MORSE INTERFERENCE

(By “Microphone.”)

Interference by Morse lias been very pronounced during the transmissions of the Auckland B class station IZB on Monday evening. The broadcast has been spoiled on several occasions, and requests have been made to the station to change its wave-length. The management announced, however, that under the regulations it was not allowed to do this. Complaint was also made to tho radio inspector, who said the trouble was caused by a harmonic from one of the warships, but apparently nothing has been done to improve the position.

RECORDING WHOLE PROGRAMMES.

Tho broadcasting stations in America employ 16-inch discs with especially prepared programmes. The programmes, which are recorded on these records, are usually superior to the “living” performances of many broadcasting stations, due to the high-class talent available in the Now. York recording studios. Each of the discs furnishes a quarter of an hour’s selected entertainment comprising four or five complete pieces. Intermissions are provided between each selection thereby leaving time for the local announcer to reveal his station’s identity.. These records are all of the finest electrical recording systems known, and assure tone in tho reproduction of items. There are already over 200 different discs from which to make a selection. These records (which are comparatively new to'America) would prove of value to New Zealand stations, but unless the B stations, combined, the cost would be high as they are over £1 each in U.S.A. while the copyright would be extra. ENJOYABLE CONCERT. The Manawatu Radio Club’s station 2ZF provided an unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable programme on Wednesday night. The Palmerston North Orpheus Male Choir, under the conductorship of Mr T. P. Henderson, provided the majority of the numbers, while individual'artists also contributed largely to the sue-

cess of the broadcast. Mr C. W. Tippett acted as accompanist. THE WELLINGTON “B” STATION. It has been learned that the proposed 1000-watt B class station for Wellington will not now come on the' air. A license has been withheld from the applicants. The radio trade of Wellington intended to have run the station. TO-NIGHT’S REMINDER. Remember that in addition fo contravening the underwriters’ regulations, the use of a gas pipe or - tap as an “earth” is highly dangerous. The red-lead connections prevent an efficient conductor being formed. In most all-electric sets the earth wire carries a current and it only lakes a very small spark to ignite the gas.
