Note. —New Zealand summer time .is two hours ahead of eastern Australian time. AROUND THE DIALS. (By “Microphone.”) While static has largely disappeared, listeners will no doubt find that overseas stations are jiot up to their usual strength. The Australian “A” class broadcusters are most unreliable. 2FC Sydney has given 2BL pride of place on occasions, the former being unusually weak. 2YA has suffered from mushiness of late and IYA has not given a very good account. The southern stations have been most consistent. Experienced listeners will recognise this period as one requiring patience. AMERICAN AMATEURS.

Listeners on the 80-metre band frequently intercept the conversations of Americans operating stations. Amateurs .in the Dominion at times make contact with them. Unlike many the stations operated by New Zealanders, those of the Americans are the last word in completeness. Their powers often approach { k.w. and with up-to-date outfits they cover large distances. SOUTHERN RELAY. The relays undertaken by the R.B.C’s. southern stations are usually successful, and Sunday night’s broadcast by 4YA and 3YA Waimate was no exception. There was absolute clarity of speech and music, with an absence of extraneous noises. The gddress by the Mayor of Waimate, Mr G. Dash, was well received. 4YA, which carried out the relay, and which was rebroadcast by 3YA, .was particularly free of fading and provided pleasing entertainment. announcing styles. Australian listeners are at the present time complaining of the announcing styles adopted in the Commonwealth. In Sydney, particularly, where the competition between stations is keen, criticism is being constantly heard. The A.B.C.’s stations run the gauntlet more than the “B” class stations and their transmissions cause much discontent. Of tho other broadcasters, 2KY is giving the most satisfaction at the present time, although 2UE and 2GB hold a fair share of favour. DANNEVIRKE ON THE AIR.

Danncvirke han joined the list of towns possessing l broadcasting stations.. Early on Sunday afternoon, the writer picked up 2ZU, operating on 280 metres and transmitting records. An amateur broadcaster at present operates the station under the

call ZL 2CP and was calling up ZL 2CF when heard. 2ZU’s transmission is very steady, there being an absence of fading and mush. TO-NIGHT’S REMINDER.

Remember that when an output filter is employed, it is immaterial which way the speaker is connected. MANAWATU RADIO CLUB. The Palmerston North radio station’s appeal for the donation or loan of gramophone records frqm listcners-in is meeting with a splendid response. Within half-an-hour the station had been promised 1000 records, and twelve hours after the appeal had been broadcast the number had grown to 2663. In addition, offers came to hand of the loan of nearly 100 playerpiano rolls. It was stated to-day that there were now offers of nearly 3000 records fit for re-broadcasting. The committee of the Manawatu Radio Club, which mot last evening, was delighted at, the generous support so quickly forthcoming. Their fears that the station would have to go off the air thus vanished. The use of these records for programmes will be commenced at once.
