WIRELESS BROADCAST.

MELBOURNE TO LONDON. EXCELLENCE OF ' RECEPTION. (Received January 30, 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Jan. 29. A radio transmission from 3LO Melbourne, was: received splendidly at the British Broadcasting Corporation-s station at Keston, near London, between 7.45 p.m. and 8.50 p.m., Greenwich mean time. This constituted by far the most successful attempt which has yet been made. It was regretted that the transmission could not be relayed throughout England, as the strength and consistency of the signals justified, but no arrangements had been made for a re'ay owing to previous disappointments with this station. A few privileged Australians who listened by land line irom Keston were surprised to hear in tho weather forecast that a deep depression was located in the vicinity of Lord Howe Island, as they had imagined Iceland to be the exclusive home of atmospheric depressions from which England is a constant and unwilling sufferer. A musical item, " The Girl of Yesterday," with vocal chorus, vras heard as perfectly as anything broadcast by 2LO London. Experts are del ghted with tho result. The wave-length used was 32 metres.
