ON ALL WAVE-LENGTHS
Ib is understood that the tests recently carried out by engineers of tho Broadcasting Board to determine tho most suitablo locality for tho new transmitting station for IYA showed one sito to bo considerably superior to the others. Howovcr, the final selection will not bo made until an analysis of the results of*tho tests has been made. Ifc is significant to learn that the British Broadcasting Corporation is still busy carrying out experiments with a view to putting a better Empire signal into tho New Zealand and Australian zone. As things stand at present the signal in-New Zealand is so low tho result is definitely not worth tho trouble of rebroadcasting. The radio authorities have, therefore, wisely refrained from doing so until they have something better to broadcast. Experiments ore being made, it is stated, at the Empire transmitting site iu England with special directive aerials calculated to give New Zealand a stronger signal. It will bo some littlo while before it is known whether they havo boon successful.
