To the Editor of the "Nonru-Ciua Dany News"
Sm—In your Issue of to-day page @ isan item which contains most welcome news for every owner of a radio in Shanghai. It is stated that the Ministry of Communications, has ordered eight small Chinese broadcasting stations in Shanghai ta shut down, because they lack proper equipment' and interfere with the operation of other stations.
It appears that the owners of these small stations plan to ght the Government order and are appealing for public support, They allege that, due to the low power of their stations, Interference {is -impossible.
This interesting idea shows that the owners of these stations appear to be absolutely ignorant of the most elementary radio principles. Any radio mechanic can construct a trans milter, using a few small tubes out of an ordinary radio, which will interfere with reception in on area larger than, Shanghai.
It is known that the transmitters:
some of the smaller Chinese broadcasting stations are crude, homemade affairs. They would not be permitted to operate in any civilized country in any other part of the world.
Shanghai_has over forty licensed stations on the broadcast band, which is more than all the stations in Great Britain, and most of them are without crystal frequency control. The elimination of these eight small stations will be a godsend to thousands of listeners and should be greatly appreciated by all fair minded residents of the city.
