AN AMAZING FACT. AUCKLAND FAMILY HEAR SAN FRANCISCO CONCERT BY WIRELESS. On Sunday evening an Auckland family sat spellbound listening to an Orchestral Concert given in the Hotel Francis, San Francisco, OVER 6000 MILES AWAY. The voice of the Announcer and the Music came through the ether, crystal clear. There was no trace of distortion or Idemish of any kind. The Radio Receiver used was the latest and most popular set in America—a F.E. Neutrodyne 5 Valve Receiver. This set was landed only the day before by Messrs. Radio, Ltd., of Queen Street, and the wonderful ease of operation and adaptability, can be gauged by the fact that only a few feet of wire temporarily hung INDOORS, served as an aerial. Here at last is the right Radio Receiver for everyone. Simple operation—a child can use it. Speech and music received with perfect clarity. No distortion, squeals, howls or whistles. The ideal set for isolated country homes. New Zealand, Australian and American Broadcasting stations now transmitting concerts nightly. Be properly equipped and make the long winter evenings speed in the fascination of "listening in" to the wonders of the air. You should get your equipment from Radio, Ltd., Queen Street, Auckland (next Herald Office), who will give you proved and tested apparatus with the necessary expert service. Radio, Ltd., also supply parts and accessories. Those interested in home construction should send for The Amateur Radio Book, 3s 6d, explaining the fascinating science pi Radio. —AavU
