NOTES While listening to 2FC about 10.30 last night, an Auckland enthusiast was surprised to hear voices during the intervals between items. One husky voice asked how the mucic was coming through, and another replied. There followed a short chat about a microphone continued in the intervals when 2FC was off the air The voices could be heard about five feet from the speaker, a three-valve set being in use. We will be pleased to hear from anyone who knows anything of this broadcast.
