NOTES Owners of short wave sets should remember that WLW, the Crossley station at Cincinatti, will broadcast a special test on 52 metres on Sunday next. The Christchurch “Sun” recently held a broadcast ballot to find out the most popular type of item. Instrumental numbers were easily first. Perhaps this explains why 3YA is now broadcasting more entertainment of this type.
