Fair TV Prize Offering
Although broadcasting as powerfully as last year, IFTVS, the N.Z.B.C.’s special Industries Fair television channel, is apparently not reaching as far. There is a prize of $2O for the owner of the television set picking up IFTVS from the furthest distance. Last year a viewer in Major Hornbrook Road, Mt Pleasant, six miles from Canterbury Court, picked up the signal clearly to take the prize, but the best anyone has reported this year is three miles—and this was a member of the N.Z.B.C. using a three-element outside aerial at his home in Papanui. Whether the signal from IFTVS is picked up or not. depends a great deal on atmospheric and other conditions, says Mr D. A. Hendry, the operational supervisor of CHTV3.
