SURPRISE BROADCAST, THE WRESTLING MATCH. (By “Microphone.”) Wednesday evening was a night of surprises from the Manawatu Radio Club’s station 2ZF. Following the apeparance of Mr Rex Harrison, it was announced that a description of the Pasha-Ray wrestling match would be relayed from the Opera House. Mr Waters experienced difficulty in securing an announcer a wrestler who “knew tho game,” but finally succeeded in getting Mr F. R. Lewis to face the microphone. There was a sigh of rolief among the club’s officials when Mr Lewis kindly undertook tho position two minutes before tho first gong went. Mr Waters, an old hand at announcing, says that only those who have experienced giving a running description through the microphone can realise what a disconcorting and unresponsive piece of apparatus it can be. Mr Lewis i> to bo congratulated on his clear description. Tho Radio Club, who undertook the relay, and incidentally surprised the majority of listeners, is to bo commended for the interest it is taking in tho local radio world. 2ZF has been playing its part admirably during tho year. DINNER MUSIC FROM 2ZM. On Thursday evening, “Microphone” picked up 2ZM Gisborne during its dinner music sossion. The transmission was first tuned in at about 6.30 o’clock, and from then on till 7.10 no announcement wa3 made. Finally listeners were informed that tho station would be closing down till 8 o’clock when it would re-open for its usual evening session. Unlike tho dinner from the YA stations, vocal items were included. STILL REACHING OUT 1 Station 2ZF is apparently still reaching out ,as the last mail brought letters from many sources. Among these were Invercargill, Queenstown, Shirloy, Huntly, Gisborne, Auckland, Marlborough, Timaru and Westport. It appears that the station is reaching from one end of tho Dominion to the other. Tho comparatively low wave-length employed is doubtless of advantage. It) has been noticed that stations operating on the longer wavelengths do not roach as far out as do those allotted a lower wave-band. ELECTION RESULT. Station 2YA Wellington performed a valuable service when it went on tho air on its usual silent evening to broadcast tho result of the Invercargill byelection. Mr Drummond was at his post as usual and kept listeners posted up with the latest returns. 2ZF was thus enabled to let-local listeners have the results much earlier than would otherwise have been the case. IMPATIENCE 1 When 2ZF announced that it intended to relay a description of the recent wrestling contest, some time elapsed before tho actual relay took place. Tho station officials were somewhat amused at various poople ringing up, and anxiously enquiring when, they were going to switch over. In fact, some listeners spoke angrily over the telephone because the programme of music continued till a few minutes after 9 p.m.—apparently afraid that those in charge of the rolay were not going to let them hear the whole of the big bout. Wireless listeners appear to have a kind of “mob psychology” all of their own, and the virtuo of jjatienco often shrinks to a negligible quantity. HOWLING VALVES. Palmerston North is evidently not the only locality in which some Bet owners persist in oscillating. On Wednesday evening, 2ZF had occasion to ask a Levin set owner to refrain from howling on its wavelength. The Radio Club’s station ipust be much sought after in Levin, as this is not the first warning to regenerative set owners in that area. KEEPING COSY. 2ZF officials and staff are enabled to keep cosy during the long winter ‘even-

ings by a ■well equipped studio and announcers’ box. During the year, several donations of furniture and upparatus have been made to the club by businessmen. Tho latest addition is an upholstered chair for the announcers’ box, and these officials will perhaps feel disposed to ‘‘carry on” beyond the usual hours. TO-NIGHT’ REMINDER. Remember that when there is a super abundance of static, it is advisable to keep the volume control well down. Employ only enough current consistent with comparatively satisfactory reception.
