Supports Protest Against Waste from 2YA

To the Editor. Sir,-It was with pleasure I read "Waste Not, Want Not’s" letter in the "R,R." of September 1. The habit of bursting in on to the air twenty to twentyfive minutes before opening hour, as practiced by 2YA and 2YC, is extremely annoying, and on Sunday afternoon the main transmitter causes much _ heartburning by its unduly early appearance, prior to the commencement of the. song service, A test record is played, and then for a quarter of an hour the wave runs idle. Those with t.r.f. sets, and keen on a bit of dx work, cannot understand why Wellington’ should have to come on so early when all the other YA stations can wait until approximately five minutes beforé schedule opening hour. I entered a protest some two years ago, but it was A voice erying in the wilderness, With regard to the Jesse Crawford controversy, '

I have seen a picture of Jesse, and Mrs. Jesse, seated at the console of some mighty "Roaritzer." Both are skilled organists, so said the caption ’neath the block.-

I am, etc-,

D.X.W.1.
