ALL-INDIA RADIO

PROPOSED BROADCASTING SYSTEM Mr 6. W. Goyder, the chief engineei of the Delhi broadcasting station, gavi a radio talk in Mysore in which he explained the proposed All-India radio scheme, “ The system,” he said, “ consists in providing a second-class service over , a large area by means of short wavelengths, with the' simultaneous use of a medium wavelength for efficient servics over large centres of population. Although medium wavelengths alone can give a first-class broadcast service, short wavelengths are necessary to cover th« outlying parte of the country. The development of All-India radio In th» immediate future is expected to be limited to eight new stations, four ol them being medium'wave stations al Lahore, Lucknow; Dacca, and Trichinopoly; the other four stations will be shortwave stations at important centres such as Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay, and possibly Madras. In visiting various towns miy object has been to consider suitable sites for the location ol the transmitters, which are expected t« be of high power (skws). Transmitters of such high power have 'to bx located about five miles outside the towns so as to avoid difficulties ovei tuning-in.”
