NOTES The transmision from the Dutch shortwave station PCJJ was heard in Devonport this morning as relayed from the Sydney station 2FC. Owing to summer time being in operation in England at present the programme began earlier than was expected. The relay from 2FC was one of the most successful ever conducted by that station. Band items were heard at full loud-speaker strength on a sixvalve set, while other items were equally strong. 2FC closed down at 6.35 a.m. Short-wave set owners should be able to pick up the first transmission from 2IS. M, the low-wave station of Mr. Gerald Marcuse, at England, tomorrow morning. 2NM is to broadcast on 30 metres.
