To the Editor of the "NonrH-CuiNa Dairy News."
Sin,—I have been very interested in the announcement by Mr. H. C. Stone of the China General Edison in the "North-China Daily News'
of the special" broadcast eral Station Schenectady. I have a powerful 5- valve receiver at this address, and naturally listened during the period of transmission yesterday, but found that. interference from static and other extraneous noises was so bad that if Thad been receiving the W.G.Y. transmission, it would have been inaudible in the clamour that reached my head-phones With reference to Mr. Stone desire for ce-operation in listening for these signals, I am afraid he will find great difficulty in securing it in Shanghai. A Radio Society there is certainly, but in name alone, for no meetings have been held at all this season, not even the annual general meeting. Yet we see public announcements that the officers of the society are finding time to. undertake wireless "stunts" on their own. which will get their names into print,—a state of affairs. obviously in direct opposition to the fundamental objects of a society.
should be glad' to know from Mr. Stone if it would be possible for the General Electric Co.'s broudcasting station at Oakland, California, to make a few special twansmissions on increased power during the coming: winter, in that wireless enthusi side of the Pacific may ha and_more favourable opportunities of testing their ability to effect long. distance reception.
