(By “Microphone.”) Tho announcement has been made that rapid progress has been accomplished in the construction of the new Australian relay stations which are now nearing completion. Tho following are the particulars of the new transmitters: — 2NC Beresficld, near Newcastle. —Wavelength, 241 metres; frequency, 1245 kilocycles; power into the aerial, 2000 watts. 4RK Rockhampton.—Wave-length, 322 metres; frequency, 931 kilocycles; power into aerial, 2000 watts. These stations will actually have the same power as 2FC and 2BL which are rated on a different system. Tho following ten new B class stations aro to commence in the near future: — N.S.W. —2AY Albury, 227 metros, 50 watts; 2MO Gunnedah, 200 metres, 50 watts; 2XN Lismore, 224 metres, 50 watts. Victoria.—3KZ Carlton, 222 metres, 200 watts; 3TR Trafalgar, 234 .metres, 50 watts; 2BA Ballarat, 231 metres, 50 watts. Queensland. —4BC Brisbane, 233 metres, 200 watts; 4MK Mackay, 252 metres, 100 watts. South Australia.—sAD Adelaide, 229 metres, 300 watts. Tasmania. —7HO Hobar.t, 337 metres, 50 watts. ■ Tho wave-lengths allotted to these new B class stations are, in most cases, very close together, but as the power employed

is very small there should be little heterodyning. The stations occupy the lower end o£ the generally adopted waveband and will doubtless experience trouble with some of tho Australian amateurs who aro permitted to use these wave-lengths. The amateurs in the majority of cases operato very efficient transmitters which are often heard in New Zealand. I GOOD-BYE TO 2BL! Station 2BL Sydney is “no more” — meaning the transmitter and studios of the days before the A.B.C. assumed control. 2BL has been installed in the same building as 2FC, their studios being at right angles to each other. A partition is all that separates the control rooms of the respective sttaions which are both situated on tho third floor of the Market Street offices of tho A.B.C. Certain Australians are protesting that 2BL has now lost its individuality. A feature of the transmission that is missed is tho “Topical Chorus” sung prior to the evening presentation. The most important news of the day was briefly embodied in half a dozen stanzas which were set to a popular tune. The old 2BL used to be located in Bligh Street, Sydney. Some of the more experienced listeners will doubtless remember the Topical Chorus. At th end of each verso listeners were advised to “Tunc in, tune in, and see you do it well. You’ll hear the best of everything from Station 28L.” TO-NIGHT’S REMINDER. Remember to be careful when using ammonia for cleaning tho sidos and tops of accumulators. If any ammonia should oomo into contact with the electrolyte, the latter will become neutralised.
