POWER INTERRUPTIONS. (By “Microphone.”) Listeners who attempted to use their all-electrio receivers on Sunday morning would find that, owing to power mterruptionfl, reception was intermittent. Happily these conditions do not frequently obtain. AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTERS. There are now 32 private broadcasting atations in Australia. The custom of using the labels A and B to distinguish the public stations from those privately owned, with its emphasis upon the secondary nature of the private stations, has been dropped from official communications, and will, no doubt, soon fall into disuse. Not every one of these 32 private stations is yet on the air, but listeners may expect to hear them within a few months. When they are fully operating they will provide a wider variety of entertainment than ever before. •

INTERNATIONAL CODE. The code of abbreviations adopted by the International Radiotelegraph Convention is as follows: ; 1. Hardly perceptible, unreadable. 2. Woak, readable now and tuen. 3. Fairly good, readable with difficulty. 4. Good, readable. 5. Very good, perfectly readable. The ojd practice Of giving signal

strength, as RB, etc., was never entirely satisfactory, and has now fallen into disuse due to the varying interpretations. TO-NIGHT’S REMINDER. Remember that more frequent inspections for dust deposits in receiver interiors will now have to be mado due to the present .dry .weather.
