3ZR.
, [TO THE EDITOR.] Sir,—Would you .grant me space to endorse the remarks of “Coast Advancement,’’ in last night’s “Star”? As a resident of Runangh, I wish to back np the writer’s statement, regarding reception of 3ZR in this area (which, by the way, has the largest number of radio license holders in New Zealand for the sizeof the town). As we are troubled with much atmospheric interference, we are frequently cut right off by more powerful stations, thus often missing important announcements. If we had to rely solely on our local station for entertainment. I am sure many radio licenses would not be renewed. lam convinced that if a survey of New Zealand were to be taken, it would be found that 3ZR is supposed to serve a larger and more rugged area than in any other part of New Zealand. Yet this low-powered station is expected to cover more territory than any other B class station. I trust that this important matter will be brought forward to the broadcasting officials, and a more powerful transmitter installed. Yours, etc., “CENTENNIAL EFFORT.” Runanga, April 16.
