Are Australian Programmes Better Than New Zealand?

To the Editor. Sir,-I own’a crystal set, and it confines me to the programmes of 2YA unless that station is standing by for the chimes when 2ZW is available. According to the "Radio Record," 2YA’s offerings seem to be a fair sample of what

other YA stations give their listeners, lor some time I have been contemplating the purchase of a multi-valye selective receiver in order to hear stations overseas, Australians appear to be afforded the opportunity of hearing, every week. celebrated singers, excerpts from operas, symphony orchestra concerts, plays, farces, chamber music recitals, dance programmes, and musical comedies, but if "Average Listener’ (Hamilton) is any authority they cannot be of much entertainment value. I am a prudent person and intend to accept this opinion as worthy of notice, and will therefore refrain from raiding my Post Office deposit merely in the interest of a radio dealer.-

I am, ete.,
