Radio Reception
Since the new wavelengths for BBC Radio came into operation last November, some listeners have been complaining that radio reception is not satisfactory and, in some cases, not even as good as it used to be. For instance. Radio 4UK on long wave. or Radios 2 and 3 on medium wave. Tuning to VHF may not solve the problem, especially if your car radio doesn't have VHF, or if you have a portable receiver.

Duncan MacEwan , Chief Engineer, Radio Broadcasting. and Geoffrey Sturge , Assistant Head of Engineering Information Department, are in the studio to answer your complaints, and to advise on how to get the best reception on your radio set. Judith Chalmers is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit Lines are open from

During the Second World War Philip Callahan. a young entomologist, noticed a similarity in the behaviour of male moths seeking a partner. and of aircraft flying in and out of a homing radio beam. From that observation,
Dr Callahan, who works: at the United States De- partment of Agriculture : in Gainsville, Florida, has built a theory that he ' believes can explain many aspects of insect behaviour - including the old problem of why moths are attracted to candle flames. He talks to GEOFF WATTS about his ideas. Producer GEOFF DEEHAN
