NEW B STATION IN WELLINGTON Plans for the erection of 2ZW, Web iington’s new B class station, are now well in hand. This station will have a power of 500 watts in the aerial and will work on a wave-lengcn of .268.9 metres. The studio, aerial system and transmitter will bo situated on the new premises of If. N'iramo and Sons Ltd., Willis street. Work on those premises is nowstarting in order that the station may ho opened officially at the beginning of December. The station will be conducted under flu- auspices of the combined radio traders of Wellington.

It is hoped, to provide an nll-dav service of programmes. These will consist partly of gramophone records controlled and provided by the firm on whose premises the station will In* erected, and partly of original programmes from outside sources.

Radio dealers stale that the new station will now make it possible for them to demonstrate their receivers at nil hours of the, day, including the mornings. It will not ho necessary to do this wqrk after hours as is virtually necessary at present. The power of the station is great enough for it to be heard up to 20 or 50 miles from the city on quite unambitious valve sets and it should have a crystal range of at least live or six miles.
