MANAWATU RADIO CLUB. Excellent programmes were put ion by the Manawatu Radio Club yesterday afternoon and evening, being listened to by a big audience throughout New Zealand. The local station is entirely dependent on members’ subscriptions and donations, and many visitors to the studio have expressed surprise that the club receives nothing by way of subsidy from license fees. During the couple of months that it has been going again on increased power it has been heard in all quarters of New Zealand. Recent reports of good reception have been from Kaitaia (North Auckland), Dunedin, Kohu Kuhn (North Auckland), Milton (Otago), Okupu (Great Barrier Island), St. Kilda (Dunedin), Dargaville, Alexandra (Central Otago), Underwood (Invercargill), Lawrence (Otago) and Orcpuki (Southland). Typical letters are : Kaitaia (North Auckland). —I should like to tell you how well your station is coming through way up here in the very far north. It was a pleasure, indeed, to listen in and we now look forward to Wednesday evenings. Wishing you success. Okupu (Great Barrier Island). —Your music came through with such volume that I had to tunc it down. Everything was so clear that one could understand every word you said. It is a credit to such a small station as some of the large ones don’t come through nearly so well. Orcpuki (Southland). —Your station received here O.K. this evening. This place is as far distant from Palmerston North as any in New Zealand and considering your power, it is rather an achievement.
