Hissing And Roaring Are Heard 150 Yards Away

To the Editot, Sir-As a constant reader of the "Radio Record" this last three years, I } read with interest your editorial notes in

the issue of August 4 about different men’s views oh too much radio. Nov, sir, I have nothing to shy on that point, but I think if some of these men yotr interviewed, or better still, some of the members of the Broadcasting Board, were to listen to what I have to put up with through electrical interference. or power lines, they would soon have énough, In yout editorial notes you say péople are slowly but surely killing their appreéciation of music, but, in my case, I {ried to listen to 2ZW, Wellington, this morning, but the ripping and crackling and banging would have driven you out of the house, and at times the hissing and yvoaring could be heard 150 yards away, In fact, half the time I turn on the radio I have to shut it off again. I have had this for two years now; I think when you, pay 30/- a year you ought to be able to use the radio if you want to. Hoping you may-be able to do something in the

matter.-I am, ete.,

G.
