SUCCESSFUL TELEPHONY. AMATEUR'S SHORT-WAVE TEST. [BY TELEGRAM. —OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] CHRISTCHURCH Wednesday Speaking from his home in Caterham, Kent, the voice of Mr. Gerald Marcuse. the English radio amateur, of. station 2NM, was heard with wonderful clarity in Christchurch last evening. Mr. Marcuse broadcast greetings tc the people of the British Empire. The reception of tho speech was perfect and a musical programme was enjoyed for over an hour. The transmission was picked up at 5.30 p.m., and was held until the station closed down at 6.35 p.m. Transmission throughout was steady and both music and speech wore followed with ease. This reception is unique, as it is believed to be the first occasion on which English amateur telephony has been heard at such strength in New Zealand. Tho transmission was on 32.5 metres and tuuing was very critical. It was staled that regular transmissions to the Dominions had not begun yet, and that 2NM was making only test broadcast^-
