"Great Britain's £200,000 Radio Disappointment."
Dissatisfaction with Droitwich
DESCRIBED by. Collie Knox in the "Daily Mail’ as "Great Britain’s £200,000 radio disappointment,’ the new high-powered transmitter at Droitwich seems to be putting furrows in the brows of B.B.C. officials. The hope was expressed by the chief engineer of the B.B.C: that when Droitwich came on-the air "British
listeners would get radio reception of a purity and general quality ahead of anything they have known before.’’ But this does not seem to have been borne out in practice. There are parts of the West-country where Droitwich can be heard only with difficulty and in both North Wales and Cornwall the station is fading badly day and night. . Long-wave reception from Droitwich, in addition to fading, is also subject to electrical interference about four times as strong as on the medium waves.
