REQUEST OF MANY

An overwhelming number of listeners who voted in the recent Radio Competition expressed the desire for relays of short wave stations in addition to those from Daventry.

Local relays from Daventry are undoubtedly popular.

11 will

be recalled that Relays of Daventry General Items and Daventry Sporting Items were included in the first ten items voled for.

Nevertheless, Daventry relays, for one reason or another, do not please all the listeners, Some suggest that they should be cut out during the summer months; others that ZBW should relay the Empire station only when reception is excellent.

A large number of the listeners who submitted suggestions for improving ZBW's programmes, asked for relays from other stations,

Here are some extracts from their letters:

"G.8. "The Dance Music relayed from Daventry is good, but the transmission from ZBW is poor. Is it not possible to bring about some improvement?

"ILJ.G.":—For a change, what ahout relays from stations other than

Daventry?

"Mrs. A. W. I."-If atmospheries are bad for Daventry relays, cut the items, and give us something we con hear..

"BW.":-Everybody tikus good singing, and i have several fitnes leked up Continental stations when they have been broadcasting Grand Opéra, 'Why can't some

of these stations be relayed?

"J.C.":—What about relays from

Zeesen?

"HE.C.W." I would muggest that when interesting iterns, such as the Wimbledon Finals, are being relay ed from Daventrý, they should be reliyed in full and not interrupted for a recital of gramophone records from the studio, which can be given on any night.

BLATTNERPHONE "J.M.W.-Procure a Blatinerphone and use it to record in Hongkong those programmes which can be received almost perfectly from Da- ventry outside usual ZDW transmit ting hours. (All through the year Daventry, reception is good from 11 pm onwards) The latinerphone tape can then be used for brout casting from ZBW the following evening. Afterwards the tape can be demagnetised ant be ready for use again. Recording the programmes In Hongkong would have a definite bdvantage over procuring grammes from England, as it will avold the monotonous repetition of the latter.
