MORE POWERFUL BROADCASTING

Improvements Made At The B.B.C,

As the result of improvements carried out during past two years, the B.B.C. Short Wave Broadcast- ing Station at Daventry is now broadcasting on four wavelengths simultaneously for 18 hours daily.

Generally two new high-power- ed 50 kilowatt transmitters and two on low power are, used. A third high-power transmitter is being build.

Daventary by its new system of direction aerials is now beaming simultaneous transmissions to aix different points for the greater part of 24 hours. As example of fuller service offered it may be stated that programmes radiated from Daventry can be heard in India for a total of from eight to ten hours daily.
