DAVENTRY AS HEART

"DAVENTRY is to become

the real heart of World Short Wave Broadcasting. A heart with valves generating sufficient energy to pump its signals to the furthermost enda of the British Empire," said Mr. Malcom Frost, of the British Broadcasting Corporation, who secs in this new station the an swer to many of the lotters which reach him from Hong- kong and other parts of the world.

"Hongkong, in common with other parts of the British Empire, enn look forward to 50 per cent. Increase in signal strength and an increase in transmission hours when the new Daventry is operating."

A THIRD TRANSMITTER Daventry is lu-day the scene of great activity,

"We are not using them, at the present time," added, Mr. Frost, "but the question not so simple as it looks..

"Take the transmission 5, which is primarily meant for Canita. It gives excellent breakfast time reception in Hongkong-In fact in the Far East generally,

"If we used reflectors, Canada would gain in signal strength any thing up to 4 per cent.---Hop/gkong would be weakened to such an ex- tent as to no longer be worth listen- ing to."

When told that early morning reception la very popular In Hong- kong and it would br just cause for another grouse if you listeners were deprived of it, he replied: "Unfortunately, the trouble does not stop, at the question of signal

the point of view blem from echo."

"The technlent staff." said Mr. strength. We must look at the pro- Frost "gre still underided! what they will do with the three old transmitters; the power of each of which is between 10 and 15 K.W. It is possible that they will be ruine bined to form 7041 additional High power unit or they muy be retained for Use *111 programmes, designed for receptio: in the nearer parts of the Empire only. The new trans- milters, like the old ones, have been constructed so that each of them can work on any of the wavelengths reserved for the Empire Stations,

“Work is in progress an the erection of elgbi new masts with an average belght of 300 fret, and when the new scheme is complet. ed, we shall have 12 different arrays of Daventry.

The new erlats have been de- signed on the basis of the remits of the very large number of aerial ex- periments which have been carried out during the past two years and for reports upon which we are in- debled to many overseas listeners."

NEW AERIALS

This is a matter of times and sea- 813. It is possible for us to be using a wavelength nt Daventry which is propagated equally well round the world in both directions, A midday Greenwich we transmil rast and west on 17 metres for re- ception in Malaya and India.

"It is possible for A receiver situated in Hongkont to pick up two separate signals which arrive, one baving travelled thousands of miles further than the other, within fraction of a second of each other.

"This blurring noise can be cl radiation out by eliminating back from the transmitter, or it can be stopped by using a reflector at the receiving merial, but every one can not very well arrange this.

Mr. Frost refused to be drawn os to the probable enst of all the in- provements which are being made. When it was suggested that £250,- 600, the popular estimate, would not be far out, Mr. Frost replied:

"I do not know what it is going to cost. Everything is being done GAC of the to make Daventry

and most conditions

up-to-date strongest

In stations

world.

Asked what type of aerial had been decided upon, Mr. Frost said: "Under the particular existing at Doventry. which gives better results is one which consists of a number of hori- zontal dipoles stacked one above the other nt à distance equivalent to half a wavelength.

"The best number of horizontal dipoles seems to be four in must cases. the bottom dipole being gener- ally not nearer to the ground than one wavelength."

NOT SO SIMPLE

Mr. Frost was unable to any whe- ther reflectors will be used on the new masts. Provision is to be made for them to be used, if desired. Some acrials will probably have reflectors.

• POEMS

Can Empire listeners expect better programmes was the parting query, and the answer will be rend by many Hongkong listeners with disappoint- | ment.

NO CHANGE ·

Mr. Frost was unable to hold out much hope of any change in the composition of the Empire pro- gramme which, he added, are "cost- ing us many thousands of pounds

'Ovaltine' is prepared from Milk plus Mall plus EGGS—the essen- tints of a complete and perfect food. Eggs are particularly Im- portant. They are highly nutri- tious and possess valuable nerve- building properties which cannot be obtained from any other source. Moreover, recent scien- tine investigation has proved the remarkable value of eggs in the most stubborn cases of insomnia and neurasthenia. No tonic food beverage would be complete without the liberal use of eggs, In the interests of quality, the proprietors of 'Ovaltine' have gone to exceptional lengths to obtain the finest ingredients for 'Ovaltine". The 'Ovaltine' Egg Farm of 350 acres with accom- molation for 100,000 hens, and the 'Ovaltine' Dairy Farm, with Its famous prize-winning Jersey Hord, were established to set the highest standards of quality and purity for the eggs and milk. The malt extract is specially made from home-grown barley there
