With the opening of its first regional broadcast atation Great Britain, which has always been in. the foreground of broadcasting development, has again set up · a new criterion of quality and re Hability.
Reports on reception received from abroad indicate that the quality is good; and, what is more important, there have bean no com- plaints that the station interferes with its neighbours in the wayal length plan even though its power is about 80 kw. in the aerial.” This 15" valuabis testimony to the coù; stancy of the Marcon!' broadcasting transmitters.
