the Ealtor of the "Nowri-Cimxa Dany News"
Sm—There has been considerable correspondence recently on receptl of foreign broadcasting In Shanghai and difeuities of reception, especi ly from Daventry in the early missions. Personally T have not ex-Perienced this diffeulty. I admit that for a time this summer it was not quite so good as usual but now it comes in at full strength from 3 Pam. onwards, I haven't tried than this yet.
For instance on Monday, October 8, I switched on and got London on the nineteen metre band GSO. (551 Jmegacycles) at 3 p.m., at full strength, with less power than it takes to get locals. On the programme was a plane-forte recital, one of the pieces being an English' Pastoral "On the HilleTops;" songs, "Slip Into My Bosom," "Drink to Me Only With Thine "Byes." "A Glass of Golden Wine:* talks: Wyne Thomas on the Fishing Industry and a talk on the Tea Industry. This last talk on tea isa repetition. having been given several days ago: in it George Bernard Shaw Is stated to have said thal, "I never drink tea, It is a most dangerous and pernicious drug, {tis peopling the world with dipsomaniaes." "This was followed by the news at pin. local time, 9 am, GMT. starting with a talk by Miss Jean Batten, who was just about to leave on her fight to New Zealand, Of course, broadcast reception here would be much better if there was not so much local interference, the Tocal' stations being the greatest offenders and nothing is ever done about it Downe.
