluding the typist and visitors who have just dropped in to leave baby’s birthday, gives the station director a packet of cigarettes, and departs the best of friends with the world, is he just a jolly good fellow, or could it possibly be "mike consciousness?" An Auckland station assistant is still in doubt, and it is a fact that the "mike" atmosphere is an individual one, freezing some first offenders stone cold, while others radiate and expand in its warmth. 1ZR Programmes Friday, April 8. 10.30 a.m.: Devotional service, Uncle Scrim. 11.15: "Mensama"’-‘Numer-ology." 11.40: Popular music programme. 5 pm: Dinner music. 6: Children session-Fairy Princess and Uncle Kam. 7%: Mr. Bill Hindman, "Sport." 8-10: Popular programme, Saturday. 10.30 a.m.: Devotional service, Sister Rita. 10.45: Music. 1.30 p.m:
