Regional Station Needed For Invercargill

To the Editor. Sir-I wish to endorsé the remarks itinde by "Down South" about thé "bad daytime feeeption in Inveyeargill," for conditions afe all that he says and more. 1YA rélays to 1ZH, and 2YA to 2ZD and 2ZF on three or four nights a week, so Why not a relay from 4YA to 44P for at least thrée nights a week? We are. fed ip with hearing the same told time+worp recordings ftom 4ZP, aud in any ease aren't we entitled to enjoy city pfog¥aimes as well as listeners iti Masterton, Palmerston North, and Hamilton? Now that the "Radio Resérd" is giving prominence to thé board’s plan to erect héw transmitters at Auckland’ dnd: Dunedin, I vénttye to hope that they will give ¢ffedt to the 1931 Radio Coverage Cotimission’s recohimendations and trahéfer the present 4YA to Awarua to fuyiection as a régional station ¢ipabje of pioviditig 16¢al or relayed programmés front: Dunedin. , The pYogrammes are a matter for congratulation to the directors concepned, but it is a pity that we are tinable to listen to them without having to put up with fades, power interference, morse, and static. I hope othe# Southland listeners will hélp by showing that it is not only afew who are finding reception conditions unSatisfactory, and that we are feally in need of a local regional station. Thanking you, Sir, for valuablé space=I ami,
