DAVENTRY BROADCASTS
FOUR WAVE-LENGTHS BEAM DIRECTION SERVICE (British Official Wireloss.) RUGBY, Sept. 4. As a result of improvements carried out during the past two years, the 8.8. C. short-wave station at Daventry is now broadcasting on four wave-lengths simultaneously for 18 hours daily. Generally, the two new high-powered 50 kilowatt transmiters, and two on a lower power, are used at one time. A third high-power transmitter is being built. Daventry, by its new system of direction aerials, is now beaming simultaneous transmissions to six different points for the greater part of 24 hours. As an example of the fuller service offered, it may be stated that the programmes radiated from Daventry can be heard in India for eight to 10 hours daily.
