HOW 2LO WAS RECEIVED.

Philip's experimental' radio station; PCJJ, at Edindhoven, Holland, first received 2L07 London, and then re-brooad-casted the on a short wavewith a transmitting power of 60 kilowatts. That was received by Mr. Raymond AJlaop at Linfield on a receiver specially designed for the 'purpose. The reception by loud speaker was transmitted by landline to 2BL studio, and thence to the broadcasting station at Coogee, where it was put- on the air with a power -of SOOOwatts. • ' The first transmission came through shortly after 1 o'clock* in the morning,. but was not'sufficiently strong to bo rebroadcasted by 2BL. An hour later, when it was getting dark- in London, the signal strength rapidly increased, and the items of the programme of 2LO could be clearly followed. When 2LO commenced I its nigHt programme the transmission was ! ■wonderfully clear, and, -save for intermittent fatting, was quite as good as ordinary interstate-reception-on- tha best five or six valve receivers. The loud speaker strength within 100 miles of Sydney on a 5-valve neutrodyne, was sufficient to £11 a large room. Great credit and the thanks of radio listener* in .Australia and New Zealand axe duo to the Philips' radio experimenters, and 2BL, for their enterprise in carrying out this feat. A new era in vrorld broadcasting has been established, •nd in the near future this performance .frill no doubt be emulated by many xadja engineers and broadcasting stations.
