Adjustment Takes Time.

T has to be borne in mind that the adjusting of a modern type transmitter, when installed to a definite plan, takes a considerable time. Indeed, in the case of one of the London regional stations Buch work took fully eight months. The problem here in Hongkong. according to Mr. L. II. King, Chief Electrical Engineer, is rendered all the more difficult. from the fact that a new transmitter is being brought into service on exactly the same wave length as the exist ing one. It will thus be seen that no work can be done in tuning the new transmitter whilst the old one in on the air. Thus only a few hours daily are left for such work. The new transmitter has now been taken off programme work until completely and finally adjusted.

No Reports Received, When the new transmitter was first put into use, the public were requested to report to Mr. King as to strength of signal, but, strange lo say, no reports have been re- ceived from anyone in the Colony.

This is regretted, Since the in-
